I don't know what the issue is with Minteh. People complained Barcola isn't a right winger.
Minteh is.
People complain player X doesn't have Premier League experience or pace.
Minteh has both.
Is he a headline signing? No. Does he have a skillset we currently lack? Yes.
20 Aug 2026 20:36:04
Is he available to play? No.
Does he have an injury? Yes.
Is he fit to train with the team? No.

Some ITK's were hinting at a signing that would get the juices flowing, and excite the fans. Then the name Minteh gets dropped. Talk about a come down.
20 Aug 2026 20:40:59
We desperately need a RW in addition to Barcola, but we should be aiming for a player who at the very least is able to play for us in the next couple of months.
20 Aug 2026 20:41:28
As long as it's both Barcola and Minteh, I'm more than good.
20 Aug 2026 20:42:24
He's injured. What's so difficult to understand?
20 Aug 2026 20:46:52
He hasn't had an amputation, Ron. He'll be back in a month or two. Hardly career ending.
He can get to know all our other gym bunnies.

Are you kidding, we're replacing Salah with this scrub?
20 Aug 2026 20:58:36
1. Barcolas not being brought in to play RW.
2. Minteh is muck, faiir, he has plenty of pace and energy, but there's absolutely no end product.
3. With a total of 7 goals & assists across all competitions last year, exactly what part of that "skill set" are we lacking?
20 Aug 2026 20:59:21
By that logic we may as well sign Antony.
20 Aug 2026 20:59:40
So the great Mo Salah, the Liverpool legend, is being replaced by someone who's currently injured for a third of the season and scored a whopping 3 goals in 34 games last season.
Just get Hughes out.

I think Minteh would b a good signing. Workaholic down the wing, and v good ability with it. Isak's best form came with Jacob Murphy on the wing at Newcastle, not a great player but worked non stop and delivered a lot of assists for Isak's goals with 1st time deliveries.
I don't know the situation as regards injury, that would be a red flag for the time being if he is out for a couple of months as has been reported.
20 Aug 2026 21:06:47
Minteh is not even at a good enough level to play for Newcastle and yet he bid for him??? This transfer business is laughable. When did we turn from transfer market masters to absolute novices. Everyone else seems to able to do rapid business and sign players that actually enhance their squads. Minteh does nothing to our first 11 but does add quality off the bench we absolutely do not have but he won't be match sharp until December if recovery goes well so what's the point?
We've got idiots in our transfer room. its time to get them out.
20 Aug 2026 21:32:00
Reading the posts about Minteh being not good enough for the right wing, ok fair enough. Hence, I would like to hear those good enough for that position that are available for the club should look at.
20 Aug 2026 21:40:46
Harvey Elliot is Premier League proven and works hard. Play him right wing.
20 Aug 2026 21:56:33
He'll recover - what's difficult to understand?
He seems to fit the skill set required to play for AI. I think the biggest problem is that he isn't Salah, which isn't his fault.
If AI wants him then we should stop paying lip service to AI and actually back his judgement.
I assume any contract agreed would be a couple I'd weeks longer than the 2 months or so that he is out (impressed by every man and his dog's understanding of the severity of the injury and the recovery rimes).
I want, I want, I want it now, I want it now... Oh, I don't want that. Good to see everybody getting behind the coach, the team and the club. Gives you a fuzzy, warm glow inside, eh?
