I know I might be the minority, but from the clips I saw, I think Minteh has world class potential. He has the tools required to start for any team in the future, he just need playing time to iron it out.

 

We have no choice, but I really wish we could insert a clause, even if it’s something like 70m.

Clips on YouTube from the Dutch league ffs

We somehow got almost 70 million for Minteh and Anderson. We should be optimistic at this point that Miggy is not going to be the starting rw next season.

Said exactly this before...this is Chelsea levels of shadiness and we should be pleased to have pulled it off if we're ever going to disrupt or get involved with the league power brokers

This is a tough one. Players are worth what someone is willing to pay. Minteh did tear it up and was in the UCL. Anderson is a little more of a question as I think he has alot of promise, the league stepping in on a agreed upon transfer between PL teams seems like absolute bullshit tbh.

goodbye sweet prince

[McDog]

Good luck lad!

[r0cafella]

Remember folks, the Pl are going to be blocking these deals

[Pilko]

The rare photo of him in a toon top there having never as much as even played a friendly for us

 

Best of luck to him. Hope he does well but not too well that we regret it.

I’ve read in a few places - deals too close to the deadline may not count, hope there’s no truth in the stories. If so then what’s the point of having a deadline

[Disco]

Genuinely interested to see how good he actually is. Good luck to him, it’s a good move for him you’d think.

For this particular “deadline” it’s an accounting one and not say a transfer window closing. 
 

Either way as I’ve prattled on, they have absolutely no way to block these days at this point. If the league decided to invest new rules without its members voting for them can you imagine the crisis and the lawsuits?

It doesn’t matter. Attributes like pace and acceleration, his style of dribbling, number of touches, vision, ability to pick up teammates run while dribbling etc would apply to any league.

 

He also got a great left foot which doesn’t require much space to hit a powerful shot.

 

Antony’s clip at the Dutch League shows the opposite. Even though he was toying opponents, he didn’t outpace opponents regularly - which becomes his biggest weakness now and makes him one of the worst transfer in history.

Huge surprise that Zero is complaining about the sale. Usually so sunny.

did you really read my posts? I said we have no choice but I feel sad we don’t have a buy back clause. Is that a complain?

We weren’t getting such a clause when we sold for such a premium price. 

[Nucasol]

And so ends the Minteh journey. Must admit I’d have loved to see him given a chance this season but ultimately his sale was needed for the greater good. Credit the club for having the smarts to do a Chelsea/Citeh-esque flip. I imagine we’ll have to get used to this scenario happening more frequently.

[Geordie_once_removed]

If his main position was anything other than RW I would be very happy with this. However as his main position is the weakest in our current squad and he looked a great prospect it does leave a bitter taste.

 

I felt his signing showed real planning for the future with a more established RW signed and then the two of them pushing each other, while older players like Almiron and Murphy moved on.

[Aiston]

Some great performances, he will be missed.

There's no deadline for the Big Six probably...

Aye - i'm keeping my stocks in Minteh and look forward to seeing him play in the PL. I think he has all the playing tools needed to go very far in this game.

 

He's got pace, he looks big at about 6ft. He's quick now, he can get a yard quicker with more strength.

 

Put it this way. He has nearly all the same football attributes as Gordon - quick, tall, carries the ball, presses aggressively. With the added bonus of being better 1v1. Gordon has a better weaker foot mind.

 

He's got the raw technical and physical materials. He's got the eye test (minus the one footed thing). He's got the underlying stats. He's got the productivity stats. Everything that can be measured by sight or numbers - he has - which is why Brighton have signed him for £30m.

 

The rest is mentality, luck with injuries, physical ceiling, technical ceiling etc. that we don't know.

[The Prophet]

Nice finish, woeful defending.

[Ikon]

Nice goal really. Very calm and composed. With his pace he will cause all sorts of trouble. Even quick and good defenders will find it hard against him I reckon.
