    Wonder if Isidore is instead of Mendy?
    If we get both then that has to effect Mayenda which is a shame.
    It's only our club could go from having no strikers on a Saturday to having potentially 3 within a week.
    It's never dull supporting the lads.

    Oh ffs last thing we want to get ourselves into is an obligation to buy after that carry on with that Alveraz fella! <laugh><laugh>

    Jokes of course before it gets lost in translation! The club is run much more professionally now and that absolute amateur hour situation wouldn't happen under this regime!

    That’s how he’s ended up at Zenit in July as it was an obligation. It’s been reported so far it’s a loan to buy so hope that is true.

    also seen that someone said foreign loans usually are not sure if it’s trueb

    Most international loans do. What you don't want is an obligation to buy - think Dajaku & Alvarez

    It can help Mayenda, competition for places is healthy and having two more experienced lads to learn from is a good thing surely!!?

    People shouldn’t worry about obligation to buy deals. They’re just a mechanism to shift any transfer fee into the following years accounts. It’s best to just think of them as permanent deals.

    The problems occur when the player you sign is ****

    Won't be surprised to see Ruysn loan out and we sign Mendy, loan in Isidor and use Mayenda but have them all swapping around

    Agreed. People shouldn't worry about Mayenda - he will get plenty of game time without the pressure of being our no.1 striker.

    If we could get owt back for Rusyn be great.

    He isn’t a bad player, he just doesn’t have it for this level/league.

    I think you play him in a 2, or in a tight 3 (as a left forward) then you see a different player. He's not a lone striker or a winger

    Maybe so, but I still don’t think he is up to the league.

    He isn’t strong enough, and he isn’t quick enough. He can’t run past people and there’s been no sign of him consistently linking up.

    Not a write off, but I think he’s had enough time to show something. We’ve better options out wide that can’t get in already.

    Not offended if we hold onto him and see, but if we could cover a chunk of losses I’d personally move him on.

    He's not right for us. We play a system that needs a target man, someone to offer an out ball and someone who will a) hold the ball up and b) can pull defenders out of position.

    According to the northern echo, Isidor was on his way today. So I imagine medical tomorrow

    Aye. Far from a bad player mind. One that just hasn’t worked out.

    It happens.

    True, but it’s hardly like that can’t happen with permanent deals or owt.
