Oh Mendy! You Came To Madrid & Stopped Our Defense From Shaking - Welcome Ferland!

Welcome Mendy and good luck, haven’t seen him play, from the few clips looks a lot like Gareth (when he was actually quick ) in how he gets by his opponents going forward, wish him success

 

What's with all the oh oh oh though..

 

This Mendy has a lot of pace.... another Roberto Carlos hopefully.

 

Haven't seen him play often, but I'm very happy the club addressed an obvious weak spot in defense. Seems like a fantastic player from what the few times I've seen him. The club has been busy as hell and it seems that we really have a 'transfer chest' to accommodate Zidane's wishes. Can't wait to see what's next (in midfield)!

 

SHIT Tttle

Welcome aboard Mendy. Much welcomed signing.

 

How different is he from City's Mendy?

 

The biggest difference is that this one is more serious...

 

He has self respect....

 

And hopefully can stay fit for more than 15 consecutive minutes at a time.

 

A great signing by Real M. almost new defense!

Good signing. Anything to replace Marcelo.

Who the fu(k is Sam Tighe?

 

Real Madrid has been ruthlessly clinical in their signings this summer. Not even halfway done with June and 5 players coveted by many top teams are already confirmed. Ridiculous! Love it!

Now for the Pogba/Eriksen chase...

 

It's this ESPN/Bleacher report journo who's a Barca fanboy. ESPN also has Graham Hunter, whose only job is to make every article he writes about Real Madrid turn into a Barca slurpfest.

 

Gotta agree with this, his runs look very similar to a young Gareth, when he also had a bit of technique as well. I think the major difference is that he tracks back much more, and he's gonna actually play as a LB, so his technique is much better than your average LB, unlike say LW.

 

Mendy's agent Yvan Le Mee: "Ferland is proud to defend the shirt of the best team in the world, he feels a lot of affection for the club. Real have had a lot of interest in him since the first day they contacted Lyon and his desire to sign has facilitated everything."

Mendy should get 70k+ turnout at his presentation

 

When is his unveiling/presentation going to be ? Oh, and are Militao and Rodrygo going to get presentations as well ?

 

Marca says Rodrygo will be presented on Tuesday and Mendy on Wednesday.

Militao probably won't get a traditional presentation as he's away with Brazil NT for Copa America and will join for pre-season after Copa and vacation.

As someone else noted, I too haven't seen him play tbh. From YouTube it seems we're getting a technical and physically strong player. I'll admit, I'm a little bit hyped.

But the thread, bruh, after reading that I feel emasculated.

 

So the stuff about his hip has some truth to it.
