Yann M'vila - target or not?


We definitely need someone like him now. Even though he’s available, I doubt very much whether we would offer any wage attractive enough to bring him back.

Wasn't the axe thing him smashing up his apartment. I don't think there was anyone else there when it happened, so not sure where the defending himself comes in, if memory serves - he was pissed off about something, so took an axe to his apartment. He later joked about his winning a fight if there was a Russian with a gun and him with an axe.

Maybe? My memory was he had hassle at his property but could well be wrong.

have done a bit on him still being a free agent and say we did inquire about him during the summer.
 
Great footballer and I would have been very happy to sign him as an Evans upgrade but I genuinely think Neil, Ekwah and Jobe would be ahead of him so he’d need to accept very reasonable wages. I think Evans will go in January if he’s fit enough and wouldn’t be surprised if Embleton and Matete did too so I’d expect at least one midfielder to come in.

Had we been able to get him in for the money potentially saved on Pritch and Dack I reckon we would have won the league.

Would have remedied all of our issues in an instant... squad balance, experience, ability, class, determination, sheer will to win and lack of sexy pirates.

I still think we missed out not doing it, we were obviously going to regret the window closing and only having Neil and Ekwah in the middle for a good while.

There's some thinking there that I do not understand, to go so many deep in the cam role whilst having no one to play deeper than the two we don't have cover for seems very odd.

Maybe it's just a case that they weren't available at the time? Yann supposedly wanted Saudi, but there were great options in Scandinavia imo.

We did try and get that Crespo really late on in the window but the lack of urgency for that position was definitely weird.

If the last few weeks have shown us anything it’s that our main weakness squad wise is in the middle of the park. Letting Evans and Matete go without another coming in leaves us so light, one injury and we’re struggling again

Forgot about him, sounded ideal.

As it is, Yann hasn't trained with a club for months and would presumably take till Christmas to get match fit. I'd still take him, ideal for Ba and co, keep Adil in line.
