There probably is a chance if they’re scouting him, may not happen but would be a pretty much risk free signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No risk at just 1.5m compo to us - less than 400k pa amortised for a 4 year contract. Cheap as chips for a player of his quality. Kompany seems to like him, I think its likely that he must know a bit more than a bloke off a random internet forum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a u21 national for the French team, I would say that is pretty low risk when the potential upside is considered. If he doesn't hit the mark and goes on a few loans they could probably recoup most of the spend. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 Auxerre 1-0 down just as Nantes went 1-0 up. Massengo then burst right through the Lens defence and poked a foot wide under pressure, would have been a great goal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphindevon Posted June 3, 2023 Report Share Posted June 3, 2023 That’s him finished at Auxerre. It’s been a good move for him but finishing with relegation on the last day would have disappointed him after they did so well to get out of the bottom 4. I wonder what the most first team games a midfielder has played before scoring a goal is. It must be getting on his nerves by now. Hope it comes next season……..maybe in the Prem 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a professional footballer he’ll go where he can get the best deal financially and playing wise.

Yep, agree Dave. We seem to have followed the familiar path on here of having gone from ‘wonder if the move to Bristol….’ to ‘it must have affected….’. I’m not aware of any evidence that he found the move hard, felt homesick, wished he’d never come etc. He might regret the fact that he came to a club that fairly quickly descended into turmoil…three managers, all with different ideas and none of them willing or able to play him consistently in a role that suited him. I know that’s often the case in football, and he may view that as a valuable lesson too, but as you say if he’s given the chance of PL football, under an up and coming manager who’s got a clear vision for him that he can buy into, then he’ll jump at the chance. Whether it’s in London, Burnley or Wolverhampton. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His confidence wont be good after that. Not good to have a relegation on your CV. He probably needs to stay at somewhere like Auxerre as that's currently his level.
