Benjamin Mendy

[Rolee]

@Ric said he would ban himself if he didn't show up for the medical today

Didn't he say Mendy is scheduled at the CFA for Wednesday on the day Walker signed?

Edit: scratch that, just had a look back and he did say Tuesday.

If someone at the club mentioned to Ric that Mendy was scheduled for today,wouldn't that suggest an agreement has already been reached?

We're not saying a fee hasn't been agreed mate, just find it weird how they appear to want more for mendy a fullback than an attacking creative Bernardo.

For something that was supposed to be sorted weeks ago, this ain't half dragging on.

Not sure if it was a freak goal but Jesus' header at the end of last season raised my eyebrows. He seems decent enough in the air, huge spring too. I remember him nearly scoring a header with one of his first touches v Spurs with a great leap. Mendy was crossing to Falcao last season. He's not exactly a giant. All you need is good movement to lose your man and then a cross to match. Look at Falcao's header against us. Deadly cross, a relative midget scored with his head. Pretty simple. Even Aguero has scored some nice headers for us. Plus, a cross doesn't always need to be to someone's head. Kolarov has been crossing to Aguero for most of his City career, and the wee man has been gobbling them up. I think it's quite old fashioned, Big Sam tactics to think that we need to cross to Peter Crouch otherwise don't bother.

On the money.

Haha, FFS.

Who is he going to be crossing too though?

Aguero, Jesus, Sanchez, Silva, Bernardo, Sterling? I mean outside of Sane and to a lesser extent Debryune, our attacking players are vertically challenged.

I here a lot of talk about how great of a crosser Mendy. But I hear very little about who he'd be crossing to.

Judging by this comment I'm assuming you've not watched him play regularly. Most of his crosses are hard and low.

Good night blues.
