The potential of this guy is very high.

If he reaches the heights we could flip him for £80M.

Exactly the sort of signing we need to make more of.

Here's some data from a Liverpool fan a feww weeks back. Minteh is also linked with Marseille and Roma (:)), so it's by no means a straightforward deal, though the DCL/PSR implications no doubt make us that bit more attractive to deal with.

He’ll go to the shite like that Sissoko

High rated, long contract and potentially a really high ceiling as he joined the game late so hasn’t had as much coaching as a lot of kids his age.

Go back three or four weeks and he was linked with Liverpool for £40m (I guess because of Slot) so £30m isn’t crazy

Feel like I’ve seen Fbref stats mentioned a few times just today but never seen it before. What are we talking about?!

Same, never heard of it, all I can think of is facebook reference.

"Feed the Yank and he will score."

... coz by those stats, he ain't passing it any time soon unless it's into the net.

Be interesting this. There will be a number of clubs in for him surely.

Can’t remember the last time we were linked with a high quality young player, for a position we need, early in the transfer window.

That’s what I’m saying - feels very different this year, like we actually know what we are fucking doing for a change

I dunno.

It feels like a rush to get things done before the PSR deadline.

We might come out of it better but it’s not a great way to build a squad.

I don’t think there’s some sort of long term plan going on here.

Just a load of we’ll sell him, if we can buy him and we’ll all cook the books to beat the deadline.

For me effectively swapping an injury prone striker in the last year of his contract for a young high ceiling right winger is really smart and nothing to do with cooking the books.

I'd imagine it's beneficial from PSR point of view but that's just smart business not short term thinking.

We've by all accounts used the Tim Irrefutablysignedforpsrnam transfer to balance the books for this current period, so we aren't doing business like with selling Richarlison for arguably sub market value. However if we sell DCL for £30m and sign Minteh for the same it clearly enables us to spend money on a DCL replacement as we'd effectively have a good chunk of cash still left over due to Minteh only costing around £6m in the same accounting period.

We've done some dodgy people trafficking to meet PSR requirements for this year no doubt, although think we've got a good deal there because we've got a player we can actually use and develop whilst shifting one we can't and may not ever be premier league standard.

It feels like we're working in a smart and logical way, which feels weird and highly unusual to say when talking about Everton. Long may it continue!
