The hate for Ben is horrible to read on this site sometimes,
I don't think anyone hates Mendy.
Thinking someone is not up to a required standard and hating someone are completely different.
We bought him based on his great performances in France, a French International and a player who could get down the wing and provide great crosses and passes into the box.
He started off well enough but had what at first appeared to be an innocuous enough injury. This injury turned out to be serious.
Unfortunately he has not got got back to full fitness , lost his ability to cross, defends poorly and is lacking confidence.
He has slipped down the pecking order and does not look like getting his place back.
Our foreign quota is full and if we need to bring in a player on loan or buy someone, a player has to be sold or dropped from our panel.
We have no long term injuries so I think Mendy is the one in the most precarious position.
He is still here as he is unsellable due to his wages and fitness.
If he hasn't got his game back fully he has to go even though the club may he out millions.
