Very weird how we are crying out for a right winger and we have got one that clubs are fighting for but want to sell him, i agree for the right offer but i really hope we have a proper player lined up for that position.

we would ony want to sell him for a massive fee that would boost our ffp standing.

otherwise we may be reliant on offers for ashby, targett, longstaff, miggy and wilson before we spend big.

its not a great situation but it may be neccessary.

I think the issue is that we need a RW now whereas these clubs are presumably looking at Minteh as a prospect for the future.

It's not that weird. We obviously need to sell before the PSR deadline and while we need a RW, he looks very raw and is untested in a major league.

 

Obviously I'd rather not sell (fuck PSR) but it seems no one is banging down the door for out other sellable assets.

He's been brought up at a top flight club in Gambia, moved to a top flight club in Denmark at 18, played a full season in one of the best teams in Holland under the guy who is now manager at one of the biggest clubs in the world and earned his first international start 1.5 years ago.

 

Unless you mean in general for players of his age, what on earth makes you think he has little tactical education with his experience? :lol:

It’s pretty obvious what I meant. Even Arne Slot himself when talking about Minteh a couple of months back said something along the lines of how quickly he has improved his tactical awareness and decision making when in Gambia where he grew up as a footballer they didn’t really focus on any tactics whatsoever so he hasn’t had the same education as other players of his age coming through in Europe where it’s totally different in this department. So he’s had to learn quite a lot in a short period of time but has done it pretty quickly.

if we get an offer close to £20m for miggy or longstaff this sale may never go through.

but thats unlikey to happen.

 

Seems the club were banking on selling Miggy in January, but his move to Saudi fell through.

Terrible sale in isolation. Huge backwards step, but so much going on in the background it's hard to know where this deal sits in the grand plan. 

 

Gutted though. Probably the same feeling Chelsea had with Hall.

I hope it’s Roma or another foreign club and we have at least some type of first dibs on a buy back option. Baffling decision otherwise. 

Every single article that says we’re selling him states we don’t want to but need to for PSR, just wondering - what’s baffling you?

The sooner people accept that deals for players like Minteh, Harrison, Kuol etc are just as much about grabbing assets we think we can flip for FFP purposes as they are getting future NUFC players the better. We’ll be doing a lot of this over the next few years, especially with the way we’ve been aggressively hoovering up young talent to pad out the youth teams. Don’t get attached.

You’d presume selling minteh will mean we can spend up to 60 million in a right forward this summer? I don’t like it one bit but the club must be forced. 

 

If we need to sell Minteh before the June deadline due to PSR, and we won’t have Europe football next season, why would people got their hopes up that we could spend big on someone this summer? We are already in the PSR red zone.

You would hope we have a reasonable buy back/ sell on clause. In that case it’s probably a good solution to tick a few boxes. Young player gets game time in the league, helps PSR and we get either a % of future sale or the option to bring him back.

 

Have to say if I were Minteh I’d be unimpressed with us and generally it’s farcical that we have to act this way.

Yep.  Chelsea still do this despite their income advantage.  This is all perfectly normal.

Find it wild how many people are pinned on Minteh, when he’s not played one single minute. 
 

Teams move players on who don’t play a minute all the time, Brighton with Gyokeres, Man City with Porto and Liverpool with Ayomini to remember a few. Just part of modern day FFP.

Chelsea have essentially created a second business with Livramento having around a 30% or something stupid selling fee and then hoovering up talent to loan out or sell.

We bought him from a Danish club and gave him incredible exposure on loan at Feyenoord.

 

He's going to end up on probably ten times the salary he was on when we picked him up.

 

I doubt he's unimpressed. I'm sure he understands the process.

Coz it will sting having him on our books and he ends up brilliant.
