NikkiCFC 8,318 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 I guess we would need to sign Mendy in the next three days max if we want him to start against Brighton. Ironically, Kepa was motm when we played there on January 1st. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 13 minutes ago, Rapkun said: The fee could reach up to 28M euros after bonuses according to The Guardian. That's a bit much IMO. If that's true, I fail to understand how Mendy is seen as a cheap alternative while Onana is rumoured to be available for around 30. I would assume the club see Mendy as a better alternative to Onana, not a cheaper one. Whether he's actually better or not is a whole other question but that's how Cech, Lollichon etc. see it. kellzfresh and killer1257 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Special Juan 28,141 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 This is a transfer we have to trust the likes of Cech on etc....There is a fine margin here as we paid through the nose for Kepa, he's shite so people are hardly jumping through hoops to buy him or take him on loan I assume. It speaks to me like the club buying Mendy, starting him and saying to Kepa "This is how you do it" Could be wrong but I simply cannot see anyone being worse than Kepa.

Hutcho 8,443 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Like mendy is an average keeper.But kepa was expected to concede like 35 goals last year based on xg and conceded like 46 so an average keeper is a massive upgrade.Then what you've gotta add into that is that from open play we allowed the 3rd fewest shots with our biggest weakness being set pieces. A big keeper to claim those would help to address a big issue of ours. Our defence was bad last year for sure but no where near as bad as our goals conceded would make it seem.

Hutcho 8,443 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Also...Watching all or nothing with spurs we are so lucky we don't have a Daniel levy type or any of them people in high up positions in our club. Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pizy 18,903 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 If we could pull a Chilwell and get Rice for like 20-30m under what WH are reported to want then that would be mad. Would WH have the ability to adequately replace him, though? That's the biggest hurdle. If Dec comes out and hands in a transfer request and demands to be sold to Chelsea I think it could happen. Oh, and we'd also have to sell Barkley and Jorginho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NikkiCFC 8,318 Posted September 7, 2020 Share Posted September 7, 2020 Bakayoko, Michy and Ross for Rice would be good offer for them. But Marina probably rates Rice 60m, Barkley 40m, Bakayoko 30m, Michy 25m so no chance... Muzchap 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! King Kai 49 Posted September 7, 2020 Popular Post! Share Posted September 7, 2020 Massive upgrade to Kepa. Most GKs would be an upgrade to be fair. One thing is sure though, he will tower over everyone. Cant be worse then Kepa at shot stopping either. Kepa has wrists made of glass and positioning of a drunken mad bastard.

Popular Post! killer1257 3,282 Posted September 7, 2020 Popular Post! Share Posted September 7, 2020 Maybe Cech and Lollichon see Mendy as our best option because he solves our biggest defensive issue, which are set pieces? Especially during corners, having a tall guy that can catch balls might be a way to solve our weakness. Kepa never leaves his line, while this guy is almost Nick Pope level when it comes to aerial strenght.
