Alexandre Mendy (transfer rumour)

It's 4million euros they want not pounds, so roughly £3.4m. The 1million euros we've offered equates to about £850k.
I said earlier 3 million euros (2.6 million pounds) would surely land him, possibly less. He's the man we've identified & i don't think that's a ridiculous price even given his age so I can't understand why we don't just get it done. We've surely left it too late to move on to another target anyway.
Definitely mate nail on head, the mind boggles
 

Much more costly here generally . Stewart for example might be comparable as “ proven” goal scorer at this level. Ligue 2 don’t often go for anywhere near the prices here. At 30 I’d say 2.75 m euro is about top whack.
Personally I reckon the issue is that we tried to get him the same way we got Batth, technically a free transfer from the club and we just buy out the contract. Now the new lot have come in and are demanding an actual transfer fee and we are reluctant to do it because of his age.
 
They want 4 million we have offered 1 no chance of a deal being struck I would not pay 4 mill either mind for a 30 year old scoring goals on French second tier.
I highly doubt the offers are that far apart mind. The deal has been close enough for us to reach an agreement with the player. No chance that happens when the clubs are nowhere near agreeing a deal.

Exactly this I imagine.

But we had, it would appear, agreed a deal with the previous owners.

Then why are we still hanging around

Because he's still trying to force his departure and maybe they'll accept some offer before the window closes.
Hopefully a like for like replacement for Caen.
