Yankuba Minteh (RW) Brighton

Don’t worry, we got Bezos coming in to help boost our commercial revenue in North America and possibly be our main shirt sponsor next season. Thus improving our FFP position massively…:wink:

Minteh played under Slot for a season at Feyenoord. I wonder if he was motivated to push for his signing before he got his P45.

I’m sure you just post shite for the sake of it.

I was bored :rofl:
It tickled me.
Probably sounded better in my head!

One of the most overrated players at the moment.

I quite like Yakuba. Almost as fast as Barcola. Faster than Munoz. Big unit who has bullied us before. Sort of Mane without the finishing yet.

Can also play 9 so Cody can go.

Of course the injury is a wrinkle. A big one.

Him, Barcola, Munoz & Ngumoha is decent depth and pace to burn.

Ornstein on TNT sports. Minteh is a numbers game but we have a back up option (I would assume Mbaye, could be someone else). If we land Barcola Gakpo goes

I suspect/hope Endrick.
The recruitment team have a habit of getting fixated with talents and it’s clear they like him.

More Minteh prop, not long after Ornstein went on the telly and said we have other options in mind.

Fuck sake, Dickie

Can’t wait for him to start a match for us in November.

Yeah I wonder if that break is reflecting some thinking here.

Watched the ScoutNation video to try and get more excited about the prospect of Minteh, still not convinced about him as an attacking player but there were quite a few good tackles, he would probably be one of our better injured right back options were he to join :sweat_smile:

Since we have that international break coming up soon—which has actually been extended—we’ll probably see him back in the squad sooner than it feels like right now. If anyone knows what I mean—I’m looking for a silver lining here :upside_down_face:

I think that’s playing into it.

What’s his injury record anyhow?

Assuming anyone who comes in now misses Newcastle, his injury would see him miss only 4 additional league games. I assume once the CL draw is made there will probably be one or two additional games in that period as well

Yeah there is a league cup game and CL game before the break.

Sounds a bit naive to me. You guys expect him to be back in team training in 4-5 weeks and be ready to go. Without a pre-season (with us)?!

Anyone remember how long it took Isak to finish his ‘personal pre-season’ with us after he came in very late (without an injury)?

Didn’t he have a full preseason with Brighton and only pick up that injury recently in a friendly? Or am I mixing something up? Isak had been training alone for weeks—that’s a difference, after all.

The greater issue with Isak last season was every time he started to look like he was getting up to speed he’d get a minor knock and get set back, before finally getting his leg broken.

Not a guarantee it won’t happen with Minteh as well of course, but I don’t think it would be as bad.
