Dr.Spaceman Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) If us selling Minteh is the difference between keeping Bruno then yeah, we'd be crazy not to sell. Minteh could yet be the next Demarai Gray or Hudson-Odoi. Edited April 8 by Dr.Spaceman Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure throw in a next sale % and a buy back clause and it’s the perfect deal Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally no - Minteh is all upside based on what we've seen. Could easily see him fetching 40, 50, 60 million quid one day. Chance he flames out sure, but these are the risks we need to be taking as we try to overcome FFP imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 If we keep him and buy a new RW, i'd only sell one of Murphy or Almiron. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep Murphs for versatily, sell Miggy (as much as I like him and if he’s willing to play ball) to SA for a decent fee, get Minteh in as understudy to a new first choice RW would be the ideal scenario I suppose. If finances are stretched and we need to prioritise other positions (center forward and center back spring to mind, perhaps left back and goalkeeper too) then I’d be happy to either give Minteh the chance to make the position his own or loan him out again and go for a number 1 RW.

Whitley mag Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Always hard to judge a player in the Dutch league, but the fact he’s lightening quick should help him convert to the PL easier. Seems to have a knack for dispossessing players high up the pitch as well, which will lend itself to our high pressing style. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Alright @Ikon, you ready for some more..? Willem van Hanegem, Feyenoord legend in his weekly column in AD: Quote People can keep grumbling about Yankuba Minteh, but I'm on the edge of my seat with him," Van Hanegem begins in his column in Algemeen Dagblad. “He defends at the highest pace and he keeps looking for his man.” Van Hanegem does not agree with this criticism of Minteh. “Of course he sometimes makes the wrong choice. So what?”, De Kromme protects the Newcastle United loanee. “At Manchester United, all players make the wrong choices almost the entire match and we pretend that Erik ten Hag just needs a little time,” he concludes. ESPN commentator Kenneth Perez: Quote ''He has developped beyond the roling-the-dice player. He is an example of a player who is so lucky to now be playing for Feyenoord at such a young age. Especially that he met Slot and that he can learn all those tactical things."

I'd get shot of Murphy and keep Almiron unless we got a silly saudi offer for him. Gordon/Barnes on the left and new RW/Minteh on the right with Almiron as a decent impact sub.

Gallowgate Toon Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 Quite a few Feyenoord fans did appear to be absolutely slating him over the winter despite some decent output.

Yeah totally, I don't get why people think selling a talent has much to do with Bruno staying. Bruno is contracted for another four seasons, he only leaves if the release clause is triggered.

Maybe with some more reflection and preparation time he’s now open to such a move. Think that’s our best bet of getting a decent fee. I like Miggy though, so no averse to him staying. Needs to sort out his fitness issues though, but that goes for half our squad at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
