Alexandre Mendy (transfer rumour)

There are a handful of posters who seem genuinely gutted that people are willing to draw a line under last season.

They’re moaning about every player linked, complaining about possible sales, claiming the recruitment won’t be able to find replacements (even tho they have signed a load of players we stand to make a huge profit on now), etc, etc.

Can only come to the conclusion they’re in a massive huff and everyone else choosing to look at the positives is breaking them.
I’ve not entirely drawn a line under it, we just can’t judge anything until we see what has happened and it’s impact over time. To me that’s an obvious way to think, but some choose to repetitively wallow in misery and negativity and they need to get a life.
 

I agree he may come good, but I think he's shown all the signs of being a winger rather than a striker. Just from the little we've seen of him.
Not sure on that tbh. I think he’s suited to RLB rumoured things he likes in a striker

Can see why you would say that though he has a tendency to drift. But he’s young and it can be coached into him. Quick, powerful and has a great strike on him
 
Miovski or Broadhead (in that order)
Miovski for 8m does seem a little bit of a stretch, also not sure Ipswich want to lose their first choice left winger to a championship side. To give the club credit this whole striker business is harder than many on here would tell you. (Not that we've done very well at it)
 
I think Mayenda is getting tarred with the 4 striker brush from last year.

He was 18 coming into a new country definitely bought as one for the future. Mowbray talked him up which he didn't do for any of the other 3. I think Mayenda has the potential to be a lot better then many expect. At the very least he at least looks like he wants to get involved and has plenty of time to improve.
Defo agree there, I'm mayendas biggest fan. The only one of last seasons strikers who showed some sort of desire and wanted to get at the opposition. Not going to write any of them off though because I reckon haaland would look shit under Mick Beale, just nice to see a 18/19 year old in a new country looking to try so hard to integrate himself into the squad and make an impact.

I don't think you can coach goals into anyone though. Player needs to have psychological need to get into box and score goals. Think fowler, grieves, defoe, Wright, bent, etc etc. He looked keen but not to get in positions you can't coach. I wouldn't mind a target man leading the line who'd expect less goals but more from defensive situations and bringing players into play. He's not that though and we don't have one in the squad currently.

Disappointing that he didn’t show the talent to trouble the Hibs first team though
 
Nobody has bid for him.
Bologna rumoured but now looking elsewhere apparently. How would a rumoured £6.5m not be achievable for a club like us?

Don’t answer…you’re nuts and I can’t be arsed.

But can and can do it well
It’s not the fee that’s unachievable, although 7 million is a big fee. It’s the fact all of his rumoured interest are teams in the top leagues playing European football.

Also note on the other thread your desired strikers after these two are jebbison and mubama, two young players who’ve not done anything in football yet. But you’re turning your nose up at a bloke with a goal record of 1 in 3 90s in the top flight and 1 in 2 in the second tier.

You’re absolutely barmy

I don’t think we can judge his goal scoring positional movement just yet. He’s young and he’ll learn more as he goes but he also simply hasn’t had enough time to show if he’s got this.

But I do agree with you if he can’t do it you can’t teach it. You can show him scenarios etc but some of that split second decision making is either there or it’s not

1 in 3 90s? :lol:

Tone down the bollocks man

Agree with last bit, we'll soon see. Bit like semedo who looks disinterested, now that may be his personality but its also his persona on pitch. He looks as happy as grigg did. We were desperate last summer and actually seem to have gone further backwards up front. This needs addressing if we want to progress.
 
He ticks the boxes for me. Get him in and we can rotate with Mayenda/Rusyn as backups. Much better!
 
He does. You got a reply earlier proving he averaged 0.37 G/A per 90 minutes in ligue 1. That’s 1 in 3
14 in 92…them’s the facts

In an alternative universe, Rade Prica was more prolific in both the Premiership and the Bundesliga than Mendy in Ligue 1…using your bullshit ratios :lol:

Miovski for £6.5m apparently
 
92 appearances. An appearance can be 1 minute on the pitch.

I prefer to judge stats per full game of football played
Unfortunately for you, everyone in the game judges strikers on how many goals they score, rather than the fact they weren’t able to nail a starting position at any of their teams :lol:

Might've been in euros tbf, just seen Aberdeen wanted 8 million. Still not sure we'd stand much chance competing with wages or offering european football, couldn't hurt to ask but we'd still need to be actively pursuing other options because its a very very slim chance.
 
How do you decifer any you tube video of a player from what's good or bad ?

I bet you wanked over will griggs videos on you you tube before he signed for us

That's a question you should be asking others.....


If you're so confident on your gamble and perception of me, then you should know! :lol:
That poor standard of league is basically on par with our league mate and Burnley have just signed their new striker from it. But I bet some will moan we didn’t try and go for hi.

Is he 30?

Ipswich fans were saying he wasn't great there I don't think he'd score enough playing that position

I agree, but if they’re not bidding for him then it would be us vs Aberdeen.

I don’t think we’d spend that much so it’s immaterial. There again we spent £2m on Leeds 4th choice left back
Ipswich fans were saying he wasn't great there I don't think he'd score enough playing that position
He’s known to us though and we’ve seen him play well

Anyone know is it close or not
