My take is it has grown in stature every year. There's some crazy levels of talent, I think the average level of talent is probably insane compared to 10 years ago. They get a lot of young South Americans over there and the North American lads are developing well too. I think quality wise, there might be more in USA. But France might be a better place to adapt from. I haven't watched MLS since god knows when.

MLS is very comparable to the Championship now, certainly in terms of player quality, maybe less so in terms of competition and intensity.
 
Some suggest our valuation of Mendy is based on his contract to June 2026. £1m or £10K a week ? Sounds good guesswork ?
See Caen are working on a replacement ? Yesterday 17th.

Nabil Djellit on X: "La tentation de faire revenir Mbaye Niang au Stade Malherbe Caen, son club formateur, existe. Il y a des contacts entre les différents parties. A 29 ans, Niang est libre. L'international sénégalais possède d'autres sollicitations après une saison dernière à 14 buts. [HASHTAG]#Mercato[/HASHTAG] https://t.co/Xx5UPrNarH" / X

The temptation to bring Mbaye Niang back to Stade Malherbe Caen, his training club, exists. There are contacts between the different parties. At 29, Niang is free. The Senegalese international has other requests after a last season with 14 goals.

Posted this on the match day thread but thought I would here too


Really encouraging from Mayenda. A lot of people didn’t want to see that Mayenda had something about him due to the frustration of the CF situation. But all pre-season and these two games it’s clear to see there’s something there with his movement, pressing etc.

his first goal was a lovely striker and the second we wouldn’t have seen last season. Right place, right time which is what we have needed for strikers.

I’d like us to still get one senior striker in but let mayenda be the backup. I wouldn’t want to block his pathway after a performance like that
 
Many would like us to buy 2 x strikers but after Mayender today it looks like we’ve already got one of them.
That could mean we can spend a higher sum on one better striker.
It’s like instead of buying 2 x £2million strikers we can get 1 x £4million striker.
Don’t know what funds we have but you get my point.

He took both chances very well, this definitely eases the pressure on the striker situation. Not going to go as far as saying we don't need one now, but the shirt is his to lose.
 
Missed all of that today ffs. My lass’s da’s passed back end this week Anyone care to give me an update on today’s game / transfer news. I think the last post I made was about everything feeling better when Mayenda bagged 2, wish I’d put a bet on

We absolutely tactically outclassed Wednesday from start to finish. Nullified then playing out, then nullified them playing long. They didn’t have a chance.
