[Albion] Yankuba Minteh SINGS on 5 year contract

[Peppermint Tea]

This has a “here we go” vibe.

The Barcode fans on Twitter all seem very sorry he’s going, which is a decent sign…for a decent signing.

There's probably better anagrams but I've got things to do.

Anyway.

A yank in the bum

I thank u, my bean

My Gambian friend loves him. Is convinced he'll be world class in a few years.

My Senegalese mate says he's shithouse.

 

[Barham's tash]

Further to this, he has now convincwed me that this kid is going to be incredible. A harder working, right sided Mitoma with more pace(but currently worse decision making).

I want him!

Sounds like Albert Jarret and he was absolute GAS.

His older brother, Scott, was great for Charlton back in the early 90s.

And his old man, Alan, was a cracking middleweight.

No updates regarding this deal happening. But reading some quotes from a Rotterdam based Newcastle fan, Minteh sounds like a fun, if expensive, signing.

'The main ingredient that Minteh offers is pure excitement. Having sat regularly in The Kuip, you quickly see how Minteh is one of those rare players who instantly gets people on the edge of their seats. When the ball arrives at his feet, you sense a buzz around the crowd, an anticipation that something is about to happen. The pool of players who have such an effect is not a big one.'

Yankuba Minteh - the loanee Newcastle United cannot ignore.

Upgraded version of izquierdo, Twitter believes he is flying into UK today

 

[Safe.]

I live in the Netherlands, used to have a season ticket at Utrecht and am more of a casual follower of eredivisie. But from what I have seen of feyernoords matches in Europe and in the big games, he was definitely one of the live wires and someone who would make something happen. However I have no idea how consistent he is. Dam didn't realise he's only 19, thought he was mid 20's the way he plays.

Sign him up.

Can’t see us spending £30m on him…..

Can’t see us spending £30m on him…..

I’d be alarmed if we spent even half of that. He looks a little uncoordinated and raw. Seems to have just the one trick to get round players and his weight of pass is not consistent. But he does have potential so perhaps the scouts are seeing things we’re not?

Which 19 year-old winger isn't a bit raw?

It is a lot of money but we spent similar on callow Baleba so not beyond the realms of possibility. If we think his ceiling is high, I can see it happening.

 

[Peppermint Tea]

I really hope we buy him for two main reasons:

1. I think he’s got loads of potential and raw pace out wide is just very exciting.
2. Reading the barcodes fans’ theories, if they sell young Yankuba, then they won’t have to sell Isak to the chavs and that makes me happy that, in a small way, we’re f***ing up the plans of those ****s.

Newcastle rate him highly (Ashworth was a big fan) and would be keeping him if not for their financial issues. It’s a lot of money but if he fulfills his potential he will be worth a lot more than what is paid for him.

 

[Not Andy Naylor]

If this goes through then one day we'll be able to field an all-winger front five of Minteh, March, Osman, Mitoma and Adingra.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

Marvellous - I trust you have Enciso and Joao Pedro following in from midfield

 

[saafend_seagull]

Forest in for him now. Swap deal with elanga

Is your Gambian friend a successful, experienced football scout with a track record of spotting world-class talent, or a random football fan?
