If he can match Murphy's goals/assists contribution from last season he will have had a good first PL season.

 a bit under appreciated, our jacob.

Probably, like Isak, someone who is out of favour this season because of injuries or just a loss of form. Ferran Torres and Raphinha have been linked, and Torres just came off a two-month hamstring injury earlier this year... Barca would do well gving up some of that forward line of theirs.

According to Keith Downie

We will more than likely sell Minteh this summer.

 

Multiple clubs interested and makes our PSR problem disappear 

 

He wasn’t an Eddie Howe approved signing (it was ashworths)

[gbandit]

Not going to question Howe too much if he does make the sale as there’s obviously a lot of pragmatism to it. However, it feels like it would be a missed opportunity if he’s never even trained with us

Agree. If he doesn't even get a look because he was an Ashworth prospect Howe is being more than stubborn 

[Wallace]

I suppose you don’t miss what you’ve never really had.  Would like him to stay but there has not been an opportunity to develop an emotional attachment so I would not be as devastated as if it was Bruno or Isak etc..

 

Obviously if he went on to be a great player it would be annoying but if in the meantime we buy 2-3 excellent players that progress us a little quicker than might have happened, then I guess it will be worthwhile.  That is what happened with Villa and Grealish and I suppose West Ham with Rice.

[Checko]

I doubt him being an Ashworth signing is a factor in the sale. I imagine these prospect signings are scouting team & DoF territory, rather than the manager.

 

Just seems like an obvious way to make a bit of money - he's had a good season, good stats, if people are interested it opens up the finances a bit and gives us more options in the market. I'd be suprised if anyone is offering the reported 40 million outright though, unless there's a bit of a bidding war. Maybe 20/25 million upfront with some extras and a sell on?

 

There's probably a couple of other guys I'd sell first to make money, but you can't force peope to buy your players.

I guess that's it but it shows how crazy the rules are that you have to sell one to buy 2-3 all in the name of supposed financial stability??

[Big River]

just need to get him in front of Howe for a few weeks. chances are, he'll make the right call.

[ponsaelius]

If you can sell Minteh and Almiron it's nearly all profit given the low fee for the former and the length of time we've had the latter. Could open big CB, RW and ST investment.

[JonBez comesock]

I would like to see him in a Newcastle shirt / pre season 

 

However listening to Keith Downie last night , on Loaded podcast 

 

it appears he could be one of the first to leave !

Aye, can't see Howe scouring the globe looking for talents who after 2 years of loans, will either be an addition to our team or a FFP flip 

[Stifler]

If we sell him then first of all I hope it’s not to another Premier League team, and secondly, I hope we have both a buyback clause/1st option clause, and sell on fee’s included.

Cozier-Duberry in, Minteh out would be excellent business no matter which way you look at it.

Not going to question if you questioned him in your however part of the statement, however didn't you question him in that above statement?

[Likelylad]

It just stinks of him going to the top and us being sat here in 5 years cursing the sale out.

Really? Don’t know C-D, but then looking at his first team experience I doubt any Newcastle fan not in a scouting job would. Minteh has been scoring goals in the CL and his national team. I think it’s fair to say he’s a bit more proven..?

“Not going to question him too much” - translates as I’m not going to shouting from the rafters about it but I will wonder why he didn’t want to see him in training 

[Dr Jinx]

Be a real shame if he got sold as looks a rare talent.

 

There were some mentions of a poor attitude when we signed him first, but haven’t heard anything bad said from season just gone.

 

Just don’t think he’s a Howe type player. 40m would be ok but I think it gets done for less than that, 20-25

[Upthemags]

Selling him for ~30 million PSR profit to turn around and buy a RW just feels off the mark

Thats my exact feeling too. This kid has something.

Why don’t you think he is a Howe type player? All his stats suggest he never stops running and pressing. I always got the impression he would fit right in to our style of play. 

[Kid Icarus]

If the target is Olise then selling him obviously makes sense, no matter how unlikely getting Olise might be.

[The College Dropout]

I'm all in on Minteh lad. Whether he stays or goes - I'm invested.

 

The potential is scary.

Hard to answer this without being completely disrespectful to Celtic, the nation of Seychelles, DRCongo and Gabon. 

 

ACD is seemingly highly rated by Arsenal and us and would be available for free.
