Alexandre Mendy (transfer rumour)


I and many others hope for realistic ambition ... nothing more than that....those ambition extend to be able to field a squad that has coverage in all areas and depth.... nobody is making demands on kld squandering his wealth but showing more ambition than he has is not being unrealistic.


We've spent zero this summer ...


your point about us needing to being bought out and not being able to attain this limit ambition makes me want to respond that these are not mutually inclusive...more over if kld hasn't got the resources to achieve those modest ambitions why is he here? If I'm a 26 year old billionaire...I wouldnt want to own sunderland ( many wouldn't )

The reality is ( and its not being disproved ) is were a cheap operation ... incapable of evolving on key areas. I ask red to prove that's not the case.
What is acceptable and what is not given where we are and how do we achieve our ambition of making the playoffs with what we have?

Can anybody prove we are not run on a shoestring
... can anybody further prove that not having a 1st ready striker I'd OK for over 440 days... if the current situation OK and are people genuinely happy for it to persist indefinitely ?
Don’t the club accounts show that we’re not a cheap operation, ran on a shoestring?

There are no excuses for not having a striker fit for purpose mind, the money we have had has been used badly it seems.
 
Do you genuinely believe we got £5m for a lad we signed reportedly on a free who featured 6 times for us playing a combined 79 minutes scoring 0 and getting 0 assists?
No mate, I never said anything of the sort, but anything is possible in football, see Danny Graham. I'm just fascinated how in such a short space of time we couldn't possibly know 'roughly' how much we got, to being "not a chance" we got that much. He also had a good length of contract left which would need to be considered

"Alexandre Mendy will not be here. He is in individual training with the athletic trainers. The situation is delicate and difficult to sort out. Of course, as coach, I’d like him to be able to join the squad so that we have an extra attacking weapon. I hope that between now and the end of the summer transfer window, we’ll find the best formula.

I’ve given my opinion on this subject and it’s not up to me. I’ll keep the discussions we’ve had together to myself. It’s an unpleasant situation for everyone, the player, the club, the new shareholders and me as coach. For the moment, everyone is losing out in this story. The idea is for us to find a win-win situation."

So, nothing new then.

We'll keep waiting.
 
Zero

No evidence of an offer
No evidence the Caen will sell
No evidence he's submitted a transfer request
No known alterative if this goes tits up

In some respects I can see why he might have Been bought... but not as a striker
I'm going there to Caen next summer. I can pop in and ask them if you like :D

"the attack is struggling as Alexandre Mendy is in individual recovery, still hoping to join Sunderland"


Absolute farce this.
When do we just cut our losses
.... 3 weeks and no progress
This war of attrition bollocks only harms us

It might be too late to start chasing someone else though, it ends two weeks today and it's taken us 17 years to try and get this lad over the line.
