Alexandre Mendy (transfer rumour)

[1more]

if we ended up with Simic, Isidore and Mendy….have we improved the squad over all?

Hard to say as Clarke is so much better than everyone else. But he is just one player.

Exactly mate.

Everyone pretty much knew Clarke would be away this window.

This board has been crying out for 2 strikers

Looks like that's all happening now

Maybe, but we won't sign all 3. I'll be surprised if we sign 2 of those 3 tbh

It depends on how good they are.
Isidore has a fantastic (albeit from a small sample size) at LW.

 

[LionL]

Without a replacement for Clarke?

Think Isidor would be the replacement for Clarke. Failing that, Mundle or Rusyn.

Pinning hopes on total unknowns

Football has always been pinning hopes on total unknown. You're not going to know every single player that plays football and even pinning hopes on the known isn't always successful. i.e. Fernando Torres at Chelsea.

 

[Vauxie]

Could be back on now

 

[Hongkongphooey]

Could be back on now

At an even higher price than yesterday

Aye Caen will be seeing £ signs as well has his agent and advisor.
Will look for 5 million with 5 million add ons if we gan up

 

[woodlebert]

Who was the Liverpool left back we got to the 11th hour with then dropped when Cirkin became available? Sure he ended up in Scotland. It's a bit shit but that's football.

Tony Gallagher.

 

[Bears Beets]

Poor Mendy, clear now that he has been a pawn this summer for our owners manipulation of the fans. Offer 3 times less than the selling clubs valuation of their star striker.....have no alternative options until the day you sell you star player for £10milion less than his value, then push loads of rumours of us signing the next Harland

The conspiracies people make up on here are absolutely wild

 

[Boris Bear]

Think Isidor/Mundle/Rusyn takes Clarke's position and then Mendy/Simic/Mayenda up front. The transfers we bought last season would be squad depth but Hemir and Bennette need to go for game time and probably Pembele too. Before Stewart was injured, Clarke wasn't our main threat so fingers crossed if we get those three the damage of losing him is mitigated.

Isidor is not a winger

Rusyn is not a winger and is just a dogshit footballer with no real pace, physicality, skill or positional sense.

Mundle definitely has something and Watson is progressing at a rate of knots.

We’ve missed out on Millar and Rak-Sakyi because speakman is inept, but it might be nice to see Benson or Poku come in. Even then they’re predominantly left footed so it depends whether we want to persist with inverted wingers.

The reality is that we’re selling the best player in the league and whoever replaces him will be a significant downgrade.

Our transfer business has been disappointing again after a decent start.

It's the fee that's disappointing me most about Clarke moving on, hopefully Simic, Isodor, and Mendy come in and do well.

Potentially, also perhaps due to the owner providing a lack of funds? I don't think Speakman is sat on a pot of gold just unwilling to use it.

They knew they wouldn't accept £900k for him, thought it would keep fans happy that we were after an "experienced forward". No doubt we will end up getting a 'younger model'.

£2.5m on Rusyn, £2.2m Hjelde, £1.6m on Seelt…god knows how much on the rest of the shite Speakman bought.

That’s not defending KLD who quite obviously is unwilling to invest in the squad to any great degree

 

[BS1000]

Are we there yet?

Nowt on newsnow on him.
Nowt from our leader.

Issue we have is that even with those signings, they also have to agree to what seems a very strict wage structure. So even if you could buy say that Liam Miller who went to Hull for 2.5mil, we then probably wouldn't be able to afford what wage he would want. Generally we are left with cheap signings who will accept a low wage

If we can’t afford Millar’s wages we should close the doors.

 

[Thatheaderman]

Sell for cheap buy for cheap.

Problem with that is Caan and other clubs are not as thick as shite.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

I bet you were slating Jack Clarke in L1

Find where I was then

From memory, I only remember commenting what my mate said about him thinking he didn’t want to be here when he was on loan.

You do like to be presumptuous about fellow fans you don’t know, don’t you?

 

[one footed wonder]

I reckon he'll go full Peter Odemwingie and be sat in the SoL car park all day on deadline day.
