He looks shite too Kuol looked alright and appeared for Australia in the World Cup. He hasn't been handled well since he got here though. He probably needs to go back to Australia on loan for a bit.

ewerk 30620 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Not every young player is going to succeed. I’m sure Brighton have plenty that don’t make it. A one in five success rate on young hot shot players would be an excellent return. If you look at the profit Chelsea have made on players who may have only played a handful of games for the first team then you can see how it can be very profitable. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 7295 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 59 minutes ago, Dazzler said: I don't think he would have. I think he was diplomatic and said the right things professionally, but ASM never fit the mould Howe wanted in a winger. Maxi was never going to be happy warming the bench, but he was also never going to become the all rounder winger the manager wanted. For one thing he was too fragile, he couldn't manage more than three starts before breaking down with another injury. Minteh could well be that player but a young kid with ambition probably won't tolerate that for too long either. Of course he didn't fit the mould, never said he did. ASM had his best game for us under Howe (3-3 against Man City with effectively three assists and terrorised their defense). Howe was working with him and ASM was changing the way he played to try to be a more effective distributor. He'd start on the bench but would see plenty of game time when fit. If FFP wasn't in play Howe would have kept him and comtinued to work on his deficiencies. He's only 26 years old, so potentially had his best footballing years ahead of him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kid was never fit, and usually after a Man City performance he'd almost inevitably break down and miss a few games - then you'd get an awful sub appearance, a decent sub appearance, a rubbish start, a decent start and a "Man City" start before the cycle started over. If he could stay fit for a season I'd probably agree that, FFP allowing, Howe would have kept him as a wildcard bench option, but he could never stay fit and that made him outrageously inconsistent performance wise so it made infinitely more sense to cash in, FFP or not. Minteh could be that wildcard option, and has his entire career to be moulded into something more suitable to Howe's system. But I am not convinced. 9 times out of 10 those players that are equal parts exceptional and frustrating remain so for their entire careers.

The Fish 10857 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 Ewerk's right. The plan should be to hoover up loads of talent that we can sell or make use of ourselves. But the aim will be to sell Ashby, Kuol, or Minteh for millions rather than a couple hundred thousand to a Championship team like David Edgar or James Tavernier 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fish 10857 Posted February 27 Share Posted February 27 We've signed a bunch of kids like Heffernan, Hernes, Sahar, Harrison, Sanusi ffor the U21 and U18 squads. These players might make it, might not, but coached well they'll at least be good enough to sell. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
