I did a statistical comparison between 5 of our linked LBs
Mendy, Sandro, Rose, Bernat, and Hector. Of the 5, statistically, Mendy was the poorest. He had a high attacking score (a function of having 11 assists I suppose), but his possession. And defensive scores were poor compared to the others.

And when you go deeper into the offensive category, I also noticed he was creating fewer opportunities than say Bernat, Sandro or Rose par game. It just so happen his teammates are more clinical finishing off those chances.

For what its worth, I'd have all 4 Grimaldo, and Theo over him. I simply don't find any defender at Monaco convincing. They are all deeply flawed.

Good analysis. Monaco were poor defensively against us in the CL.
 
It's being reported that he was left out of the semi-final tonight for disciplinary reasons.

I can't imagine he's just there though to watch? Eyes and maybe talks for someone?

Yeah, I assume he's got a TV and doesn't need to fly down there just to see the game. Could be talking to all sorts of people though with Juventus in town as well.

Bonucci's camp, Alex Sandro's, we were linked with Alves this week, Mendy, Mbappé - he could even be talking to the clubs themselves.
 
Mendy is the only full back we've been linked with who I'm excited about. He may well be shit defensively, but then Dani Alves, Marcelo and Roberto Carlos had that thrown at them and they haven't done top badly in their careers!

As Dani Alves said, if you're good enough going forward, it doesn't matter if you're not the best going backwards.

This kid has pace to burn and is mustard on the ball, exactly what we've been missing.

This is what I'm thinking, you don't usually travel to a club to simply watch the game do you? If you're interested in scouting a player then you let your scouts do just that and trust their reports. I'm hoping he's meeting officials, whether that's of Juve or Monaco or potentially agents.

Our he could have blown the transfer kitty in the casino and that's why navas and clichy are getting one year deals
