Yankuba Minteh (now playing for Brighton & Hove Albion)

[Dandy Man]

Whatever it is it is, sometimes you've got to take a punch to land a punch. Been said before but the proliferation of chat about things like asset management, revenue streams, amortisation, player ceilings etc etc is dull as shit though especially when nobody can really know whats going on beyond a vaguely educated guess.

We haven’t really made any questionable moves. I mean, question them if you want, but the answers are pretty clear. 

80+ million pound on two co-lieutenants on the left wing, with miggy almiron starting on the right, under PSR constraints, is a misallocation any way you slice it

If he was available for the season we would have a lot more money now , freak injury but he was a good signing 

Agreed, we would have seen less of Almiron and Murphy, had it not happened and made Europe, maybe even got our of our champs league group. How low people seem to rate Barnes is baffling

From an earlier discussion on here, it's unsure if the Minteh money goes towards simply paying off our deficit, or if it's available to spend going forwards. Could be the case it’s just gonzo, to offset all our previous spending. 

Because of the rolling nature of PSR it’s both.

Just been reading back through the last few pages, some of you lot are absolutely fucking nuts

Oh aye.  The fact he has gone to Brighton makes me a little nervous that he is going to be baller (they don't get much wrong).  If he is the second coming of Messi I will be sick.

 

Wow ...

 

So who are the stars that have come through at Brighton exactly.

 

Even with Caicedo all I saw was people saying he was overrated and never worth what Chelsea paid for him on here. And he's hardly been revolutionary for them.

 

And so who are these examples that should have us so worried about Brighton's expertise?

The silence from Minteh is deafening

The fuck going on in here like?

 

the Feyenoord fans don’t even rate him that highly. They say he’s a headless chicken. This is good bit of business and Minteh was bought for cheap to sell on to make profit. Job done.

 

 You're gonna get needles off the Church of Minteh loons. 

[Tsunami]

It’s a great deal, even when Chelsea buy him for 70M or more next close season.

Has James asked for an apology yet?

I don't get how people can blame the club - it's these ridiculous rules that are at fault.

Because the club know them and should have the wherewithal to abide by them. No matter how much we hate them, we know the consequences if you breach.

How can you possibly know what the people at the club actually think about Minteh?

 

There's literally people on the Feyenoord forum calling the guy a headless chicken. We're not talking about a player even all of their fans are all raving about here.

 

This is pretty strange man. I'm just not sure how you can be so sold on this guy becoming a world beater.

Do you think the people at the club want to sell him for football reasons? What do you think of Brightons recruitment approach?

 

I’m not sold on Minteh becoming a world beater. I’m sold that the underlying data for Minteh suggests that he’s one of the most promising teenage wingers in Europe. I think the evidence pointed out high potential when he was in scandi and we paid a pretty penny at the time to take the risk. The evidence points again that the kid is a problem which is why several clubs are willing to spend £30m on a teenager with 1 season in the Eredivisie. Including the smartest operators in the premier league Brighton.

Tbf the club only knew when Everton got the deduction.

Every transfer window we have posters booting off because we haven’t strengthened the squad enough, despite the fact we know these rules exist.
 

This is not a place full of mentally sound individuals.

sees thread title oh I’m sure the response will be measured

 

 

[TheHoob]

Absolutely wild to me the certainty that some posters are talking with when they don't know if/how the coaching staff and board rate him, have probably barely seen him play, don't have a scooby how our finances are actually looking, what if any interest there has been for other players, or what our plans are for the rest of the window.

Tbf none of those individuals know the financial situation of the club 

[STM]

For me, I don't really disagree with either side of the argument.

 

However, I do wonder why some choose to always view their own club through the most negative of lenses.

[Deuce]

Anyway, that’s a profit of close to £30m in a single season for a guy who wouldn't have featured for us this season anyway.

[Jaqen]

I think it's safe to say heads will roll when his excellency finds out we've sold the next Messi.

The evidence suggests we are selling him right now to meet the PSR deadline.  
 

That suggest we are on track to break FFP unless we make a sale. 
 

Making sales so close to the deadline suggests the issue hasn’t been managed with the best preparation.  But good enough to meet the deadline. 
 

 

These are all things fairly simple to conclude by thinking people.
