Except he was already known to be injury prone and to have attitude problems. Obviously legal issues were impossible to predict but Mendy had one really good season in a sub-par league. He had achieved more than Cucu but Cucu has had an excellent PL season. One more than Mendy ever will.Mendy has/had accomplished 10x what Cucurella has. 50m on him was hardly a shock transfer. You can't account for major injuries and off the pitch to happen.
Regardless, neither Mendy then nor Cucu now are as good or established as Cancelo and a Walker were.
