The thing people are saying is how can we believe that when we are seeing other clubs sign them no bother

well the club could sign one 'no bother' if they pay over the odds on fees and wages...but we have seen how that usually turns out.

i honestly want to see a striker (fit and raring to go) rock up to the club a.s.a.p. and be ready to start on saturday but right now that is looking very unlikely at the very least...we just have to leave it in their hands and hope it is almost sorted.

"First of all, and to make things clear, I wanted to thank the Mbappé clan who welcomed Alex and showed their commitment to the player. It is important to clarify for the supporters that the new investors are not responsible for this situation. Today, it is Pierre-Antoine Capton and Olivier Pickeu who have committed to letting Alex go, even freely. After more than two months of negotiations, Pierre-Antoine Capton has never intervened to keep his commitments and I hold him primarily responsible. As a former footballer, I am astounded by the behavior of the former management. How can we imagine that the player can be mentally ready for the upcoming season after having been betrayed in this way? I fight against all forms of injustice in this environment and what is happening at the moment is not tolerable. Trust has been broken.I would like to thank all the supporters for the messages of support for Alex, who carries SM Caen in his heart and who has always respected the institution."
It remains to be seen whether the different parties will manage to find common ground in the coming weeks. Determined to fly across the Channel to embrace a new exciting challenge at the Stadium of Light, Alexandre Mendy expects nothing less...
I think we should just move on, in fact I hope we already have. No chance this is sorted anytime soon.
 
The "even freely" part makes it sound like to me they said he could leave no matter what, which would make sense to why mendy was choosing his destination
 
It’s dragged on enough now we can’t really afford to dick about with this much longer
 
Easy to spend someone else’s money. Hopefully they know what they’re doing. KLD’s links in France hopefully give us an edge in this one. Caen’s first match is 17th August. It’s possible part of the wait is whilst they find a suitable replacement.
 
The striker chat is so ****ing boring now. If we don't win on Saturday it will be hell on again. I understand people's frustrations and I'd love us to sign a good one but it's clearly proving very difficult in current climate to get one. I think Speakman, KlD and Harvey have proved pretty flexible in their recruitment and are clearly trying everything they can to get one. We just need to be patient.
Been 3 transfer windows. Hiw much longer do we need to be patient

They brought in 4 strikers in the last Summer window. None of them hit the ground running, but it was a clear strategy by the club to invest in youth. You can't then say they haven't brought strikers in.

This time round they are flexing the model to bring in an experienced striker but that costs more, so it makes sense to make sure it's the right one (Stewart) and not some over priced, doesn't want to be here type (Grigg). If it means we wait until 1st Sept then so be it.
