Why don't you calm down and stop insulting.
As someone mentioned, can't remember Who, we can't always trust what we read in the papers. Isn't it possible that people make mistakes without being stupid?
 

Has anyone seen much of this Mendy?

Just watched the shortest YouTube compilation I could find and thought he looked alright. Surprised he's 6'6", I dont know whether its his stance when he's set but he doesn't look that big.

apparently he didn’t start playing professional football until he was 23 which is quite cool i guess

The British and American media reaction to Liverpool signing Thiago compared to us signing the three players we got is straight up embarassing

Liverpool could sign a lad from Sunday League and the media would faff themselves stupid over it

I don't know why but this get's to me too.

I've just looked at the records of him and James Rodriguez, since Thiago was transferred to Bayern in 2013. They are pretty much the same age, have both played a similar amount of club games and have similar injury records. James has double the number of goals and assists, but I suppose you would expect that from an attacking midfielder. And they both played at clubs of the highest standing, and indeed they both played at the same club for 2 years. Both had 12 months left on their contracts.

But whereas Everton, who were acquiring James on a free transfer, were taking a gamble on an injury prone player who was past his best, Liverpool are buying the best midfielder in the world for a bargain at £25m.

Now don't get me wrong, Thiago is a fantastic player, but best midfielder in the world? Obviously Spain don't think so as he's only been capped 22 times. :coffee:

David Moyes snubbed Thiago at Man Utd after Sir Alex Ferguson secured transfer

Manchester United appear to have lost the race for Liverpool-bound Thiago Alcantara, but it could have worked out very differently for them had David Moyes not snubbed the midfielder back in 2013

Turned down Thiago as he didn’t know enough about him, went for Cesc who clearly was turned off about the prospect of playing under his eye gouging football, and ended up spending millions more on elbows Fellaini.

Signing Thiago wouldn’t have changed much at Man Utd under Moyes as his loser mentality was always going to see them capitulate, but his successor would have had a much easier job. Instead they were lumbered with a yard dog in midfield, and a team playing crap, negative rudderless football. The rot had set in, and there it remains. Don’t believe reports Kroos would have ended up there in 2014 had Moyes somehow kept the job. He was always destined for much better than him.

Correcting a previous comment. David Moyes didn’t destroy Manchester United in record time. Alex Ferguson destroyed Manchester United in record time when he appointed David Moyes.

Let's see how he does before declaring him the second coming of Christ.
