Simi Posted 9 June 2016 Posted 9 June 2016 No he's not unproven at this level. He was an integral part of the side that pulled off the great escape . Until his injury he was first on the team sheet alongside Drinkwater. Goodness me short memories , it was only a season ago and it was in the Premiership . Drinky barely played in the run in for us. Just checked and he started two games from the West Ham game until the end of the season. Short memories, indeed.
Ashley Posted 9 June 2016 Posted 9 June 2016 James was on the verge of an England call up, Roy was there watching him when he got his injury versus Southampton. So I'd say he is capable at this level yes
ARM1968 Posted 9 June 2016 Posted 9 June 2016 James is quality and needs his fitness, match sharpness and confidence back. A loan out under the wing of the Ostrich farmer would probably be best all round tbf.
mozartfox Posted 9 June 2016 Posted 9 June 2016 Had Mendy signed yet? Getting confused here reading James things on this thread.
jock2612 Posted 9 June 2016 Posted 9 June 2016 Need to get this done! Whilst we should not pay over the odds his stats are great, young and CR knows him well. He is not the most expensive target but his price could increase IF we were to lose Kante.
shen Posted 9 June 2016 Posted 9 June 2016 Think this is Mendy's agent's doing to get Lyon to substantiate their interest. As long as Kanté is with us, I don't see us going for another defensive-minded midfielder with Amartey in the squad.
AKCJ Posted 9 June 2016 Posted 9 June 2016 James was on the verge of an England call up, Roy was there watching him when he got his injury versus Southampton. So I'd say he is capable at this level yes He was there for Clyne, Bertrand and Vardy.
sphericalfox Posted 9 June 2016 Posted 9 June 2016 Oh Mendy you came and you gave without taking... And we need you today... Oh Mendy! Time this was sorted, I'm having withdrawals
foxes21 Posted 9 June 2016 Posted 9 June 2016 tbf we don't even know that much about Amartey. Claudio could see him as back up to DD, he certainly has the pace to get up & down the pitch like DD. So Amartey might not be the back up for Kante, hence our bid for Mendy?
Gerard Posted 9 June 2016 Posted 9 June 2016 tbf we don't even know that much about Amartey. Claudio could see him as back up to DD, he certainly has the pace to get up & down the pitch like DD. So Amartey might not be the back up for Kante, hence our bid for Mendy? Amartey for me hasn't impressed at all from the little I've seen of him. He has looked a bit overawed at this level so far. I'm not slating him because we haven't seen much and he's still very young but I wonder if CR feels the same? If we get Mendy our CM options are: Kante Drinkwater Mendy King James Inler Amartey We'd be clearly top heavy in that department and need to get rid of at least two of them.
dpjfox Posted 9 June 2016 Posted 9 June 2016 it appears topheavy in that department but we have to have provision to accomodate a 3 man centralmidfield, and the possibility of losing maybe James, Inler and Kante
1972 Fox Posted 9 June 2016 Posted 9 June 2016 Oh Mendy you came and you gave without taking... And we need you today... Oh Mendy! Time this was sorted, I'm having withdrawals Sig him up just for the song. Love it!
Bunyip Posted 9 June 2016 Posted 9 June 2016 Drinky barely played in the run in for us. Just checked and he started two games from the West Ham game until the end of the season. Short memories, indeed. just strengthening my argument . thank you.
notnow john Posted 9 June 2016 Posted 9 June 2016 Oh Mendy you came and you gave without taking... And we need you today... Oh Mendy! Time this was sorted, I'm having withdrawals Great effort, it's just edged, Musa been love, into second place of songs for players we won't sign!Shame.
sphericalfox Posted 9 June 2016 Posted 9 June 2016 Great effort, it's just edged, Musa been love, into second place of songs for players we won't sign! Shame. I think you'll find that this is one of the deal breakers. 100 pages of transfer thread guff and a number of prospective songs in the pipeline, and obviously a wedge, and they'll sign on the dotted line. I'm trying to do my bit.
jock2612 Posted 9 June 2016 Posted 9 June 2016 I see from another thread that a reliable source has said Kante has told the club he wants to leave. This makes this signing even more important if not vital !
shen Posted 9 June 2016 Posted 9 June 2016 tbf we don't even know that much about Amartey. Claudio could see him as back up to DD, he certainly has the pace to get up & down the pitch like DD. So Amartey might not be the back up for Kante, hence our bid for Mendy? We don't, no, but the staff likely will. He's a versatile player, but I doubt he's brought in to be a makeshift right-back. His main position is in the defensive midfield position, with experience as a centreback too.
gurru991 Posted 9 June 2016 Posted 9 June 2016 I see from another thread that a reliable source has said Kante has told the club he wants to leave. This makes this signing even more important if not vital ! I really don't think that unless you see a player signing on the dotted line that a reliable source is worth a bag of shite

His main position is in the defensive midfield position, with experience as a centreback too. Yehh definately. What I'm wondering is if he could potentially be a box to box CM to compete with DD's spot?
Fox 4 Life Posted 9 June 2016 Posted 9 June 2016 Get this guy signed up ASAP. If we can afford 20m for Deeney we can pay an extra 2m for Mendy
jock2612 Posted 9 June 2016 Posted 9 June 2016 Get this guy signed up ASAP. If we can afford 20m for Deeney we can pay an extra 2m for Mendy Absolutely agree 100%
ARM1968 Posted 9 June 2016 Posted 9 June 2016 Think Mendy would be quality. Might need to work in a £50 million release clause though, or none.
