Alexandre Mendy (transfer rumour)
- Thread starter KJNMackem
- Start date
There is no point in whinging about the behaviours of the other club as there were no formal contracts or agreements executed.
We are in grave danger of ending up without this lad and missing out on other options.

More than likely he will. It's rare that a club will win the game in these situations. Looking at examples of the power struggles since George Eastham first challenged the balance of power I'd guess you won't find many examples of clubs holding on to players actively seeking a move.

Mendy and Mundle would sound like a kids tv show…..
Can potentially cause more problems than the club wants, so yeah I agree

Fair - I thought you were saying the present squad would be good enough to get us top 6. Imo we need 2 strikers, and a decent back-up to Hume, cos Pembele looks way off.

What interests me is if the tactics will change if (god forbid) we don’t sign a proven striker.
When the club did that daft “100m sprint” video, most of them said Mayenda would win, including himself.
I know Le Bris may have been playing a certain way in pre season, but could that be playing for the striker he wants, rather than the strikers he has? Will he change it up if Mayenda has to lead the line and use his pace as an asset? Playing more route 1 and getting him in behind with his pace?
Get the ball the the attacking midfielder, through ball to get him in behind 4 or 5 times a game and you’d fancy any striker to score at least 1 or 2 1-on-1s a game if given a few chances.
That’s at least 50-80 goals for Mayenda and HMS Piss The League docking in the Premier League.
Now obviously that penultimate paragraph is a piss take, but his pace could be an asset if (again, god forbid) we have no choice but to use the players we have and don’t sign a new striker.

I had a feeling we'd be up there to be honest.
Really think, as a few have said, we're not far off a good team. We need someone who can score goals which is where the majority of the frustration is coming from given how close we look.

I can’t see Le Bris changing his approach now after spending all preseason asking the players to adapt to a certain style.
He’ll surely be thinking the recruitment team will provide him with at least one (hopefully two) strikers before much longer.
After all on his appointment Speakman had this to say …
“We are excited by the new ideas Régis will bring to Sunderland and look forward to supporting him in his new role.”

Thing is he might have to.
A good coach plays to as many of his players’ strengths as possible and gets the best out of them. Be a shame to have a speed merchant on the field and not use it. Hopefully it doesn’t come to that though.
