Is left back really a problem?

Worst thing about Mendy for me is he’s not even good going forward either, I thought that left peg was gonna cause mayhem in the final third but it really hasn’t.
It’s a shame don’t how much the injury impacted on him but he doesn’t belong anywhere near our starting 11 unfortunately.

I'd take Mahrez at LB over Mendy!!! Heck....we may even be safer with Ederson at LB and Mendy in goal!

Not sure about that. Mendy would have only had one thing to do in goals last Saturday and I don't think he would have made that header. Most likely would have got himself sent off. As I said before he seems like a nice chap let him train the under 12's.

I know people can be too harsh on some of our business sometimes, but fuck me do we get in wrong on occasion. What the fuck were we thinking giving Mendy a 6 year contract? He had a long injury record prior to signing for us too. It's not new.
 
Stating the obvious but if, as it looks, we exit another transfer window without a new left back it's nothing short of negligence.

January is significantly harder to strike deals so if we don't sort it in the next few days we'll probably not revisit it for another 12 months.

This goes back many years n’all. We left our over 30s crew (Kolarov Clichy Zabaleta and Sagna) 18 months to two years too long without getting some fresh legs in there.
 
Maxwel Cornet: Burnley have £15m offer accepted for Lyon player

Looks like Burnley are going to sign the Lyon left back for £15m. I thought Lyon were a very decent side when we played them and I'm sure he scored against us. If I remember correctly he was very quick as well.

Why aren't we all over this? This lad is FAR, FAR better than Mendy and if we were thinking of spending £10m on the Fulham lad, this seems an absolute no-brainer to me.

I would see this as an absolute no brainer. We need a lad who can play left back, he's quick, gets forward well and has CL experience.

I'd offer them Mendy in return as well as he might be decent in the French league and if he playing for Lyon, he might see it as a good move. Of course, we'd have to tip up plenty for his wages. If it means no more Mendy and a good player in return we should hijack this transfer.

No way do you swap Lyon to live in Burnley and having Dyche tell you to launch it every 2 minutes and be happy.
