STM Posted June 28, 2024 Share Posted June 28, 2024 (edited) If we could get 10/12m and DCL that would be a good deal. Means we've strengthened our forward area and given ourselves scope to sign more players. Of course I live in a world where DCL isn't the devil incarnate and Minteh isn't the messiah.

KingArthur Posted June 28, 2024 Share Posted June 28, 2024 I would guess Odense will take a chunk on the Minteh fee aswell? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

catlover24 Posted June 28, 2024 Share Posted June 28, 2024 Sell Minteh for money with buy-back and sell-on clauses. Then take time to look for a replacement instead of being saddled with a swap that might not work out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're essentially hoping that DCL can get up and running again where as it seems a lot of clubs are fans of Mintehs potential. Somehow I think we will look back at this and think we should have kept him. A few things give a clue to Minteh's potential. A video where he showed good finishing ability, albeit that is subjective and highlight videos can only tell you so much Arne Slot rates him and was sniffing around, that gives you first hand knowledge Lyon have bid big money for him although the £40m mentioned seems ridiculously high He's actually played CL football and done well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's younger, has better fitness record (albeit not great) and if Howe can reignite his previous form, a very good striker and an able deputy to DCL. There's no world where we should be keeping Callum Wilson. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joey47 Posted June 28, 2024 Share Posted June 28, 2024 Hypothetically if we wanted to do a straight swap with Everton, could both clubs not just buy each player for 30M. The sales would be profit and they could be bought amortised. That would theoretically give both clubs a significant boost to PSR wiggle room?

kingxlnc Posted June 28, 2024 Share Posted June 28, 2024 Minteh has been compared to Sadio Mane - both on the eye test and on the data. Bona fide wonderkid. That means he could develop into a beast of a striker, who finishes. All that while operating from our weakest position, RW. A Salah, a Palmer, a Saka. These are obviously the best in the PL and this is all hopeful hype. I would prefer we let either or any of the following leave for PSR (providing replacements are sourced before the season starts): Longstaff Anderson Wilson Targett Trippier Dubravka Lascelles Krafth Almiron Murphy Burn Willock Lewis Hayden Pope Kuol Ashby The only untouchables for me: Bruno, Isak, Botman, Gordon, Barnes, Tonali, Miley, Kelly, Hall, Livramento, Schar Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sibierski Posted June 28, 2024 Share Posted June 28, 2024 Minteh potential rising every day. Why aren’t PSG in for him? I mean, even Jahanbakhsh smashed it in Eredivise and was a wet blanket in prem because defenders were better and didn’t allow it so easy to just cut inside. Minteh needs to play elsewhere before he’s cemented as a legit talent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The downside is that they are older and more expensive for us to keep as well despite not being good enough. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted June 28, 2024 Share Posted June 28, 2024 Or we just bought a load of rubbish consistently under Ashley with the odd good player once in a while and we still haven't changed the overall value of the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
