Alexandre Mendy (transfer rumour)

[SAFC 2012]

18 months without a striker yes.

But it’s evident this window were trying. When before we weren’t making much effort

Tbf they’ve done the same thing they’re doing this window for the last three.

Bidding massively under the players value knowing fine well it’s not going to be accepted to say oh well we tried.

Load of shite.

Who did there do that for last summer?

Mendy has played us for a move to Real Madrid, the cheeky bastard.

To replace Mbappe who's coming here

It's a daft article basically talking about players we're linked with.

Middlesbrough in talks with Bristol city about signing Tommy Conway

Probably get it done and be unveiled in the next few days, whereas we're f***ing about for a player from the french second division who can't move because his club might be taken over and won't come anyway. Farcical.

Give it a rest man ffs

Me? I think it’s the other way around like. Fuck me at least wait until they fail first

- I just don’t get how we can sit and blame speakman when we’ve all seen the reports we are in for Mendy and it’s on hold until he speaks to the new owners.

These reports are from genuine outlets too.

Yes we can blame him for the past ones but we can’t say they aren’t trying now

End of the day, it comes down to the fees. We wont pay the going rate for what a decent striker would cost. If we did, they'd be at least one in the building now.

We'll fumble around for someone on the cheap or a loan to tide us over.

Thought he was having his medical a week agan according to the Twitter ITKs. This summer has been the worse for this

we pay more than thegoing rate we know this...
the issue is that for a long time they didnt beieve in playing with a number 9..only lately are they reconciled to having to..

And it costs way more in the long run.

We have wasted some money over the past couple years.

Sadly until we see evidence to the contrary this seems to be the bottom line.

Absolutely no excuse anymore

No they told us they didn’t believe in playing with a 9 which was complete rubbish and one of many excuses they came out with for not signing one.

 

[Dobblemackem]

So it’s speakman’s fault that the striker we are close to doing a deal for has to have talks with the new investors first before finishing the deal?

We’ve heard the same excuse since we came back up. People have been worried for going on 2 years, but it’s like Groundhog Day, despite the concerns being well and truly realised, the same excuses and same shit is being dished out to those with a bit sense to call it out.

If Mendy was valued at 4m, we would have moved on weeks ago. They've thrown all their eggs in one basket in the hope they can get him on the cheap. It could be egg on their face if the Mbappe consortium think he's worth more.

Doctors have been on strike

Its's the same old story, we tried but........what happened to the forward planning that Speakman has quoted in the past?

The deal isn’t over yet for Mendy. This situation happened with mayenda last year and was resolved in 7 days. I’ll be genuinely shocked if we don’t get one this time and then I’ll personally start complaining

 

[Hongkongphooey]

And it costs way more in the long run.

We have wasted some money over the past couple years.

The Stewart money got spunked up the wall on players who struggled to get in the first team.
