Alexandre Mendy (transfer rumour)

[Father Jack Hackett]

I'd rather not sign half a striker

One just went to Hull for £2m

Plays out wide mbeumo you on about

No, Mendy

Incorrect we had a deal agreed with the player
It has always been reported we would not pay the fee they wanted.

Two years without an effective striker..Two years!!
And some people still defend that!

It's not 2 years. Get your facts right before you fume.

There's also no guarantee that Mendy would be a success if the deal went ahead.

I guess that's its easy to be critical in hindsight

No, Mendy

Not signing him for the prem are we

 

[TheCat99]

My Rangers supporting mate doesn’t speak very highly of him and describes him as “weak as piss. Wouldn’t be in a hurry to have him back.”

Amad Diallo

Didn’t rangers try and play him as a striker though?

Not two years you're right, just 598 days since we've needed to sign one

Aye but you were on about the standard of the league and the player’s ability. Their Ligue 2 won’t be of the same standard as our Championship.
I still want him mind as he’s bang in form.

It’s got nowt to do with what standard the league is

 

[nandos sonic sauce]

What has the standard of the league goto do with anything it’s down to the players ability

Pretty much has every thing to do with it to know if he can make it in this division or not. I was more interested in his hold up play as well as his goals. You literally said Langstaff's goals were at a lower standard than the French Division 2. Does it matter or not?

Edit apologies as think I got you mixed up with the other poster earlier

Dinnah. Do you know if they played this Felix fella in the right position? (I know nowt about him just remember him getting subbed on against our u21 a while ago)

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Well it has because he proved he can’t make that step-up in quality . Mbeumo has proved he can.

6pm scarfage?

He played upfront when I saw him. I think my opinion is affected by the amount of times I saw him throw himself about. It really got on my tits.

 

[Geppetto]

Well it has because he proved he can’t make that step-up in quality . Mbeumo has proved he can.

And they signed him when he was an 18 or 19 year old prospect. Totally different and a poor comparison.

2 years ago we had Stewart and Simms.

We also signed 4 last summer. Looks like Mayenda is going to have a good contribution this season.

More was expected from Rusyn last season which didn't happen. He could well contribute this season.

Burstow was a massive let down. Its a shame Stansfield changed his mind.

Hemir hasn't done anything as yet. I'm mot writing him off though.

Easy to judge in hindsight

I’m not defending the striker situation it’s been poor but… you’ll still pick fault even if we sort it out

Fair enough, grinds my gears too. One thing I really appreciate about the Sunderland crowd, give stick for diving even when we do it (Seb Larsson was it I remember most?)

Absolutely mate. As I say, my memory and judgement may be clouded as you can clearly see he has talent but he was always looking to go down. The Old Firm game he played in was a joke, the way he went on.

 

[sofatester]

It’s complete insanity

Could imagine the op going to buy a second hand car he'd ask how much you want for it the bloke says £500 the op says I'll give you £6,000

598 days since Simms was recalled and we've known we've needed to replace him and haven't done it, that's all I'm saying.

Today or tomorrow may be the day though!
