Lots of talk on social media saying we’ve agreed a fee with Danish club Odense for 18 year old Gambian winger, Yankuba Minteh. Fee is said to be £6million which is pocket money these days. He’s a left-footed right winger with plenty of pace and skill.
One for the future, clearly. I’d argue the Danish league is a lot stronger than the Australian league we picked Garang Kuol up from though.
Always good to pick up 3 or 4 of these, if we can get 1 starter out of a few frogs then its all good as long as the club have a decent programme in place to devote time and energy to them.
Aye - looks decent from youtube and stats.
He'll come in and go straight out on loan again.
Good to see business is hopefully being done early though.
Our youth set up will be cream of the crop within the next few years or so. Be great being able to watch some of these lads make a breakthrough and become world class players. Still amazes me what we are becoming under the new owners.
Aye, Jacko, a few years down the line, our squad will, hopefully be a mix of 'marquee' players and the lads we're buying now who will be more than able to hold their own.
We've got a lot of catching up to do because of Fatso's shameful and wilful neglect but, with the owners we have now, I don't doubt that we will, indeed, catch up.
Aye, think the best ranked yourh set ups are not surprisingly the artists formerly known as the previous big 4.
Chelseas and Citys make them a fortune as well.
City netted over £60 million from 3 players that had made a grand total of 3 appearances for them - for example.
Exactly, it's a shrewd business model.Quote:

We're a superbly well run club now. One thing is for sure. We will not be facing any accusations of breaking the rules. Despite all the other 18 clubs adding more and more rules to try and trip us up and stop us from dominating the league.
You know it's funny. Every single fan of every other club knows we are going take over. They know we are going to dominate.
It's got nothing to do with the Saudi riches. It's go everything to do with serious people running the club. Yes of course we have insanely wealthy owners but we are bound by rules same as the rest.
When Chelsea rose from nowhere and the same with City, there wasn't this fear or pessimism or certainty that a club was going to take over quite like there is with us.
That is down to the single truth. Newcastle United, with committed dedicated professionals running the club have something no other team has on earth. The Toon Army. The 12 man that will ensure we smash down all the doors and take our seat at the top of the table.
Look at the people we've brought in to the Executive positions. Ashworth & Eales. In the English game they are peerless.
Ashworth wrote the England FA DNA FFS! Eales literally invented an entire club out of thin air, grew it from $0 to an $850 million franchise!
We targeted Emre, didn't get him. He would have been class. Look at what he's doing at Villa. Brilliant manager suffered from Moyes Syndrome, following Wenger was the poisoned chalice David Moyes drank from following Fergi and the filth.
Signing Eddie Howe was not the 2nd best but an English Equivalent to Emre. However a champion in the making rather than the Europa Serial Winner in the Spaniard.
We all have that feeling that it's WHEN not IF Howe wins us a Trophy.
The entire football fraternity are terrified about us. They are trying everything to stop us. Try as they might, they won't.
E I E I E I O, up the Premier League we go.
When we get to Europe... oh wait, 1st season already qualified for the big show... Bet Yasir Al-Rumayyan gave Sheikh Mansour a call "Salam sheikh, thought you said this football business was difficult' :D
HOWAY THE LADS! YALLA YA HUWEE!
Signed and delievered today.
In and straight out on loan to Feynood - which is a brilliant loan to be honest.
Great move going to play ***y football in Holland. Kuol could do with going over there for a season
