Neither did Bobby Clark, if you're playing that game. And Minteh's time here contributed far more to the club than he did. And arguably most of the others, for that matter.

Does anyone care about Bobby Clark? I guess to the extent of ‘ah, shame a young player left’. It’s hardly worth getting worked up about.

Btw I fail to see how him not previously wearing the shirt has any relevance what so ever 

Harder to get emotionally attached to a player we’ve never seen kick a ball for us surely?

[80]

All this fantasising about rage and grief over losing him. It's pretty blatantly people's repressed feelings leaking out at this point.

It’s mainly because people detest Almiron tbf

Yeah i get what you are saying but the annoyance comes from what’s to come from him and not what he’s done in past. In all honesty very early signs but he would have answered our right winger problem and the longer we go not signing one and him playing well…

Am I the only one failing to see the ‘great potential’ in Anderson? I just never saw anything special there.

 

Not at all, he's a decent squad player for a top half PL club at best.

Shouldn’t have signed Tonali in hindsight….

But what about what he’s going to do in the future?

If we’d sold Joelinton and kept Minteh do we think we win easily yesterday?

I’d very much doubt Joelinton was ever under consideration to be sold. Also you are using an isolated incident.

How come so many people in here are claiming the plan was to sell Joelinton? I assumed it must have been widely reported? So there was really no way of keeping Minteh?

Just google “Joelinton” and “Ashworth” and you will get what you want.

 

There were a lot of news reported back in around last December, that the club did not want to extend Joelintons contract. Then after Ashworth started his garden leave the club immediately started the extension talk with Joelinton.

 

if you have been following the news you should know the above.

There's one of them behind me as well! 😂

Some people only see the glass 5% empty instead of 95% full. If ffp / psr wasn’t a thing and the owners came in and said they’re going to invest £1bn in players then some would complain it wasn’t £2bn.

Isn’t it only because Ashworth wasn’t keen on giving him a new contract and Staveley stepped in and got it done?

Anyone saying they 'detest' a player who absolutely grafts his bollocks off and plays with a massive smile on his face all the time needs to frankly GTF.

 

He has limitations, and I'm as annoyed as anyone by his utter refusal to use his right foot, but we need a little perspective here.

[BottledDog]

Fast becoming a club legend this lad. We'll be hoying up statues to him soon.

[Chris_R]

Thanks but a statue seems overkill, I'm just shitposting when bored.

Check last year's Madison's thread, or this year's Guehi thread for evidence of the contrary. At least Minteh was actually ours.

So back to my original question - which player would you want in the team yesterday?

Soon? I’ve already made one of him for my garden where he is made from solid gold, beheading Almiron, and Almiron is made out of baked dog shit.
