It’s also a World Cup year in 2022. So Mendy needs to be playing football, which works in our favour, He either stays and doesn’t play, then misses out on World Cup place, or he goes, but on our terms.I would be amazed if we got anything more than a loan where we pay half his wages. I cant see anyone parting with serious cash for someone with his injury record, especially in the current COVID climate.
Pep gave him loads of chances last season. This season Pep has been banging on about "eliminating mistakes" from the team, and unfortunately Mendy is our most error-prone defender.not being in the squad - despite a makeshift lb and a Rb playing in his position - says it all really
was supportive of him as with all city players- but his career has been wasted unfortunately at City. Hope there is a solution in the summer
We’ve already targeted Romain Perraud for LB next season. Given how Mendy is a closet Leeds fan judging from his tweets I’d certainly welcome him though.Would Bielsa take him at Leeds? Mendy played under him at Marseille...
Mendy is poor with and without the ball, has had previous for not being professional and has had bad injuries.I don't think he's finished at all. If Stones could come back why not him then?
He has to follow his example and work hard. He is the victim of Pep new system and also of Cancelo explosion
I'm gonna try to explain myself. Cancelo is out most important fullback for many reasons and he is the first name Pep puts on the game sheet. If Cancelo is on the right , Pep will play Zinchenko on the left to have a defensive balance( Zinnie doesn't play as high as Mendy, actually Zinnie plays Left back and midfielder, Mendy plays left back and winger)
If Cancelo plays on the left , Pep will play Walker on the right for the same reasons. If there was no Cancelo, Pep would be happy to use Mendy to have this offensive threat.
The challenge for Mendy now is to learn how to play as a midfielder and left back in the same time. With work he can do it and if he can combine the 3 fonctions in the same time like Cancelo(left back, winger and midfielder) then he will have his chance.
Don’t think the World Cup side of it will make any odds to anyone to be honest.It’s also a World Cup year in 2022. So Mendy needs to be playing football, which works in our favour, He either stays and doesn’t play, then misses out on World Cup place, or he goes, but on our terms.
