sushimonster85 Posted June 12, 2024 Share Posted June 12, 2024 5 minutes ago, The College Dropout said: He doesn't seem much of a passer. He's getting on the ball, taking on his man and getting himself into dangerous positions. That might be too heltah skelter for Eddie rn. He seems to work pretty hard too. These were my general thoughts from what little I had seen of him last season. Could be a huge difference maker off the bench, but not sure about his tactical discipline yet.

Might be the odd breakthrough like Sanusi, Harrison or Shahar but it’s not exactly going to be Class of 92 stuff based on what we’re playing currently.

buzza Posted June 12, 2024 Share Posted June 12, 2024 I think a pre-season with eddie would let him know exactly what is expected. If he is up to it, then we have a new and dangerous winger on our hands, hard worker and fast presser a la Gordon!!! Would save us a wedge on buying somebody, fingers crossed he is up to it.

The College Dropout Posted June 12, 2024 Share Posted June 12, 2024 (edited) We need to sign a RW regardless. Pinning a RW spot on a 20yo from Gambia with 2 years playing in Scandinavia and Holland seems a bit daft. It opens us up to other options fro the RW spot. A loan...

buzza Posted June 12, 2024 Share Posted June 12, 2024 I wish we knew a bit more about how much we can spend, all of the conjecture on here is based upon us having miserly sums for outlay... Even a couple of solid bids for wilson, miggy and longstaff would help us create a better picture of what we might be capable of buying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryan Gil If we go down that road, ideally we’d get somebody who could fill both the right wing (first choice) and striker (backup) position, allowing to rest Isak/Wilson (whoever isn’t injured at the time) and give Minteh a few minutes at the end of games. If we think Minteh is good enough to grow into a first team player here we should create some space in the team for him to develop. Knowing Eddie this would probably be a slow process anyway.

You've misinterpreted the context of what I'm suggesting, Klopp would ease in multiple youth each season into his PL sides, it hasn't really failed, Howe threw a whole youth side out against experience in a worthless after season promo game, a game that nobody believed the team should have even been there after a gruelling season. Surely you know this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

JonBez comesock Posted June 13, 2024 Share Posted June 13, 2024 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) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gbandit Posted June 13, 2024 Share Posted June 13, 2024 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 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wallace Posted June 13, 2024 Share Posted June 13, 2024 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Checko Posted June 13, 2024 Share Posted June 13, 2024 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted June 13, 2024 Share Posted June 13, 2024 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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonBez comesock Posted June 13, 2024 Share Posted June 13, 2024 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 ! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stifler Posted June 13, 2024 Share Posted June 13, 2024 (edited) 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.
