Alexandre Mendy (transfer rumour)

So 18 months since we had a fit for purpose striker….Have we a striker in, working with his new teammates in preparation for next week?

Yes or no will do.
Mayenda. Fitted in quite well today. Maybe didnt stretch their defence as rusyn done when he came on but he played the high press really well and was a major factor in us winning the ball high up the pitch and getting some good opportunities. I think he might be a dark horse for the main striker role and grow into it very quickly even if we sign someone else. He fits into this team
 

No further forward is a bit harsh- we have agreed a transfer fee with the players club, agreed terms with the player, the lad is desperate to join us and not training with his current team and doing everything he can to force the move.

The sensible money will be on him joining, so are we really “no further forward”.

There are a lot of people who were posting 20 times a day on here who have disappeared since Mandy released his statement.
Of course we are no further forward. We haven't signed a striker that we need. The way these charlatans operate it wouldn't surprise me if they had offered a figure so below the valuation of the selling club the deal was never going to happen. But the club can say we tried to buy him and put an offer in but we couldn't get the deal over the line and all the happy clappers defend them. Imagine if a club tried to buy Clarke for £8 million and we didn't sell then that club can at least say we tried to sign him so don't blame the club. By all accounts we have offered less than a £1 million for someone that the selling club value at £4 million.

Hopefully but we are desperate in this position
 
Maybe….. very binary way of looking at things though.

If I get fined for not having a ticket one station before Euston on my commute, I’m going to argue that as I haven’t yet competed my journey, I haven’t committed an offence as technically, I haven’t left home?!?

Think we’ve now concluded that the club has not been at fault while trying to get Mendy over the line.

We agreed a fee with Caen and terms with Mendy prior to the takeover. The new owners are now trying to squeeze for better terms but Mendy released a statement criticising Caen for the way they are behaving and basically begging to join us.

Consensus is it’ll happen next week. Turns out the people who were abused for defending the club on this one were actually correct.

What with a decent draw against a good team and then this, a bad day for a lot of people on here.
Spot on mate. Sounds like some want this to breakdown just to say "I told you so" and use it against Speakman. Very sad and negative.

You will be surprised then because apparently, the fee was agreed with the previous owners 🤷‍♂️
the happy clappers on here are a magnificent source of entertainment 😂😂😂
Looking at your posting history, I’m surprised you’re not exhausted from your late night yesterday.
What's he said mate?
“I got told that it was all done including fees literally just before the sale was done, so only thing I can assume is that it was “pending” the sale. I’ve not been told it’s off like and I do think it will happen, but I think their new owners are wanting more money than the last ones, that’s what I surmise anyway”

Making signings is very binary, you've either signed some or you haven't. Not sure what your morning commute has to do with it though 😅
 
@Di Canios Knees seems to feel like it will still happen which is enough to keep me positive.
Literally haven’t heard anything for days now, the hold up is definitely at Caen’s end not ours or the players’.

I just hope no news is good news, the player went public early which makes it seem like it’s taking longer than it is, can’t see it not happening though.

I just want it done now.

OK.

You’re right. Making signings is totally binary. You’ve either done it or you haven’t.

Who would ever be stupid enough to think a signing could be close?

Matter of time now after he’s started pushing for it publicly.

Would be a great week if we got him and Ugbo in before Cardiff.

What are you talking about? Of course a signing can be close, but strangely enough, they don't improve your team until they've signed 😂

The post of mine you'd highlighted was me wondering where these two strikers were who Mowbray mentioned, they never turned up either. So you've helped me prove a point that until they are signed, we're no further forward
