mondonewc Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 He turned down Chelsea last Summer just fyi, maybe he doesn't fancy going to that crazy club (of course I'm in the land of wishful thinking and trying to convince myself there's a small sweat we can get him ) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 I get the impression he's our number one target this season. Just can't see it happening given the other teams involved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiLvOR Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Wow, impressed that we've gone in for him. And you know it's not the old Ashley "we tried" bollocks, we'll be genuinely trying to land him. Still reckon Chiesa ends up here, don't ask me why Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Do think this guy is unreal. Whoever signs him has got a class player for 60m. I'd cry if it's Chelsea like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 1 hour ago, STM said: 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. You’d expect the club to know his attitude or application level though? FWIW it’s gathered nothing but praise from his manager at Feyenoord, and that part of his game has been clearly and abundantly visible by anyone who’s taken the time to see him play. I’d have very little concerns about the mental side of his game. Whether he’s ready to step it up a level is another matter, and definitely one for the club to consider. As for it being as simple as we know we need money for a first team RW, just as there are no guarantees that Minteh will turn out to be a world beater there is no guarantee that a more proven player from say Italy or France will adapt well to the PL and stay fit, so I don’t think your gamble vs sure thing juxtaposition works all that well. Pre-season is only a few weeks away. I say let Eddie have a good look at him and then decide the best way forward. Unless someone offers way over the odds obviously, but to sell for a negligible profit when we may have out long term RW solution already on the books doesn’t seem particularly smart.

Yorkie Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Pointless giving it any thought when Chelsea are involved. He'll obviously go there. They'll offer him the most money, he'll go straight into the team and he will be able to stay in London. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
