Big River Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 17 hours ago, LFEE said: For no other reason than I have a blind spot for him but if we picked this guy up on an incentive based contract I think he could be ideal for our midfield. Times I saw him play (not loads admittedly) I thought he oozed quality. Much better player than Maddison. Guessing he’s a lazy sod… he'd be ideal for the new canteen, not the fucking midfield Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we roll the dice and pray he flops for £13m quid - I’d rather take £13m for almiron who we already know for a certainty doesn’t have the quality to take us to the next level.

Some people are just desperate to get any money in for shiny new signings. he could be a fantastic squad option as he is and so much potential to be a class starter in a year or two and people happy to sell him for what we apparently value Almiron at.

Pablo Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Minteh effectively is a new signing, a prodigious talent who is scoring and creating at every level he has played at. Had an outstanding season in the Eredivisie, and is knocking them in at international level. if we were linked with him for £25m half the folk who want to sell him for £20m would probably be up for it. nothing so queer as folk.

PauloGeordio Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 They’ll be others sold before Minteh re FFP unless the management are convinced he won’t make it (gamble as it is). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SAK Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 (edited) If we do sell Minteh we should stick in a buy back clause. Edited June 13 by SAK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

STM Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Minteh is nothing more than a potentially good player at this point and while that's great, "potentially good" isn't necessarily going to get us back into the champions league. While you can all sit here and say Minteh is 100% better than Miggy or Murphy, the reality is that there is no real substance behind that claim. Of course from a pure technical perspective, he looks the part but we are all grown ups here right? Football is about way more than just someone's technical skill level. We've seen countless talents fail to make the grade because their attitude or application is poor. I'm not saying for a second this applies to Minteh... I doubt even Howe truly knows. What is truly known, is that we need money from player trading and if we get someone come knocking with significant money, you can't blame the club in seeing the value in selling. If you were in their position and you KNEW that 25m for Minteh would finance two key signings... say a CB and a more established RW, are you saying you wouldn't do the deal? I'm just playing devil's advocate here, I've no idea about how good he is or can be but then I'm not the one who's neck is on the line if I make the incorrect call.
