Looking online it shows him as a winger?

Either way, liked the look of him so hopefully that deal is still a goer

Abdoulie Manneh - Player profile 2026

Abdoulie Manneh, 21, from The Gambia ➤ Mjällby AIF, since 2023 ➤ Left Winger ➤ Market value: €2.50m ➤ * 29/09/2004 in Tujering, The Gambia

The journalist who covers the club said Manneh plays with another player as a double number 10. He said his weakness is he wants to shoot all the time from unrealistic positions.
More recent reports say the club or maybe the agent are pissing us bout trying to get a better price. Same happened with Olympiakos apparently when everything was agreed.

Agreed.
We also got Torp from a mid-table Sarpsborg in the Eliteserien (Norwegian prem), and he is quality.

Yeah for £2m he was an incredible find, worth 10x that now.

Incorrect. It was olympiakos that fucked around with the fee last minute. Player was all set to go everything agreed and then they tried to renegotiate last second (having significantly outbid rival clubs to put them all off and then on deadline day think they can change their price)

As I have mentioned multiple times. The Player does not want a drawn out deal again because of the fuck around last time. Player keen to come, terms agreed since start of October. Final details between clubs aren't there, but it's a deal that 95% there. Would take a big shift on either side for it not to go ahead.

No way is Torp worth £20m

Probably looking around for higher quality youth players to have in the academy developing for the future

It is a great find, but has taken him a while to adapt and looking ahead to this window, any signings need to hit the ground running.

He's not played in the Prem and he's not Gyokeres level so he's not worth £20 million. He is comfortably one of the best midfielders in the division though and i don't think we'd even consider consider selling for less that 12ish, maybe more? Hard to say, not worth selling the way we're going.

Didn't realise it was Olympiakos who pulled the plug. However, there has been information released (possibly by his agent) that the transfer was not a done deal and may have stalled when other interested parties showed an interest. You can only go on what has been written, even if the sources do not always appear to be trustworthy. Bullshit and agent misinformation unfortunately are rife in the world of football.
I gather from your emphatic statements that you are fully in the know about this transfer. I am sure you are unable to reveal your source, but I would be interested to know which end of the transfer chain this information came from.

Yeah I was the one who originally shared on here, if I say which end it makes it very obvious the source, my view is it's not the players agent playing with the media. However the club on the other hand may be trying to stir interest.

Again I am not an ITK by any means I just have links with this very specific transfer!

FWIW transfermarkt.com value him at €12 million, which seems about right to me.

All as I can say he looks fast but misses most attempts. We used to have players like that but now they are ruthless. Perhaps someone see potential in him

He must have underlying data that makes us think he’s a good prospect. I doubt we are buying him based on his highlights video

That's one of the worst highlight videos I've ever seen, it's almost like it was made by someone who supports the club and is trying to put prospective buyers off. Some of the highlights don't even involve him doing anything, just being in the frame.

Pretty sure his agent is UK based, so probably knows him or one ofthe players he represents.
