Fvcking failure. Getting injured. Failing little cvnt. It's like all those people in hospitals all over the world, absolute Grade A failures! The signing has not been a success (so far) but to label him a failure is a little harsh. I am not saying keep or not keep, we will have to see, but getting injured is not a failure. Have you ever called in sick for work? Did your boss say "bye bye failure"? I know, I know, I always bite. I am a small man with low self esteem and a tiny, tiny penis, this forum is the only thing in my life worth a damn bean. Thinking of ending it all actually. X
steveb Posted 10 August 2017 Posted 10 August 2017 in the real world yes - harsh beyond words - but this is football - 10 years of fantastically paid glory - beyond the dreams of normal folk - this is one of the risks - you move or get injured - someone else gets the chance -you're gone
Guest Posted 18 August 2017 Posted 18 August 2017 I watched Mendy in quite a few games in ligue 1 and he was a very good footballer. He was injured too quickly at Leicester for us to see anything and then mysteriously the medical team messed up his recovery. I think he'd be a great little player for us but everything that I've read seems to tell me that the recovery problems have soured him on English football and he'd like to go home. Living near Bordeaux I read many times that the Girondins wanted him on loan (but can't afford to buy him). I believe they still want him but nothing is happening on this end at the moment. Would love him to stay and play but don't see it happening. hope he's loaned to Bordeaux for the season. he refinds his form and love of the game and then we will be able to get a good fee for him next year.
Blue ROI Posted 18 August 2017 Posted 18 August 2017 Had great hopes for him but he seems to be a lost cause sadly. Last summers signings look like they'll go down as one of our low points I'm afraid.

Monsell1976 Posted 18 August 2017 Posted 18 August 2017 How did he get on, did anyone watch the game tonight ?

Monsell1976 Posted 18 August 2017 Posted 18 August 2017 Cheers, I thought he would be good for us, was a nasty injury, hopefully he's only going to get better, and turn out the player we thought he was going to be.

A few signings with injuries and not living up to expectations doesn't even come close to some of the real low points we've had.

For the one and only time we were in a position of strength PL champions with champions league football to come. We really had a great opportunity to build on our success. Somehow we ended up 70mn poorer without even strengthening the team one jot. The fact that we ended up with Mendy, Musa and Slim at the end of that window was rank incompetence. It was an ocean-going, copper bottomed calamity. Twatossity of the highest order and we are still trying to recover from it. In my 40 years supporting this club, this was the most monumental and avoidable fck up I have known. More so than Peter Taylor and Holloway.

Come on mate, you can not be serious? Taylor took a team who had finished top 10 for four seasons in row, a team who were ready to start challenging for top 6 places, dismantled the core, spent 25odd million (easily the equivalent of 70 odd these days) and got us relegated to a point where we didn't recover for 10 years.. Last season Slimanis goals helped us to the Champions League QF. We had a clear plan to prioritise Europe over the PL and still finished mid table. I stared watching City seriously in the season Tony James saved us, there have been multiple low points last season doesn't even get in the bottom 10.
Chico1958 Posted 19 August 2017 Posted 19 August 2017 Tony James........... that's a blast from the past Mendy, Musa, Slim need to prove their worth for me so let them have the opportunity to do so
norwichfox Posted 19 August 2017 Posted 19 August 2017 Beaglehole said during his interview "we wanted to get an hour out of him, but he was whacked at half time and wanted to come off and we had to make a substitution" struck me that he wasn't very impressed that Mendy wanted to come off....maybe I'm reading him wrong...or not

I know, PT was a disaster area and ranks as our all time worst manager IMO but as a Leicester fan, we take promotion and relegation as par for the course. It's what we do. Last year was our one chance to build on the championship success. We will never be in that position again and we absolutely needed to get it right. We fouled it up royally to the point of incompetence and killed our momentum stone dead. That's why it was so important as we had a chance to actually move our club to the next level. It was definitely a low point but from a higher starting position.
Lovejoy Posted 22 August 2017 Posted 22 August 2017 SSN saying he's available this evening. I still think there's a player in there if he can get himself properly fit.

Fox92 Posted 22 August 2017 Posted 22 August 2017 If he doesn't get a run out tonight then let him go.

I think it's a fair point, last season was a real opportunity for the club to take it's status and try and put together a squad capable of not only troubling the top 6 but also chasing silverware. Instead we dismantled more of the important backroom staff, gave players stupid contracts and basically weakened the squad. I'll give you that it should be more classed as a monumental **** up rather than a low point though haha. I do think it'll be looked on as a key moment in our history in a decade or so though.

How dare we reward the players who won the league by 10 points with new contracts to keep them at the club.
