But I don't see the problem, He was a very highly rated lad at Man City, who got a move to Belgium which did not work out (many young players have problems settling away from home in a foreign country.) We have him on loan with an option to buy, so cost us a bit in wages which allows us to see if he is a gem or not up to it, and if we decide he is not he goes back. Not even close to being our worse signing 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering it was in the same window where they sold Lavia (who also hadn’t played for the senior team) to Southampton for £20m I’m not sure it can count as a “significant fee” in any way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheretheheartis Posted March 17 Report Share Posted March 17 I watched Jim Brennan play at Bournemouth and thought he was so far out of his depth as a youngster, for the first team it was untrue. He turned out to be signed by forest and ended up an Canadian international. Too early to judge, give the lad a chance. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably about going rate to buy a youth player with no first team experience Though to only make 3 appearances in just under 6 months rings alarm bells for me 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not “significant” though. Man City sold like £50m worth of players (think 4) in that window to Soton, none of whose had played for the senior team. £1.5m is a snip. Even discounting the tax for English teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodiesaffer Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 FFS. The kid has played no men’s football. He’s got a good touch and skills. Just needs time to adjust. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy62 Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 I know this won’t go down well with some, but currently the worst signing in our squad is Mehmeti. Hasn’t worked out at all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Who knows if Mebude is any good as we've hardly seen anything of him. Surely he can't be any worse than Mehmeti? It does seem an odd signing though if he isn't deemed good enough to play even if we are probably only paying his wages. Maybe the lad is a flair player and we haven't managed to coach it out of him yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He clearly has great skill, pace and touch, he is only a very young man and needs help to capitalise on his skills and assets. Hopefully Brian Tinnion will be helping him to adjust to Championship mentality and through the current crisis with an indifferent head coach, who may lack the necessary qualities to help the lad to progress.

Slack Posted March 18 Report Share Posted March 18 Think there's a chance he will come good just needs to get upto the pace of it all! More of one for the future just hope it hasn't blocked a pathway for an academy player ... As for worse signings easy to name a lot on here but simply the name Ryan Kent ...
