Transfer Rumour Yankuba Minteh

[jamieni]

If he's smart he should get right on it and start bad mouthing us in the Belgian press before he's even signed

“I’m signing for Everton but, of course, in football anything can happen….” and so on

 

[catcherintherye]

Hadn't heard of him before we were linked.

Looks like has some pace/creativity which clearly we're desperately missing.

But you always have to take any video compilations with salt - a bucket load when it's a player at PSV/Feyenoord.

I had in a sense that he had very good numbers. Its 1 season though, and in the Dutch league, which is maybe at championship level. So some caution needed.

Didn’t they win the league though?

To win that league and not be PSV or Ajax is a feat in itself - and if he wa da major part of that, he’s got to be worth the risk.

How does everyone seem to know so much about a player I hadn’t heard of until yesterday?

No they came second but they’re feyenoord not go ahead eagles they expect to be competing for trophies there.

Well Dan, in Gambia, Yankuba Minteh translates to Everton Mints. His passion for Everton all started with a school trip his dad attended in 1969 called the "Gambia to Gracie Market in 30 days".

During the trip he managed to take in 2 Everton games and he became besotted with Alex Young, so much so he changed his name by deed poll to the Golden Vision.

Once his son was born, there was only one destination for him (well 2 tbh as he loved Sting and purchased the singers original place of birth in Newcastle) so it was inevitable that he would find his son playing for Everton. On Yankubas part, he's known all the Everton songs off by heart since aged 4 with his favourites being "Everton, Everton, Everton", "booooooooo" and "kopites are gobshytes"

I've been reliably informed they've already sorted property out and put a deposit on a flat above the Wetherspoons on County Road

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Unless someone has heard anotherwise, I'd be amazed if the club in question is us.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

Got a slightly Luis Diaz feel to it somehow.

He'll end up at Liverpool before us. Stinks of it.

Be honest.

Very good Macca
One flaw in that theory though, Alex Young was sold to Glentoran in 1968

lots of talk on their end of a buy back clause

It's the drugs Kev, they've put me in a right kerfuffle

 

[maccavennie]

Sod that, give them Ashley Young instead
