However, I can't but stress that mentioning Mendy in there is really harsh - injured against Arsenal, lengthy spell on the sidelines, hardly ever featured for us, that was out of our hands. Slimani has his qualities, but felt out of place with the way we're playing and allegedly made snarky remarks about the team, doesn't look like he's ever really wanted to be at Leicester, despite the Mahrez link. Musa and Kapustka? Yes from me. Although Bartosz has the benefit of his age, so could still come good sooner than later. But the reports from Freiburg don't have me overly excited, he seems to have stalled. But you can't judge our transfer record by mentioning a few selected names only. I could in turn say we've signed Maguire, Iborra (who has his qualities), Silva (who has his qualities), Iheanacho, Ndidi, Ricardo Pereira, Evans and are looking to bring in a Georgian international at centre-back, plus trying to bring the Mahrez Saga to an end, talks about Maddison /Grealish, plus rumours regarding Thorgan Hazard, Elyounoussi. That's impressive to me - not disregarding the inflated transfer fees we've paid in recent years, mind. Signing new players is always a bit of gamble - in spite of all the scouting you do and the stats and abilities available, it's no guarantee the new players will have the desired impact. Mendy has had his chance at Nice to show what he can do and has not been able to get into the team for much of the season. When he has played he has not impressed by all accounts. Nice are certainly not trying to sign him so here is another expensive flop signing with no suitors to move him on to. I don't know how else you could describe his signing except as an abject failure. 1

MC Prussian Posted 17 June 2018 Posted 17 June 2018 1 hour ago, Gerard said: I remember looking at Mendy's stats before we bought him and thought he would be a bad buy. His tackling and interception stats were poor as was his assists and key passes. He had a very high pass completion rate but that can be meaningless if all he ever looks to do with the ball is low risk and moving it on. He can't even get into Nice's team this season so I've all but written him off as another bad buy. I was trying to be as rational as I can be regarding Mendy. When you look at his time at LCFC, he's not had the opportunity to shine due to a series of unfortunate injuries. That's nothing the player should be blamed for, it happened. Of course, when you simply look at how much we paid for him and put it into context with the amount of minutes he's played for us, then it's indeed a lot of money thrown away. As you can tell, we're one the same page when it comes to the rest of the players mentioned. But that's off-topic again.

I don't know how else you could describe his signing except as an abject failure. Why Mendy couldn't get into the starting XI at OGC Nice this past season, we'll probably never know. Fact is, they do have serious competition in central midfield and I guess coupled with his injury crisis prior to joining them on loan, there was simply too much risk attached to playing him straightaway or that often. He was certainly good enough for Favre to have him start in the Europa League. All we can tell is that results-wise, Nice played better without Mendy on the pitch. And that Mendy has never been renowned for being a goalscorer or initiating goalscoring chances, he's a breakup player more than anything and was meant to be Kanté's replacement. Labeling Mendy an "abject failure" is a gross exaggeration. For what it's worth and for his own sake, I think he should return to a Ligue 1 side. 1

Bluearmyfox28 Posted 17 June 2018 Posted 17 June 2018 This for me should be our priority signing of the window. 1
lcfc sheff Posted 17 June 2018 Posted 17 June 2018 we don't necessarily need anyone else for the starting eleven if this signing comes in.

I'm not gonna Sing his praises, and I'm not Drunk, but I still want The Man despite who he listens to or is in a Photograph with. Plus, I'm not gonna Runaway with this, as One is not even an Ed Sheeran fan, Maddison doesn't Dive, so he'd be Perfect for us, and if he brings his A Team we'd be much Happier with our New Man. Still, What Do I Know? I'm just Thinking Out Loud. 1
CarbonVirtine Posted 17 June 2018 Posted 17 June 2018 "As per others" ? Have we been offering £20m for other players then? Just in the hope that one of them might sign. :/
Foxes1 Posted 17 June 2018 Posted 17 June 2018 If the Mahrez transfer saga is holding this up tell Man C, Mahrez or his agent to pull their finger out and get it sorted one way or another, or tell Mahrez he is not going anywhere.
