Agree. I like Mendy and think he is vastly underrated, probably due to the fact he has not really had much of a run in side due to injuries, and when he did get a run it was generally as part of two man DM where both he and Wilf were stifled. If we were to offer him a new deal though, i think that he would be looking for more than a single year extension. It is all a bit strange that there have been no noises coming out of either the club or the player about either a new contract or a move. I just wonder if both sides are playing their cards close to their chests and keeping all options open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahnsouff Posted 19 June 2020 Share Posted 19 June 2020 (edited) Would imagine that the situation with regards to Mendy would depend on how likely Hamza is to become an able deputy for Wilf? Maybe Hamza is developing into a different sort of player Edited 19 June 2020 by Dahnsouff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd happily see him offered a new 2-3 year deal but maybe the compromise if he is concerned about lack of game time is that he at least gives us 1 more year to cope with European football next season all being well.

Jimmy Posted 21 June 2020 Share Posted 21 June 2020 I think Wilf would be making a huge mistake to leave to one of the "big" clubs his control and passing abilities would be found out and more harshly criticised there where as here we are willing to live with the odd duff one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dooflip Posted 23 June 2020 Share Posted 23 June 2020 As with many of our players, he is destined for a big club at some point. I just hope it’s not yet. Along with pereira I would say probably the hardest to replace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only club in the world who isn't a selling club is Bayern Munich, I can't even remember the last time they sold a big player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither left for 'bigger' teams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they wanted to keep them, they could easily have done so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
