Alexandre Mendy (transfer rumour)

[Deleted member 11942]

He’s good at holding onto the ball

Exactly what we've been missing since Ross got injured

Got good numbers, strong lad, with plenty of experience in men's footy at 30 yr old, even if it isn't at the highest level. I doubt we're talking big money so he could be seen as a decent punt.

Looks strong as an Ox.

would love a brick shit house playing up top

Will get booked often for that mind. And probably give away loads of pennas.

Desperate for someone who can hold up the ball, felt sorry for Roberts had no one to aim or playoff last season.

Same.
Whilst there's no doubting he has to look at himself too, there were definitely mitigating factors to Roberts' form last season. Obviously injuries didn't help but his whole game is playing little triangles with a skillfull #10 or playing one two's with a cf & we pretty much played with neither last season.

Big strong mobile striker would make such a difference to us

This

If we get Mendy as a starter plus Mubama as a understudy, which would allow us to Loan/Sell 2 of Mayenda, Rusyn n Hemir then that’ll be good business.

Agree, this is what I would do

Is this about the equivalent of a 30 year old league one forward? Sam Vokes calibre?

No

Sunderland have ‘sent an offer’ to French side Caen for 23-goal striker Alexandre Mendy and ‘negotiations are under way’ to take him to the Stadium of Light.

The Black Cats do have competition as Saudi Arabian side Al-Riyadh SC are also keen on landing Mendy and have made an offer.

Soon as I saw a Saudi club were in for him, that's one player not coming surely?

Quite a fell balls over the top to chase, and crosses going in for some of his goals, which is something we rarely do. Wonder if Regis has noticed this and will want to mix it up a bit?

How can we have put a bid in for him, he's 30 and therefore that would break the "model"

 

[keema naan]

the other thread not good enough for you there mate?

Speakman doesn’t like the word Model now, your not allowed to mention it.

Hopefully because he’s realised his ideal doesn’t work

he doesnt set the model..the owner does...but yeah I suspect the owner has ivoted away from that as he needs promotion quickly.

 

[1992clock]

Looks like he has a decent scoring record to be fair
