StriderHiryu Posted 21 June 2017 Posted 21 June 2017 Mendy is also proven in the French league and played under Claudio at Monaco. It would be a good move for him. Sometimes you have to accept that things haven't worked out and move on, and in Mendy's case I feel this is best outcome for all involved. He got unlucky with the injuries, the team was in a slump and we brought Ndidi because we needed to address those problems fast. Now Ndidi is the man and I can't see Mendy taking either Drinky or Ndid's spot in the team. Matty James though out of LCFC first team action for a while is probably a better back-up too.
ARM1968 Posted 21 June 2017 Posted 21 June 2017 I say keep him. He's on the mendy, so should be good next season.
baldeagle Posted 21 June 2017 Posted 21 June 2017 He'll still be here, I don't know of many cases where clubs have signed a player that's currently injured
AyewJoking Posted 21 June 2017 Posted 21 June 2017 oh mendy u came and your ankle went bendy but to ranieri i dont want to sendy *i have a feeling though mendy isnt quite the type of midfielder shakespeare wants

Maybe it was the perfect parody of the player himself? In which case, well done sir ?
Foxxed Posted 21 June 2017 Posted 21 June 2017 When's our next friendly? I hope to god we can test out players like Mendy in them.

Buzzell Posted 21 June 2017 Posted 21 June 2017 Give the guy another year. None of us have seen what he's capable of. That's is he stays clear of injury mind.

truebluethroughandthrough Posted 25 June 2017 Posted 25 June 2017 The short time we got to see Mendy was also while Claudio was having his brainfart of employing the tactic of sitting back and setting traps in our final third. The theory being that that was when our counter attacks had more impact as it leaves more space for the forwards. Anyway... that is why Vardys work rate seemed to dip, as he was no longer the initiator of the high press. This as we all know was ours and Claudios downfall, especially his stubbornness to not at least try to go back to what had previously worked so well. When we signed Mendy I was under the impression he was an AM with the ability to pick a pass and quickly turn defence into attack, therefore the attributes to suit our high intense pressing game. Under Shakey, if he's used that is! I believe he will know exactly what is expected of him and those expectations will play to his strengths. For this reason I think we need to see what the lad can do, at least till January then reassess.

It's more his ability to turn defence into attack quickly as did Kante so effectively. At Nice he had an average pass completion of 84% at an average distance of 19 meters, so yeah he may not get tons of assists or goals but he initiates attacks quickly which is what we lack imo.
gurru991 Posted 26 June 2017 Posted 26 June 2017 Looking at the videos of him prior to joining us !!!! He looked very good at initiating offence with his passing. If he can stay healthy he can definitely help us
