Lesta2014 Posted 28 June 2022 Share Posted 28 June 2022 Nowt against letting him go, hopefully frees up space for more attack minded midfielder or a youth teamer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We played the back half of our European campaign without using a DCM, even with the availability of Soumare and Hamza. Not ideal, I know, but I am not sure Mendy's future depends on Soumare.

Leicester_Loyal Posted 28 June 2022 Share Posted 28 June 2022 Deserves the opportunity to get first team football somewhere, but we shouldn't be letting him go on a free, he's worth a couple of million at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stadt Posted 28 June 2022 Share Posted 28 June 2022 Not good enough and I think getting him off the wage bill and trusting Brunt as the back up DM is worthwhile. Ndidi will be fit and with fewer games Mendy wouldn't play much anyway. We'd make a net saving of a few million too with the fee and wages. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pliskin Posted 28 June 2022 Share Posted 28 June 2022 One thing we’ve got to consider is Wilf, over the last two seasons he’s shown signs of being susceptible to injuries, and it really damages what we can do when he’s out the side. So if Mendy goes we will have to look for a CDM alternative, I don’t think we can afford to have just Wilf. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 28 June 2022 Share Posted 28 June 2022 (edited) Unless we have 2 excellent cup runs this season we don't have enough games to keep him happy. Unless Wilf gets injured again and then the season's scuppered anyway so it doesn't really matter who's stepping into his shoes.

Popular Post RoboFox Posted 28 June 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 28 June 2022 He's a good player who we should probably fight to keep. He's always done very well when called upon. However you can't begrudge him wanting away. Not being given a PL squad number last summer must've hurt. A solid professional who sadly hasn't been treated particularly well in his time here and should be allowed to go. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mozartfox Posted 28 June 2022 Share Posted 28 June 2022 There are trees that need to be felled well before the chainsaw is pointed at Mendy. His did very well in Wilf’s absence last season. Not a smart move for us at this juncture. We need a serious deforestation initiative over the next month even if this means cutting our losses. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldn't agree more my old fruit. Of all the pony and trap we need to clear out Mendy hardly seems a priority. He's solid enough if unspectacular. Sadly I suspect nobody wants the other rubbish.

sdb Posted 28 June 2022 Share Posted 28 June 2022 Such a valuable squad player. Annoying that we might be forced to lose such players. The quality of our squad for the next 12-24 months is on a knife edge I reckon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blur Posted 28 June 2022 Share Posted 28 June 2022 (edited) 2 hours ago, coolhandfox said: He still managed 39, 36, and 31 games in all comps in the last 3 seasons. I think he can manage to play 38 PL games, playing 3 games a week is the biggest issue, with no European football, he will be fine. It is not necessarily about the amount of games but Ndidi's performance. How many games did Ndidi play while being half fit- he usually put in sub standard performances as the result. I would keep Mendy and play him in cup games/odd double header midweek games to preserve Ndidi fitness. I suspect Brunt would be too lightweight and Hamza is not tactically smart.

Thing is though no one wants the players we need to get rid of. So maybe we'll need to entertain interest in players we'd prefer to keep, to free up wages or whatever.

TommyK Posted 28 June 2022 Share Posted 28 June 2022 Happy either way to be honest. He does a decent job when he plays. But isn't any short of long term answer. If he goes he goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFox99 Posted 28 June 2022 Share Posted 28 June 2022 Move him on, he wanted out last summer already, no point in keeping him on for another year where we don't even have Europe to necessitate any major rotation within the squad.

Dan LCFC Posted 28 June 2022 Share Posted 28 June 2022 Sell. Seems a nice enough bloke and happy enough to be a squad player but he's just not really good enough. Not a great age and not on terrible money either. If we can shift any backups to Turkey we should be all over it. That's a key out of this.

VLC86 Posted 28 June 2022 Share Posted 28 June 2022 (edited) Bit of a meh player, usually starts the season with 2/3 good games and then really fades off. Never really let us down but if it means getting 50k off the wage bill and letting a youngster/cheaper option take his place then I can see the logic.
