Sibierski Posted Friday at 14:51 Share Posted Friday at 14:51 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 Friday at 14:53 Share Posted Friday at 14:53 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...

Eveready Posted Friday at 14:57 Share Posted Friday at 14:57 Barnes has a remaining net book value of £30.4m. Even if we sold him for what we bought him for we'd only bank £7.6m profit this accounting period (probably less due to signing bonus and agent fees). There's a reason Minteh is the one being touted as leaving - he's the only one where other clubs see value in closing a deal before June 30th. All of the other players we'd be happy to let leave, we'd still be happy to let leave after June 30th. The likely options are selling Minteh, selling a top player (Bruno/Isak) or failing PSR.

He's gone from being a decent youngster to the next Mane. Hey look, he might, you never know but jeez people talk some complete bollocks. Personally I'd like us to sell him just document the reaction on here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interest from across Europe - Lyon's highest bid of all time, Slot's feeler interest from Liverpool, Champions League finalist interest in the lad - is all because the lad looks like the next Miggy Almiron I suppose Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fezzle Posted Friday at 15:23 Share Posted Friday at 15:23 3 hours ago, Menace said: It's not the worst deal, but it's not really a great deal either. 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. He has 4 goals and an assist in the last 6 and a bit games. He's been fit ages so no idea what this point is outside of needlessly knocking him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think Minteh is being sold off at the 11th hour because our scouts don't find him a prospect? Seems much more likely - maybe even self-evident - that this sale is nothing more than an emergency lever to rebalance the books before breach.

Which is the crucial part. This is likely because any club with a brain knows that we are willing sellers and will wait until they can get the price down later in the window.

Eveready Posted Friday at 15:25 Share Posted Friday at 15:25 Presumably neither Dortmund or Liverpool value him at £40m. Seeing as they know he's available for that price for next ~50 hours and there's not reports of them putting a bid in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it's a fire sale from us. A fire sale of a good prospect. That's all it is. My argument stands: Just because any given club likes the look of a player doesn't mean said player is going to be a star, nor does it mean they won't be. It's an educated guess. Presumably DCL would be an amazing signing, since we are interested in him and all scouts are correct? Can't have it both ways. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't the one who brought up what our scouts think of the lad - seems entirely a non sequitur to the point you're right. The DCL point is just wrong.... Neither Dortmund nor Liverpool, (nor anyone else?), seems at all interested in him. The point I was making with Minteh is that elite clubs (plural) have showed interest, including the ones who were almost the champions of Europe, and a slew of other clubs as well at this point - Brighton and Lyon to name a couple. If you think that's one-for-one with DCL, cheers I guess. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
