Time will tell how well he does, we seemingly needed rid due to psr and we’ve sold at a good fee/profit, but let’s not pretend we’d not be stoked if instead of selling a 33m rated 19 year old right wing wonderkid that the likes of Brighton and Dortmund were after, we’d be buying one. Mebbes so but there's plenty pretending he is the new messi despite probably never seeing him play. Wasn't that long ago the feyenoord fans weren't that impressed with him.

I mean, sure, its all about mindset, but the way people are going on, are like he's the next best thing in World football when the jury is very much out. He could be, but he could also turn out to be the opposite, this fee is ridiculous for one half decent season in a non-top 5 league, and is really good business from the club imo.

All that said happy we've covered for PSR... Have a feeling we're going to spend big this summer and we'll be happy when its all said and done.

Bare in mind a 33 year old Luuk de Jong scored 29 goals in 34 matches last season in the same division. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea and Chris Wood had 14 this year - Minteh subbed regularly which is why per 90 is the more telling figure imo Not saying he's the next Mane, or that he won't end up being a dud, but we shouldn't pretend the numbers are not extremely impressive.

Show me who said he’d 100% certainly become the next Messi/Mane or stop being an arse disrespecting people for feeling uneasy about having to sell an obviously talented youngster who plays in a position where we obviously need a talent boost Edited June 30 by Unbelievable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about you have a small read of the Miley thread and see if there are any references to him having the potential to be a top class player? I reckon you won’t have to search too much. It means nothing in itself to say a talented youngster maybecome very good, what is so upsetting about it..? Edited June 30 by Unbelievable Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go and find the post yourself, someone literally said he's going to be as good as Mane. Talking about disrespectful, how about you (and others) stop pretending selling Minteh is a big deal? We are selling a good young player for financial reasons, like every other big club in the world. Do we need a RW? Yes. Do we need an unproven RW? No. Do we need money? YES.

Ikon Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 (edited) One guy saying he will be the new Mane doesn’t exactly mean that’s the general expectation/viewpoint. He has massive potential! I think he will start slowly but towards the end of the season I reckon he will be pretty damn good. I i get why we have sold him but I also understand why people don’t like it. That’s it.
