Just get Lascelles to bray him on his first day and he'll be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 If he joins now at 18, when he turns 21 will he be a shiny HG eligible player? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good question The rules simply state at least 3 years between 15 and 21 I would assume yes but not seen anything go into more detail than the above Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love how our club is now run, absolutely love it. Brighton turn them into valuable assets, we haven't yet. I'd be surprised if every prem club at least, probably championship as well, don't have young players they've brought in from outside believing them to possible diamonds in the rough.

You'll need a full 3 years so at 18 he needs to stay put. Same for kuol...we won't be able to loan him out again if we want him as HG. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 He's got great feet, pace and power for his age. Other than that looks like he's still got some developing to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
footywithuti Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Hiya, hope you’re all doing well. Here’s a 2-minute video detailing everything you need to know about new signing and wonderkid Yankuba Minteh for those interested. He’s a hell of a talent who has not only been playing week in week out at club level, but is also getting called up by his national side Gambia despite only being 18. As always, I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have down below, have a great weekend! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for kuol...we won't be able to loan him out again if we want him as HG. Is the loan rule not to do with the same association? So we can loan Kuol out to an English side but would be limited to just one loan but then can loan to another country after that if needs be? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonBez comesock Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 We nearly got him in January didn’t we ? I remember the links all over social media We might go in for a couple of these younger types in the window and 3 or 4 established players (potentially £130/£140m outlay!??) I can see us spending 1 x £50m/£60m , 2 x £35m and maybe a £20m player? All with huge potential/suiting Eddie howes philosophy. exciting times….I still think we will be stretched with European football but FFP will mean it will take three or four more windows to get us a squad capable of playing 3 games a week.

Pretty exciting when you look across at Brighton and see the types of youngsters coming through. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wormy Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Right now I'm excited for every signing we make, but I do wonder if there'll come a time when spending a speculative €7m on an 18 year old prospect becomes so commonplace that it doesn't even warrant a thread.

The College Dropout Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 One slight drawback of becoming a top side is... some really talented players might rightly never get a first-team opportunity. At the moment, if we have any eventual PL level footballer in our academy. It's total mismanagement if they never got any game time like a Toney.

Develop and if they are good but not up to where out first team is at that time, sell for a profit as that seems to be the clearest way to boost ffp.

Yep. It's all well and good talking about trying to emulate Brighton, but you imagine the path to our first team compared to theirs is going to be blocked by higher level players.
