Sibierski Posted June 7, 2024 Share Posted June 7, 2024 Not sold on Minteh till I see him in a more competitive league. Eredivise is a proper pathetic league, where if you are in a strong attacking side, your attacking output will look far more amazing. If we signed someone for £40m from Eredivise, probably would be a meltdown in here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted June 7, 2024 Share Posted June 7, 2024 Had no idea it'd be towards £40m. Wow. Free money. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's definitely a chance Slot is getting carried away. ten Hag brought what looked like a pretty exciting right winger with him from Ajax. We all know how that turned out.

GeordieDazzler Posted June 7, 2024 Share Posted June 7, 2024 At the end of the day we’re likely to have to sell at some point to continue progressing as long PSR is around and getting 40m+ for a player who’s never pulled on a first team shirt for us would be ridiculous business. Obviously I’d prefer that he’d stay and become a world class winger for us, but if it’s sell him and we get to keep our established world class players then it’s a no brainer. This sort of player trading is exactly what Chelsea and City have grown fat on. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt1892 Posted June 7, 2024 Share Posted June 7, 2024 More chance of getting £20 million for Ashworth than £40 million for Minteh, unless there are add ons on the add ons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jack j Posted June 7, 2024 Share Posted June 7, 2024 People saying ship almiron Murphy trippier etc need to realise that they're all under contract We will struggle to force them out the door if they don't wanna go If the choice was A. Keep Minteh and not sign a right winger and probably upgrade somewhere else or B. Sell him and get 2 starters into the team straight away What would people rather Might be far fetched but if the 40 million rumour is right then I'd imagine we can bring quite a bit in with that coin Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever we had put aside for the RW position can then be invested elsewhere. An attacking trio of Gordon-Isak-Olise would be lethal. But the most difficult thing about getting Olise isn’t his fees, it would be the competition from other teams who would love to sign him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted June 7, 2024 Share Posted June 7, 2024 £40m profit is massive in terms of FFP. It's rubbish from a fans POV to have to think like that but that's the reality we are in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteV Posted June 7, 2024 Share Posted June 7, 2024 £40m would seem ludicrous, surely? No one would be advocating us spending that much on him if we were buying him from Feyenoord. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted June 7, 2024 Share Posted June 7, 2024 It's more important than ever now to be a good selling club. If you want to compete in the current market, maximising value for your assets is the only way, and this is clearly part of the club's growth strategy which is why we've been snapping up young talents to begin with. At the end of the day, £40m for a kid who is unproven in a top league would be extremely difficult to reject. We signed Gordon for that price and he was a regular premier league starter, we paid less for Tino and Hall who had shown they could play at this level too. I'd like to see him get a chance here, but if daft money comes in, we will sell him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufc123 Posted June 7, 2024 Share Posted June 7, 2024 I dont believe the 40m fee at all, but isnt this the reason we bought him? So we can upgrade the team big. City do this all the time. Some will turn out really good at other clubs, but its the way to go. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one would be advocating us spending that much on him if we were buying him from Feyenoord. Antony was £82 million wasn't he? Amad Diallo was between 30 and 40 million euros before he'd barely played a first team game for Atalanta. It's a hefty fee but these days clubs bank on potential - and if you can combine that with genuine output at 19 these kind of fees are basically the going rate. It'd be lower if he was being bought from an Eredivisie club. But he's not - he belongs to a PL club who can set a higher price. And it sounds like £40 million is the one we're setting where we'd reluctantly let him go. Edited June 7, 2024 by ponsaelius Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
