Alexandre Mendy (transfer rumour)


Not to worry you ardent plane trackers, but what if he came by ship? We should have someone watching the docks, and maybe the beaches in case he lands Viking or Norman conquest style…
 

The hope on Wearside is that Mendy’s determination to move to Sunderland will eventually lower Caen’s demands. They are willing to go higher, but won’t go near Caen’s asking price, at least not yet. Sunderland believe time pressure caused by the ticking clock of the transfer deadline will break Caen’s resolve and result in a price somewhere in the £2m-£2.5m range.

That is the reason progress appears to be so slow, as it’s essentially waiting for the right moment to get the player for the money they want to pay for him, but it’s obviously a very risky strategy too.

Which is fair enough imo. We shouldn’t be paying anymore than that.
