Take a bow 😆 Have done :) I note the Spanish press are with Spurs paying Bales salery with Madrid covering his bonus, The truth is out there but anything that reduces Levy to mere human status cannot be all bad. We have not seen an implosion in the top flight since Leeds , Heres hoping its the Spuds Edited September 16, 2020 by southcoastal Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even if they manage him so he plays 20-25 league games, he could make enough of a difference in those games. If he turns 5 draws into wins, they are 10 points up the table. Not a big ask.

Bison Report post Posted September 17, 2020 After yet another Kepa mistake you would have thought Mendy would have been confirmed first thing on Tuesday morning. Hw could have very easily cost us points on Monday night. Why are we going into another round of fixtures with him in goal? Surely Lampard must be raging at this point.

Mendy will not be walking into the number one spot, he cost 18-20m vs 70m goalkeeper. He is being brought in to give Kepa competition for the number one spot. Unless there is something we don't know his cost would suggest he is number two material. It may also the case of Rennes being to greedy and like Havertz deal, Marina may have given Rennes a take it or leave it option with the offer BTW - According to the French press Mendy was back in Training with Rennes yesterday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is the better GK but it doesn’t take much to be better than Kepa. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is below average in almost every metric. Mendy doesn't have to be world class to get into the team; he just had to be better than the worst goalkeeper in the league and he will be first choice. I have just read comments from Mendy's agent confirming this will go through so that's that. Relieved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
