Alexandre Mendy (transfer rumour)


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
It’s clear Mayenda starts V Cardiff.
 
My fear with Clarke is, nothing is close with him atm because we are standing firm with our valuation.

So my fear is someone will panic buy him at the eleventh hour leaving us no time to replace him.
To be fair we have enough wing options till January. We could use a late Prem loan as well if need be. The slow Prem business means loans won’t happen till deadline day anyway.

Gut feeling Clarke is happy and is staying.
He's still a season away from being a starter for me .
Agreed but even if we sign 1 or 2 this week Mayenda will start next weekend.

Most of those were signed before we sold Stewart, presumably from our summer budget - should’ve been plenty left over in Jan (was it just Hjelde and Mundle?) to get someone capable in
That’s surely not how it works though. If they knew Stewart was likely to go (which they obviously planned for) they would have factored that in to the budget.

If I know I have a paycheck coming I know I’m safe to spend money in the meantime because it will be replenished.

We can’t factor that in for sure though. He was still injured, it was last minute, and it was widely reported as not happening near the end. They would have had a summer budget going into the summer. I’m sure some of it would have been done on the plan of selling him but a large amount of those signings would’ve been out of a budget we had in addition to what we may or may not get from selling Stewart.
We wouldn’t have gone into the summer with the only money for signings is from if we sell him.
