We had a sporting director, who one could argue, put us in this situation. I just think there is so much more to it. I think we all agree that this needs to be avoided at all costs.

Everyone should have known full well why we signed Minteh in the first place.

We can't be putting ourselves in this position again though. On the one hand it's kind of patronising from the club, but on the other when you see the clip of some of the takes (mostly elsewhere) about selling Minteh in the first place you realise it was probably needed.

The Muppet was too busy emailing back and forth with Ratcliffe and his gang to join Man Utd. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s why I said in theory, but Brighton in my opinion have an eye for a talented young player with a high ceiling and able to play in England on the comparative cheap.

Why does it mean he's ready to compete right now? They signed João Pedro last season for around the same sort of fee, and despite being more experienced, even he wasn't starting consistently for them.

KaKa Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 This is probably fitting Minteh ending up at Brighton. Knowing that snake Ashworth he's probably recommended him off the back of some spreadsheet of targets he's copied off their system before he joined us!

Ikon Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 As I’ve said before, I think he will have a slow start and not look ready apart from showing a few glimpses. Towards the 2nd half/end of session I reckon he will prove to be a massive hit. Seems a quick learner. Plus he has that unnatural lightning pace that will help to build up his confidence and in general game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 Do people really believe the club put out stories of Gordon being offered about to soften the blow of Minteh leaving?!😂 Hopefully this is enough, Swiss Ramble’s guess was we needed £40 million in sales.
