Not to mention the handful of penalties he won for us throughout the season that don't count in the 21. If that don't impress her then it safe to say it's a lost cause. not to worry mate, if he carries on in the same form this coming season I'll shag him instead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asides from the fringe players whose contracts have come to an end, there are persisting stories about us selling Minteh for north of £35m. Other than that I've not heard any rumours. I'm guessing Almiron and Wilson would be available, but not sure who their likely suitors would be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wykikitoon 17871 Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Dortmund want Minteh. I don't know what we should do with him. If someone the likes of Dortmund are sniffing it says a lot. Does he get a chance this season by Howe to show us what he can do? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd sell him to Dortmund for £30m+ with a reasonable buy-back clause? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toonotl 2653 Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 (edited) I would like to see us hold on to Minteh. He's put up impressive numbers for a 19 year old in a top European league. Not that Antony is much of a yard-stick for performances, but in terms of the price there is a comparison to be made. Both playing as wingers and Minteh has scored more league goals in his only season (10) in the Dutch league than Antony managed in either of his two seasons (9 & 8, respectively). And Antony was 22 & 21 in his two seasons, so three and two years older than Minteh during this season gone. I know Antony is whatever. But in reality he's an established Brazil international so that has to count for something. Minteh is outperforming the performances that got a guy full-international status for Brazil and cost ManU 100m at the same time as being significantly younger than him.

Dr Gloom 20510 Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 (edited) of course we should keep him, but we might not be able to because of this ffp bollocks, if selling means we can finances deals for ollise and the other players we have targeted. the sooner these rules are scrapped, the better. it's ridiculous our owners are being told they can't afford to buy and sell who they want Edited June 20 by Dr Gloom 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toonotl 2653 Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 Taking FFP into consideration, which I would assume everyone does when discussing comings and goings by now, I'd much rather we do everything possible to sell several other players before we offload Minteh. There's the added consideration that Minteh is undoubtedly on peanuts compared to offloading the likes of Almiron, Longstaff and Targett. So that's more scope in terms of FFP. Plus we have no European football this season so the squad doesn't need to be as big (in theory). And homegrown players doesn't matter either. It's a good opportunity to shift some dead weight. In any case, like Fish said, if there's plenty of interest in Minteh, then selling with a buy-back clause & sell-on clause and all the other bells and whistles that go with a much sort after teenager should be absolutely put into any sale that goes ahead. It's also worth noting that if we sold him for 35m (or whatever) and bought him back in a few seasons for 70m (or whatever) that would still represent a better FFP position despite paying twice as much to get him back because of the amortization rules.

MrRaspberryJam 513 Posted June 20 Share Posted June 20 It's the whole world against Jim Ratcliffe. Again: Sir Jim Ratcliffe on UEFA blocking Todibo's move to Man Utd: "They've said we can sell him to another Premiership club, but we can't sell to Man Utd. But that's not fair on the player, and I don’t see what that achieves." 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
