Tagliatelle doesn’t seem real. Is he an impasta?
a Penne for his thoughts at this point.

That Mendy explanation is fitting for *last* season. He spent both of 17/18 and 18/19 injured, so 19/20 was meant to be his final chance - the season to see if we could rely on him. That’s why Angelino was brought in; he was emergency cover for only last season in case Mendy got reinjured while we were testing out his fitness. But by the end of the season it should’ve been clear that while he can stay fit now, his ability is gone, and a replacement would be needed. If it’s true that they were going to wait until summer 2021 then that’s just........ yeah. Bad.They will probably have wanted a look to see if Mendy had turned a corner. Turns out he hasn’t. Off we go to the list and see if they can move Zinchenko along and get Alaba or Tagliatelle

Could be wrong here, but just passing on a rumour I heard that the club were really not happy with last night. Big time. Sped up a potential hunt for a LB that they were considering putting off until next summer. Obviously take it with a pinch of salt, but at least we don't have to wait long to see if anything comes from that.
Not sure you can do any more damage to be fair
On the strength of yesterday it's hard to believe I know, but one bad day at the office should not be dictating transfer policy, no matter how desperately bad it was.Well in fairness, any panic buy is going to be upgrade. So can't go wrong really. Surely we can't sign anyone worse?

i'd hoped that midfield was seen as an equally pressing issue following last night to be honest. Mendy wasn't the reason we lost that game. we need a left back and an energetic midfielder, but IMO the latter is more important.Could be wrong here, but just passing on a rumour I heard that the club were really not happy with last night.

At least Chillwell has already gone....If we have seriously "sped up" looking for a LB on the strength of yesterday, then it'll be a panic buy, and could cause as much damage than it's intended to mend.
To be fair, we tried to sign Denis Zakaria from BMG before UEFA banned us, but something clearly changed after that.i'd hoped that midfield was seen as an equally pressing issue following last night to be honest.
