Alexandre Mendy (transfer rumour)

The penny pinching has to stop when it comes to such a critical position. Yes, we've had to wait for Mbappe's deal to buy Caen to go through for the Mendy deal to move on but if we weren't haggling in the first place, with the season rapidly approaching, then we could have had that done well before Mbappe delayed it.

During a normal season it might not have been so bad but coming off a season where we literally gave up for 50 percent of it, writing off even more games at the start of the season while we look to save 500k or whatever is not good at all.
You been seeing anything to suggest it’s moving forward again?
 

Only real sticking point here is the fee. If reports are to be believed about what we've offered and what they want, then it looks to be too far apart if we're not willing to put some proper money down.

You can see why they'd be refuse to let their main striker who's scored 20+ goals for the last 3 seasons go for less than 1m fee. We'd find the offer insulting if it was the other way around.

If he's the one we really want why are we penny pinching and wasting time?
I can answer that - Speakman 🤬🤬🤬
 
Agreed. I’m just not sure what the same half dozen serial moaners posting the same thing day after day is supposed to achieve.
It winds you up and allows you to come on and slag other fans and kiss the backside of Speakman and KLD so don’t know why you are complaining. You wouldn’t have anything to jump on if people weren’t expressing their frustration.

That's what I'm saying, if we only value him at around 1m and they value him between 4/5m then it's seems a waste of time.

Even if Mendy himself wants to come, that club aren't going to give us their main striker for next to nothing. I think their 2nd striker is older and only score 3 goals last season.
Oh for christs sake. Going on Speakmans form he’ll likely try to buy him instead !!!

I don’t think anyone truly knows what is happening, Roker report and a couple on here obviously had the same info last week that he was having a medical but whoever leaked that info definitely jumped the gun.

I’m past caring tbh, said for a while Speakman is on thin ice, he’s not doing himself any favours with this and the last few transfer windows.
 
Even if he's signs in the next week or so he's probably not going to be up to speed until September.
It's not like he's on strike though, just neither party wants to risk him getting injured but they'll still want him as ready as possible to play, without risking him, so he can feature if a move doesn't happen.
 
For anyone coming in from work and opening this hoping to catch up on the potential Mendy transfer

12.03 This morning. We knew nowt.

18 pages of the usual people saying the usual stuff.

17.35 We know nowt.

Nothing to see here (except some nice chat around fast food chains around pages 184 and 185).
 
As if they’re not trying to sign one. The mods need to sort this. Always happens. Repeated negativity from the same posters, none about Mendy, same targets, say it once and shut up. Then people defend it, they argue, thread off track and pointless. Just limit posts and stop it being dire. Move Speakman hating posts to Speakman hating threads then we don’t come looking for striker news. A few miseries ruin this place. It’s crap.
Mods need to sort what ? Stop People expressing their frustrations at the lack of progress in the striker dept for 4 transfer windows and only allow you and the rest of your happy clapping mates to post your constant defence of Speakman and KLD ?

What a daftie !!

To be fair you could exchange those “times “ for any dates in the the last 18 months regarding a decent centre floorboard !
Must be canny frustrating for the players as well as us.
I kna they don’t grow on trees but we could have planted our own by now and been fully grown !
