Alexandre Mendy (transfer rumour)

"Move on man Sunderland"

Sunderland move and have Wilson Isidor lined up

"For fuck sake man Sunderland man"

Classic
Yeah but two weeks ago things were getting desperate and it looked like we were penny pinching and we needed to bring someone in quickly, then the season started and Mayenda banged a few in unexpectedly. Plus the last few days it looked like we'd finally get Mendy so was coming round to the idea.
Would've hoped we'd bring Mendy in aswell as Legolas.

Perhaps the club had more faith in Mayenda than some of the fans did after seeing him in preseason and training. He was signed to play at the end of the day.
 
This is just us either moving on which with how highly rated this Isidor seems to be he could be a better option than Mendy or a tactic to get Caen to sell him.

Isidor was in the verge of going to Lyon in Jan 2023 but an injury stopped it. He looks to have the attributes we want too.

Will be an interesting few days

Ah reet

So not only is it "move on but don't move on" the club now need to foresee 2 weeks into the future

Got it

That's fair point and just goes to show you can't write players off too quick. See people saying just get rid of Jewi instead of the loan move to reading. Well he might tear it up there.
 
Relying on a lad (Isidor) who hasn’t been a regular starter for 2 seasons and a 19 year old kid who before Sunday had 1 goal in his senior career and a Ukrainian lad who scored twice last season, is risky in the extreme.

Really hope there’s more than those 3 to get the goals from up top we need to sustain a promotion push.

Whatever the equation, removing Clarke doesn’t bear thinking about.
This.
 
Just 2 years ago we had both Ellis Simms & Ross Stewart as regulars in the 1st team squad.

We need 2 decent strikers, especially given these potential new signings will have to adjust to the Championship.

Mayenda & Hemir have a lot to learn & Rusyn clearly isn’t a no. 9.

If ‘lessons have been learnt’ then we should be bringing them both in.

Spot on.Its not rocket science, to give ourselves the very best opportunity of at least making the play offs you would sign two instead of one. Mayenda certainly has ability but we just cannot rely on the young lad week in and week out.Personally I think £3m is a sum we should pay for Mendy not a penny more and do everything we can to let Hemir (who I just see making it in this country) and Rusyn out on loan, easier said than done!
 
Another excusing penny pinching and lack of ambitiion
Nothing to do with ambition just business sense. Ultimately he is an older player who isn’t proven at this level, his form at a lower level has made the club think he is worth a gamble at a certain price and now he isn’t available at that price. I’d much rather look for someone else than end up like Donald paying well over the odds for Grigg just to get the player he wanted

Unsure why we need to loan out Rusyn, why would that help us?

As for Mayenda, he's started the season well, he needs more game time.

Your view on Rusyn may differ from mine mate which is fine. Personally I think he is a very average footballer, I don’t see many Championship teams if any who would be remotely interested in taking him on loan.
