30 Jan 2023 — Lokomotiv Moscow French forward Wilson Isidor (22) has failed his Lyon medical
The deal, though, has fallen through. Lyon claim that the results of Isidor’s medical tests will not allow him to complete his loan move with an option to buy. Ligue 1’s ninth-placed side add that Isidor has been suffering from consistent pain in his knee for the last fifteen days and needs to stay on the sidelines before being able to resume official competition

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

Zenit have had to buy him last month and want to sell him already?
 
This time last week Mayenda was ****e and Speakman was ****ing us again by refusing to sign a striker

This. I'm all for seeing the upside in our players and Mayenda did brilliantly against Sheff Wed, but we've absolutely no idea if he's good enough yet and I don't want us to risk an opportunity at promotion for the sake of "developing" a young lad. Overplaying him or putting too much pressure on him, could damage him just as much.

If Mayenda starts 15 games this season and comes off the bench for another 15, that's a massive season for him. If he's better than that, he'll earn his place.

I’m implying it’s not really what we need is it? Either it’s instead of Mendy or as back up to Mendy which then pushes Mayenda further down the pecking order. What’s the point?

We don't know if he's coming here as a CF. He's scored a good ratio of goals playing both CF or LW. For all we know, he could be a replacement for Clarke, in which case Mayenda won't be getting pushed down the order.

Let's not jump the gun until we know more about the deal and RLB's intentions for him.

Yeah, lots of people not really appreciating there’s a strong chance he’s the Clarke replacement, as well as another option up front
 
He reminds me of The Exile II a lot, but joined before he disappeared... but then that's not unusual for some....
I find it so weird when people get so riled up on an internet forum. There are folk on here I don't agree with. Smug & Prehab and I bump heads a lot, but I respect their opinions and debate is at the heart of human society. I ****ing love a good conversagument.

Who’s riled up? I wasn’t the one having an aneurysm because someone asked if a player is what we need :emoticon-0102-bigsm
