Special Juan 28,141 Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Can't fault him he's done well, but he is tragic with the ball at his feet. People keep craving a CB and CF but we need a top class keeper. mkh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Mendy is living proof that popularity and trends matter in football. If a 22 year old twink had the record he has he'd be hero worshipped but because Edou did it the unfashionable way, came from an unfashionable club and was cheap he's not going to get the credit he deserves regardless of what he does.

Pre collapse Lampard and Tuchel his record reads 23 games 17 clean sheets 6 goals conceded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cech was opposed to buying a new keeper in the first place and actually wanted Kepa to be given another chance. When the board granted Lampard his wish to bring a new keeper, Cech and Lollichon did a great job and scouting Mendy tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank had the sense not to oppose the advice of those two. In fact he enthusiastically embraced it. We do not know for sure how the responsibility for transfers breaks down inside the club so we do not know whether Frank would have been able to veto the move for Edu even if he had wanted to. The tale which emerged is that Frank identified the need for a new keeper, which is clear enough from his selections, and that he gave the task of identifying the target to Petr who then involved Christoph. That all sounds exactly the right way to go about things. What we do know is that if Frank did not support the signing he could simply have selected a different keeper but he immediately installed Edu as the starter. There are many facets to leadership. How, when, and to whom to delegate is among them. Knowing which decisions to make yourself, and in which you should defer to others, is high on the list. Frank handled this correctly and should be praised for it. Edited March 14, 2021 by OhForAGreavsie Magic Lamps 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the stories that were reported, Cech did his best to support Kepa - not opposed against signing a new keeper - while Marina wanted to make things work because of the fee paid for him. She even supposedly took time out from her summer break last year to support him and try and plot a path forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I can say, is that the way you break it down here would all be pretty logical. Different people in the organisation each have slightly differing views informed by slightly differing responsibilities but can see each other's perspectives and ultimately accede to the manager's fears that the season will go down the tubes if they don't pull the trigger.
