Unbelievable Posted June 30, 2024 Share Posted June 30, 2024 7 minutes ago, tarie4 said: The majority of individuals would likely express concerns regarding our excessive financial commitment and emphasize the league's current financial difficulties. It is crucial to address our urgent need for an experienced and accomplished right winger. Failure to secure a position in the Conference League, at the very least, may result in the departure of key players such as Isak and Bruno. From a strategic standpoint, it would be prudent to consider selling this player for a sum of 33 million rather than risk losing our star players. It is highly probable that he would have been loaned out once again during the upcoming season. Brighton operates as a selling club and is content with its current position in the football hierarchy. They can anticipate finishing in 12th place next season without significant consequences. However, if we finish in 7th place once more and miss out on European competition, our top player may seek a transfer. Players such as Gordon, Botman, Isak, and Bruno have consistently emphasized the club's ambition and direction as primary factors influencing their decision to join. Consequently, I would advocate for the sale of any player within reach to retain these individuals. I fully agree, but fail to see the relevance. I believe selling Minteh for 33m was the right thing to do all things considered. That’s not to say I don’t think he can develop into a player we may look back regretting to have had to sell.

Just that he seems a very talented lad who could well become one of the best in his position over the next few years. I don’t think that’s an outrageous statement considering the clubs after him and the fee he’s commanded…? Considering the clubs - is that Everton or Brighton?

Armchair Pundit Posted June 30, 2024 Share Posted June 30, 2024 For £33m, I wonder if that's low enough to expect a sell-on clause. It's a shame and one completely brought about by an unfair, rigging of the system, but I guess it's for a player who we've never had play for us, so hopefully we'll never miss what we've never had. Still a bag of wank that we had to sell him though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I care about NUFC here and now. We need to invest in our current first team, we can do that now. Apparently, thinking like this makes you head in the clouds positive. What we should all do is continue to complain about losing the player, and make out that this means the club has done a terrible job of managing things. Bear in mind the window has barely opened, and we are yet to see what kind of business is done with incomings. When we start making signings and we see how the team looks once the football starts, then we'll see how strongly that all holds up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted June 30, 2024 Share Posted June 30, 2024 It’s staggering how many academy players that Man City have sold in the past decade. Some have become decent players; others haven’t amounted to much at all. Man City have consistently used the funds generated from those sales to buy quality first-team players. Cole Palmer could turn into the next CR7, but Man City will have won the league another half dozen times in the meantime. And they’d be able to buy him back anyway!

All well and good if you actually have a decent player in that position in the first place. No problem flipping prospects then but our RW position is rank. I hope we do buy someone with the proceeds in the next few weeks. Edited June 30, 2024 by OverThere Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously guys, can yous not read..? This is like City selling Phil Foden at 19. Minteh is meant to be good enough for where we want to be in a couple years. It’s not like selling James Trafford who would be on the bench for as long as Ederson is around. At 19, during the 2019/20 season, Foden participated in 38 games across all competitions, contributing 8 goals and 9 assists. The team finished as the second-place league finishers and went on to win the league the following year and have maintained their success since. While it may be challenging to make direct comparisons between players in different contexts, it is worth considering whether Yankuba could potentially surpass Almiron in the team's pecking order during the upcoming season.

If it was Brighton selling a player for 5x what they paid for him people would be saying it's cracking business and how well run they are. When it's Newcastle suddenly 'questions need to be asked' and the club don't know what they're doing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
