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

Solid defensive game for Mendy as usual.

Offensively though...a lot of work to do.

I thought his crossing was poor today and also for some reason he doesn't overlap and try to get to the by-line enough (made a Zidane choice...don't know).

Very good signing though.

 

Love the fact that he can use both of his feet expertly.

 

I love this guy, what a signing!

He’s confident, brave, strong, good with both feat, reads the game well. Seriously love this signing.

 

Most influential of the summer signings so far. Integral to the best defense in Europe

 

MARCA: With Mendy, Real Madrid have conceded just 3 goals in the 913 minutes of his 12 LaLiga's games. In all competitions, Mendy hasn't conceded a goal during his 625 minutes since Brugge on December 11. He hasn't been playing for the four goals they've conceded since then. pic.twitter.com/GbZnjN2FeQ

This guy is a machine man. And the scary part is he is getting better

 

Why not?

We need 2 quality players and we play a lot of games

 

This is likely outcome considering Reguilon does not strike me as "sit on zie bench" type of guy.

 

We'd still need a backup though.

 

If Hakimi comes back in the summer he can cover both right/left back positions and Nacho is really good as a fullback.

 

What a beast this player is becoming for us. I pointed it out in the summer, but it’s his key attributes and strengths that just make him suited to play at the top level, and that’s exactly what he’s beginning to do for us.
I love how he tries to use his right foot too, not uncomfortable or phased to switch feet when necessary.

 

If you’re the opposition, he’s the type of player you dread playing against as its very hard to make inroads against him, and then he attacks you, so it just gets worse!

 

I'd sell Reguilon to Sevilla for a fair sum with a buyback after two years like we did with Morata. I think Marcelo will see out his contract until 2022, but won't give up on Reguilon permanently yet.

 

Best signing so far this season?

 

To be fair, I see Mendy as our LB for the next 6/7 years. Reguilon stands no chance against him, on every level. The impact Mendy has had on our defensive structure is very rare. Worth every penny, Zidane (once again) proved his eye for talent.

I'd be OK with Reguilon as a back-up, but he probably wants to play, so cashing in sounds fine to me.

By far.

 

Surely, Ferland has to be the starting left back for France in the Euro.

Zidane handpicked a gem

 

If Zidane is given a say in our scouting, along with Calafat we’d have two of the best in the game. He’s very good at identifying talents, I’d like to see involved in signing players not only for the first team but also for the Castilla.

 

Simply in love with Mendy. What a signing.Nothing goes past him and as was correctly pointed out, he is becoming better offensively, absolute monster of a player. Zizou has struck gold as usual.

 

By a Country mile, and he’s still only 24 years old, lots of time to develop further.
