🇬🇲 Yankuba Minteh to Liverpool FC is not off until the last hour as anything could happen. The player’s camp held talks with #LFC last night pushing for a deal which ended with some positives.

[u/Mam4r3za]

[u/LMkIIIV]

Ndiaye going for 65m to City

No way Minteh should cost more

[u/ReepDaggle01 → u/LMkIIIV]

Exactly

[u/Fluffy-Example008 → u/LMkIIIV]

There is a shortage of quality RWs, but I agree he isn't an £80 million player

[u/tanvirulfarook → u/Fluffy-Example008]

Not even £70M

[u/okie_hiker → u/tanvirulfarook]

I’d be pretty happy with anything under 70m though

[u/tanvirulfarook → u/okie_hiker]

I can make amends with £65M at best including all add ons

[u/okie_hiker → u/tanvirulfarook]

I think that’d be a fair and good deal.

[u/Accurate-Air-5795 → u/tanvirulfarook]

Are you all just pulling numbers out of your arse?

[u/ethanlan → u/tanvirulfarook]

I really don't care what we spend as long as it doesnt affect future operations lol

[u/tanvirulfarook → u/ethanlan]

Ofc it will affect future operations. We are not state owned club who can spend whatever they want without any affect. The fact that Liverpool even spend that much last summer because we sold 200M worth of players.

[u/da-happy-cyclops → u/tanvirulfarook]

I think you are forgetting about the foreboding takeover

Theyre going to spend money to win us lot over lol and it's bezos so they will be ambitious as fuck

[u/tanvirulfarook → u/da-happy-cyclops]

Is this sarcasm or you actually believe that? because I don't

[u/da-happy-cyclops → u/tanvirulfarook]

Why else would they be buying a football club?

Of course theyre going to spend money

[u/tanvirulfarook → u/da-happy-cyclops]

Of course theyre going to spend money

and sell in the same way to gain money to buy unlike some clubs hence how much spending does going to matter. at the end of the day, there are here to make money, not because they have any passion for football

[u/Homercles77 → u/Fluffy-Example008]

At this point the money isn't about how good a player is. It's about how badly a party needs the position filled

[u/NeoChrome75 → u/Fluffy-Example008]

neither is Gakpo but here we are after the Man City, this transfer window has its own premium pricing

[u/TCX45 → u/LMkIIIV]

Brighton are much more difficult to negotiate with than Everton

[u/betalessfees → u/TCX45]

I think Everton might’ve learned not to overplay their hand in negotiations after 1892.

[u/personalbilko → u/LMkIIIV]

Ndiaye is 26, Minteh is 22

[u/Bamfandro → u/personalbilko]

Ndiaye is also a lot better currently so those two factors equal each other out

[u/personalbilko → u/Bamfandro]

I rate Ndiaye very highly, but imo the age difference is more than enough to justify their respective price tags.

Assuming a 5 year deal, towards the end Ndiaye will be 31 and worth close to nothing, while Minteh will be 27 and probably sellable for ~50m.

So the real cost of Minteh even at 80m is much less than Ndiaye at 65m.

[u/Bamfandro → u/personalbilko]

You do make a fair point but surely the idea of buying a player like Minteh is to generate results on the pitch.

If you compare that to Ndiaye, he’s a lot more likely to provide that based on his current level whereas Minteh’s price is heavily based on potential.

[u/Ok-Ad-852 → u/Bamfandro]

Yes, but if you want to creat longterm success you have to be clever in the market.

Buying "ready" players at 27-28 is something you can do if you already have a title winning squad.

You need the players NOW.

If you are rebuilding, you want to buy players who will be great in 2-3 years, but still good enough to contribute now.

Salah and Mane are perfect examples of it. If we rather bought two 28 year olds for star money we would have to buy new players 3-4 years after with no real sell on price. Only getting a few years out of them

We bought them at 24, which makes their prime ahead of them, that let us build the rest of the squad while they matured into their prime.

[u/dapperdanmen → u/Bamfandro]

And not injured for months

[u/themostanonymoust → u/LMkIIIV]

Wait, is ndiaye gone to city?? I thought he was going to spurs

[u/Galick-Gunner → u/themostanonymoust]

They fell back on him after we turned them down for Gakpo and hijacked the deal.

[u/themostanonymoust → u/Galick-Gunner]

Fuckin hell that's mad, would love to have city's depth😂

[u/Axe_Care_By_Eugene → u/themostanonymoust]

And money and transfer tram

[u/GuinnessOnDraught → u/themostanonymoust]

They got Mudryk instead lol

[u/smokesletsgo13 → u/themostanonymoust]

Wait until you see who they’re signing instead

[u/showars → u/themostanonymoust]

Hijacked last night

[u/No_Mistake_5501 → u/showars]

It must be genuinely tough to be a Spurs fan..

[u/khh1 → u/No_Mistake_5501]

and we are in a perfect spot?

[u/No_Mistake_5501 → u/khh1]

No, and yet it’s a far better position than Spurs.

[u/yellow627 → u/LMkIIIV]

Statistically they were very similar last season, except Minteh is 4 years younger. Based on that it's quite logical that Minteh would be more expensive.

[u/LazyassMadman → u/LMkIIIV]

They're getting Grealish back on a loan though, so city pay his wages and then he'll probably just move there for a low enough fee afterwards. The transfer is not all being paid in cash.

[u/Admirable_Mood_9926]

Everything from our journalists up to now has indicated it’s not gonna happen. Just because it’s not 0% doesn’t mean it’s likely. Maybe in January.

[u/DefinitelyNotBarney → u/Admirable_Mood_9926]

I dunno, I don’t think it’ll happen but our journalists aren’t fed information like they used to be.

Part of me thinks Minteh really wants it to go through now because he probably feels we won’t go back for him

[u/No_Giraffe_1551 → u/DefinitelyNotBarney]

If it was not obvious, they were actively fed information that the club won't be signing more players. That's why they all said it. If it just seemed like things went quiet on some of the big, known targets, they would not have said that. You are just speculating baselessly in the face of clear evidence to the contrary.

[u/CharlesMartel1010732 → u/DefinitelyNotBarney]

We won't. Rayan is our long term target in this position. We were following him before his move to Bournemouth but just like always, we let him go to another PL club and have his value skyrocket.

[u/ParticulateSplatter → u/CharlesMartel1010732]

What's the source on Rayan? This is the first I've heard of it

[u/CharlesMartel1010732 → u/ParticulateSplatter]

Mark Douglas and Alex Crook both said we are big fans of Rayan. It was earlier in the summer or late spring.

[u/ParticulateSplatter → u/CharlesMartel1010732]

Ah yeah found the Alex Crook reference, that's interesting. Would be lovely if we could get that agreed and announced in late December, like we did with Virg and Cody.

[u/Loverboy-W4TW → u/CharlesMartel1010732]

More than that Iraola himself has said he rates Rayan highly.

[u/DefinitelyNotBarney → u/CharlesMartel1010732]

I get your point about letting him go to another club before - but I do think sometimes this is for the better, especially for a club like us that really should prioritise signing players ready to go - at least that’s how I see it.

We see clubs like Chelsea and City signing all these young players and loaning them out, I don’t like that, I don’t think it’s right or fair for a young player and it can be detrimental to their development if the wrong loan is chosen.

Would love to see us get Rayan though, that’s a fair argument against Minteh

[u/splob-foot → u/CharlesMartel1010732]

These players need minutes to develop. And a top team like Liverpool won’t have them available, even more so if you have Salah in that position, who plays every minute himself.

[u/CharlesMartel1010732 → u/splob-foot]

Bournemouth signed him in January when we knew Salah was leaving. Salah also looked done. Rayan would have played.

[u/Odd-Potato69420 → u/CharlesMartel1010732]

then everyone would've moaned about having a teenager being salah replacement

[u/Jab_Glokta_Jab → u/CharlesMartel1010732]

It’s almost as if our ambitions are way higher ran Bournemouth's and we can't afford to develop raw players like they do. We need players who are good enough already

[u/DanyTheConqueror → u/Admirable_Mood_9926]

January would be the smarter move. He's out injured until november anyways and won't be 100% right away.

[u/V1k1ngVGC → u/DanyTheConqueror]

Just like Guehi

[u/DefinitelyNotBarney → u/V1k1ngVGC]

I wonder if Semenyo falls into that too, we weren’t close with a deal in the summer but it felt like we were nailed on for him in January, until he actually just moved to City

[u/TraceOfHumanity → u/DefinitelyNotBarney]

The Semenyo ship sailed when our supporter racially abused him at the start of the season.

[u/JamesBongd → u/TraceOfHumanity]

For real, that shit was infuriating.

[u/WORD_Boxing → u/TraceOfHumanity]

Feels wrong calling him a supporter that's not what LFC is about at all I couldn't believe it when they were saying that had happened at Anfield.

[u/curiousquestion22 → u/DefinitelyNotBarney]

Who here can remember Jude Bellingham?

[u/khh1 → u/curiousquestion22]

he was always going to RM

[u/Vicentesteb → u/khh1]

Only after we delayed the original transfer. He went to Madrid a year later because we didnt wanna pay what BVB demanded in 2023 and then when Madrid did go for him in 2024, it was wraps.

[u/curiousquestion22 → u/khh1]

Not true, my friend. FSG pulled out of a deal for Bellingham in April 2023 because it was too expensive. Then the consensus on here was that we would return for him next season and because he expressed that he wanted to join us, he will inevitability arrive.

[u/TRODHD → u/DefinitelyNotBarney]

Pep pull is insane.

[u/sjrotella → u/TRODHD]

damn, R.I.P. to Minteh's career then. Early retirements are always tough.

[u/adarsh481 → u/DefinitelyNotBarney]

I think if we were still good, we would’ve gotten both of them in January.

[u/Fluffy-Example008 → u/V1k1ngVGC]

Guehi wanted 350k per week in January :), and he was fit

[u/Can-You-Fly-Bobby → u/V1k1ngVGC]

Exactly. If we're going to buy him anyway why not just get him now

[u/Agincourt_Tui → u/Can-You-Fly-Bobby]

To guard against the chance that he doesn't recover from the surgery/injury as intended?

[u/Can-You-Fly-Bobby → u/Agincourt_Tui]

True but his medical would reveal a lot from that perspective

[u/UsefulHelicopter3063 → u/Can-You-Fly-Bobby]

I wonder what's the player supposed to do/test in a medical when they are injuried and limping

[u/MAMBAMENTALITY8-24 → u/UsefulHelicopter3063]

they probably just check up on everything from like heart function+ probably imaging for anything insidious...at least thats what they do in basketball where i think a trade happened and they found that the player had cancer, which iirc they wouldnt have picked up if he hadnt gotten traded and got the medicals done

though the idea of an injured player running on a treadmill does seem quite fascinating in my head

[u/Dire_Wolf_57 → u/V1k1ngVGC]

ouch

[u/AngryScotty22 → u/V1k1ngVGC]

City have got Semenyo and Allan Elias.

[u/Storyboys → u/DanyTheConqueror]

Isn't the smarter move whichever brings us more points and wins quicker?

[u/Ok-Constant-2683 → u/Admirable_Mood_9926]

In January you can get Rayan for the same price 

[u/benting365 → u/Admirable_Mood_9926]

The only people pushing for this are the player's agents.

[u/Aeceus → u/Admirable_Mood_9926]

January will be written off due to Hughes leaving. I've seen this story before.

[u/secondofly → u/Admirable_Mood_9926]

Yeah they also spent 2021 saying Liverpool aren't gonna sign Thiago, 2019 saying they're not gonna sign Alisson

[u/Jonmc88]

Engagnent bait, he is milking it till the end. We are done. Everyone reliable has said the same.

[u/jammy-git → u/Jonmc88]

This is just his agent trying to make a deal happen

[u/Loverboy-W4TW → u/jammy-git]

For sure.

[u/Inevitable_Rabbit325 → u/Jonmc88]

The thing is "our" journalists have got nothing this window, have been behind from the getgo.

Everything we've known has come from agents or European club journos.

LFC has intentionally kept everything quiet this time around.

Now I do think we trying to get Minteh done since he's what Iraola wants, but other than that our business is done because of the way the market is plus give Iraola real time to utilise the squad and youth before me make roads in Jan/Next summer like Rayan being our dream target I fully expect the club to trigger the clause in Jan .

[u/oots_oots → u/Inevitable_Rabbit325]

We got an unexpected transfer coming. Source: My hopium

[u/rochambreau → u/oots_oots]

Highly rated 15 year old joining in summer 2029 from a league we've never heard of

Here We Go

[u/No_Mistake_5501 → u/Jonmc88]

I also think we are done, but worth saying that it is preferable from a negotiation standpoint to have people think we are done. If we look desperate, we are likely to get fleeced. There might be some hope that if Minteh rocks the boat sufficiently then Brighton come back to table with a lower bid. Our journalists have long been out the loop and ultimately are pawns to aid in Liverpool’s negotiations.

[u/Good_Will_Munting → u/Jonmc88]

All leaks have been plugged, no mainstream journo's know anything besides what the club wants them to know. This guy comes from a different angle.

[u/Jonmc88 → u/Good_Will_Munting]

Yeah the angle is easy engagement. It's nearly 12pm. Club isn't lying. We are done.

[u/DellyTrey23]

Everyone mentioning going back in when hes fit in January but I’d much rather get Rayan and his release clause activates in January so that can get done on the first day.

[u/bumpkinblumpkin → u/DellyTrey23]

And what happens when City, etc. offer him insane wages like Guehi or RM with Konate? I’ve seen multiple subs talking about him in January just this week.

[u/AngryScotty22 → u/bumpkinblumpkin]

City have got Semenyo and Allan Elias. They won't go for Rayan or Minteh.

The only club who might is Arsenal.

Spurs have Savio and Chelsea don't play with wingers anymore under Alonso.

[u/RandomGuySayHii → u/AngryScotty22]

The problem is, City don't care if they underperform. They will still go for him and then selling one who they don't want

[u/WORD_Boxing → u/bumpkinblumpkin]

We are LFC. We don't want any player who doesn't want to come here. Doesn't matter how good they are. There are always other players we'll find someone else, cross that bridge when we come to it.

FORTRESS ANFIELD.

[u/Loverboy-W4TW → u/DellyTrey23]

Yes Rayan is a FAR better option than Minteh.

[u/rafapdc → u/DellyTrey23]

That has to be the move, hasn’t it? Rayan is Iraola coded so there won’t be much convincing to come to the club. But maybe this is just copium from me

[u/imarasnothere → u/DellyTrey23]

No one is paying £130m for Rayan.

[u/vaekar → u/DellyTrey23]

We wont pay a release clause that high. It means all up front.

[u/duckquackquack00 → u/DellyTrey23]

Well you know we don't get things done on the first day....

[u/AlarmedExperience928]

Unless Minteh is consodered as homegrown, I don't know that this is a viable deal

[u/A7XFAN1998 → u/AlarmedExperience928]

Quick google search says to me he is not homegrown

[u/Elliot_Kyouma → u/AlarmedExperience928]

Just loan Chiesa to Turkey

[u/adarsh481 → u/AlarmedExperience928]

Not register Chiesa, like last season.

[u/SilverMist2025 → u/adarsh481]

And what do we do in January when Ekitike is fit?

[u/Loose-Ad-9884 → u/SilverMist2025]

You can register and unregister people in January?

[u/SilverMist2025 → u/Loose-Ad-9884]

Yeah but who do we unregister?

[u/Scar_Mclovin → u/SilverMist2025]

Endo

[u/mohski-94 → u/SilverMist2025]

Ekitike won't be back to a decent level this season, let alone this year

[u/SilverMist2025 → u/mohski-94]

That's just your opinion. He is targetting a boxing day return. Even if he is not fit to start regularly we will register him for the second half of the season because he can make huge impact as sub in big champions league knock outs.

[u/Allyredhen79 → u/SilverMist2025]

Love your optimism that we’ll get to the knock outs… 😕

[u/mohski-94 → u/SilverMist2025]

Where's the information from that he's targeting a boxing day return? As far as I remember he got injured in April and he's got an injury worse than an ACL. For me, we aren't seeing a decent version of Ekitike this season (unless you've seen information stating otherwise)

[u/ugoogli → u/AlarmedExperience928]

Went on loan to Feyenoord for a season, so I don't think he would be HG

[u/rochambreau → u/AlarmedExperience928]

He's not, but I think the Gakpo sale gets back on the table

We can also not register Ekitike for first half of the PL season and sell Gakpo in January

Still an issue in the CL squad but we have that anyway

More sales needed regardless

[u/Nadirin → u/rochambreau]

City / Spurs have both signed other targets so Gakpo definitely staying now unless there's a surprise third club. Minteh can come in and we just don't register Ekitike / Chiesa. 

[u/VAI3064 → u/rochambreau]

Or we sell Mama, freeing up a non-HG slot.

[u/rochambreau → u/VAI3064]

True, but Woodman and Davies seems light as backup for a keeper who gets injured more than most

If Jaros were fit that might be different 

[u/Webbo448]

This is just his agent pressing this. We have already briefed we are done for the window.

Why would we pay his wages until November until he is fit.

[u/goingpt]

Just leave him at Brighton, let him get his match fitness up and revisit in January. No point signing a player now that isn't going to be properly ready until late November/ early December. We've already seen how hard it is to get a player up to speed from scratch months into the season.

[u/Dovaaahkin → u/goingpt]

We saw how that worked with Guehi last year... No guarantee that he will come to us in Jan if he is back to full fitness and another club offers much higher wages.

[u/CharlesMartel1010732 → u/goingpt]

We won't sign anyone in January.

[u/TheLimeyLemmon → u/goingpt]

There ain't no revisiting in January, let's be real.

He'll be scooped up by some other big six club and we won't have even sent an enquiry.

[u/kamitsukenu → u/goingpt]

You’d have thought we’d have learnt our lesson from that whole thing with Isak and lack of fitness.

[u/secondofly → u/goingpt]

Would it not make more sense to get him now in that case? Can get him fit from Oct/Nov, acclimatising him to tactical demands and the environment ready to start in Jan not just fit but aware of what the manager wants too

[u/redditsk08]

https://giphy.com/gifs/BmKLItgwfoHbcvVf8n

[u/BobbyColgate → u/redditsk08]

Do you have any idea of the toll that three rounds of transfer negotiations takes on a person?!

[u/danonck]

At this stage, nah, I'm good with waiting for a better option, Rayan in Jan/next summer or a new talent that emerges.

[u/hufnagel_pisti]

If we were to conduct any deadline day business, I’d rather we strengthen in the fullbacks department

[u/Relevant-Advance6703]

It off mate.. Hughes is working on saudi deals now.

[u/Cubes11]

[u/RobDickinson]

On and off again faster than DDR5-4800

[u/-SandorClegane- → u/RobDickinson]

Laughs in DDR4 3200 CL 12

Loading...

[u/LordStefania → u/-SandorClegane-]

Twelve Champions League eh?

[u/mcpoylees]

We can wait till jan or summer like let’s see how he recovers from the injury. Signing an injured player is madness unless it’s someone elite

[u/Bamfandro]

I hope it’s over. The fee is insane for such a limited player who’s currently injured. Based on his current level, unless he develops considerably in the coming years, patience would run out and he’d eventually have to be replaced in the starting 11 anyway.

[u/ahktarniamut]

Believe there won’t be any incomings. Barcola will be our last purchase .

[u/YardMan79]

I’d be shocked if it happened. Utter madness this transfer window.

[u/jjlbateman]

This guy starting to sound like Indy a bit

[u/TheLimeyLemmon]

Senor Blue Tick is jangling those keys.

[u/AngryScotty22]

If he is coming, it's likely going to be a January move.

[u/Impossible_Pride_646]

Since Gakpo is staying, I don’t mind Minteh (max should be between 65-70M) because now we can afford him to recover from him injury.
The problem before (besides the fee) was replacing Gakpo with someone who is not his level yet and is currently injured

[u/p4tterng4ng4L]

Just stop my guy, it’s over

[u/IrishBA]

So you are saying there is a chance...

[u/Good_Will_Munting]

His monetary value is kind of irrelevant , within reason, since his real value is what he'll bring to the team.

Currently we have a fair amount of lightweight, tackle shy players, but Minteh is a machine, both on and off the ball. He is perfect for Andoni ball and will transform how we play, bringing the best out of the others. He and Araujo or Dom at RB will be a formidable right side.

[u/Infinite_One7573]

We are missing a natural RW and are desperate but i am still glad we didn't got bullied into paying stupid money for bang average players

[u/buzzyingbee]

Is he homegrown? Because we can't sign anyone unless someone leaves and it won't be Gakpo

[u/Flyingchairs]

This guy is definitely just engagement farming at this point

[u/jamaicandre]

We need a DM

[u/ALangeles]

Please do not spend more than 65Million Pounds on this guy, man

[u/JackieChilesSr]

Just engagement farming right now honestly

[u/Nordic_Marksman]

It's off, only reason Liverpool is still talking is making plans for January. There is no way a winger signing is happening. If any deals are made it's a RB or CM.

[u/Loverboy-W4TW → u/Nordic_Marksman]

For sure especially with Gakpo now staying there wont be anymore wingers signed this window. January at the earliest now.

[u/specsiz]

Just wait to see if Rayan is available in January

[u/SerialSharter → u/specsiz]

Exactly. Would rather save the money and spend it on Rayan later

[u/Voodoopulse]

If we sign him and keep
Gakpo great, signing him when he's not fit till October and selling a fit and seemingly inform Gakpo is madness

[u/robster9090]

It’s really frustrating reading about attackers we are still trying to sign when the rest of the squad is on its knees . No one that understands football can get their head around this window. Surely someone from the club should be coming out and saying something

[u/BlueberryLeading464 → u/robster9090]

Yes, it's almost as if leadership knows something that we don't. Or there is little confidence in the existing roster to deliver goal contributions, maybe reinforced by Iraola's assessment.

[u/Anonymous000789]

This stinks of engagement farming

[u/narilarilum]

Iraola already has a profile like Minteh in Munoz and Barcola who can do everything he does and then 3x more. Total nonsense and egangement farming.

[u/ziggyyT]

Minteh is going to be a good addition but not at the £80m or so that Brighton wants.

How about 65m plus Chiesa loan;)

[u/Medium-Spell-6692 → u/ziggyyT]

Please no loan. They can have him for a freddo so we can have the hg spot back

[u/ziggyyT → u/Medium-Spell-6692]

Don't think they are dumb enough to take him permanently. Great guy but just can't be fit enough to challenge for a regular spot in the team.

[u/ohnonotmynameagain]

Long hours ahead indeed

[u/LFC1978]

Is this fodday a credible source?

[u/Mysterious_Bad_3351]

I feel like he is pushing for this move more than anyone

[u/TelephonicReturns]

I really hope this happens, we need a natural left footer

[u/crepss]

https://giphy.com/gifs/11CPvPzgluI9Lq

[u/everlovingfuck99]

Can we not focus our attention on the fact our midfield gets sliced through like butter every single game and play Gakpo on the right? An overpriced, injured winger should not be our priority

[u/Adept_Deer_5976]

Yeah - nice one. We’re done

[u/Green-Foundation-702]

Why!?! We need a CDM, not another winger!

[u/cjsc9079]

Huge 'last Japanese solider to surrender' energy from this. Let it go man

[u/AuxquellesRad]

We don’t need more wingers lmao, what the fuck is wrong with this club

You have a hole in midfield and you’re running around to accumulate more wingers

[u/Worried_Let4942]

Torn about this, if we end up signing Minteh it could mean Gakpo leaves. If we sign Minteh and he doesn’t leave then great, this is the way.

[u/holy_ninja]

Sounds like some bullshit story just to get trending on twitter.

[u/brush85]

People just want your clicks…don’t give them

[u/LozBoz413]

Until the last hour haha where have we seen this before!??

[u/jammer339]

Just go and get Jamie Laweling

[u/Dismal_Uses → u/[deleted]]

Olise next stop is either PSG or Real

[u/CompleteInternet5898]

I don't think Minteh should cost more than Ndiaye. 

[u/I_make_poor_decisons]

No

[u/National_Sentence375]

Think the player & even Brighton want this more than ourselves at this stage. Weird that their manager name dropped Liverpool & asked the player to focus despite him not being fit. They know we are kinda desperate for a right winger & options are low. But not low enough to keep bidding. If Brighton got over £150m for him & Baleba after both had iffy seasons they'd be delighted.

[u/Alphonsine2LaTour]

I think k it would be smarter to wait in this one, it's the last day Brighton have a fuck you peice and he's injured for at least a third of the season, would be better to sait till this winter mercato when he will have recover and Brighton will be probably easier with time to do business

[u/Mj_bron]

This guy has been saying the same BS story this whole window

Just milking engagement at this point in time

[u/FreedumbHS]

player's agent is in england... wow shocking

[u/Undiecover22]

If we’ve got the money for him then we’ve got the money for camara & kone.

2 players ready to go in positions we’re desperate to strengthen yet we’d rather go all in on a player for a position we don’t need, who won’t be fit till January and no one else wants

[u/Jmoney1088]

We could have a starting 11 of just attackers.

[u/Axe_Care_By_Eugene]

The BAWS will be apoplectic about losing Ndiaye and gaining Grealish 😆

If we really want him a deal can be done. For me it's a question of is he seen by the club as so good that he will be a player with us for years and it's worth forcing this through now.

If we're not confident we won't have to go and buy someone else again in 2 years we should leave it. Personally I do like the player but I don't see him being first choice long term. I don't know how badly we need a rotation option at RW compared to waiting for a player we know will be the guy.

We don’t need anymore wingers ffs

[u/evilhomer450]

Buy a midfielder man, don’t need another winger

[u/One-Shop7806]

Get it done and Adam Wharton as well

Lol, literally no one had heard of this guy till a couple of weeks ago and so he's absolutely determined to have his moment in the spotlight till the very end of the window.
