KaKa Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 The more I think about it the more I wonder if Mbemba was more of an opportunist purchase. Most of the other defenders we were linked with earlier, were all bigger defenders. Matip, Abdennour, Rudiger, Knoch etc. The Mbemba purchase kind of came out of nowhere. Being a younger guy, perhaps he was seen as more of an eventual successor to Coloccini, as well as cover for Janmaat. Hoping we still bring in an absolute tank to partner Mbemba/Coloccini. Obviously prefer him to now partner Mbemba as Coloccini is done. Isn't there quotes that we'd been scouting Mbemba for ages? Yes, but the decision to buy him at this point being opportunist, rather than we weren't watching him previously. Think we'll still buy a big defender. The fact it looks like our perseverance with Thauvin has paid off, has given me a lot of hope regarding Abdennour. It's been a similar story there. Lots of reports of firm bids, and Monaco wanting more money, and the player not wanting to come etc. There has been no further interest in the player from other clubs, and not long ago there were reports the player was open to Newcastle, and then it went a bit quiet. Negotiating still perhaps? And now reports we will go back after tying up Thauvin. I mean we had been linked with bigger big money centre backs from the outset, and Mbemba was really cheap, and I just think we all just assumed that was it. I'm feeling good about the situation right now. Think Mbemba was just an extra i.e. too good to ignore at that price. Also got more money to Anderlecht who had to give some of the fee for Mitrovic to Partizan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(U21) If so he's very comfy on the ball and likes to bring it forward from defense and is also a good passer. Yes please! Aye, it's him. As a Dane I've been watching him a lot and he is very talented. He is strong, technical with a very good passing range and extremely good in the air. Has scored a fair amount of headers from set penises as well. He has captained all the Danish youth national teams and I've always wondered why he hasn't been picked up by some of the bigger teams in Germany. He might lack some pace but isn't Willo-slow. Would be a good CB partner for Mbemba imo. I'd still prefer Abdennour though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might be right in a way seeing as he'd had talks with two other clubs before we ponied up the money, maybe the club thought be was too good a prospect to lose out on a la MYM Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 CB is one of those positions where you really need to learn it. I'd prefer a lad in his mid to late 20's if he's to come from abroad. Needs to come in and hit the ground running. An experienced player gives us the best chance of that.

sugoinufc Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Lots of good CBs around - just pick one and move on to new positions. I would like us put in a cheeky bit for okore at villa...but I'm afraid that's rather unlikely to happen... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest antz1uk Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 http://www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2015/monaco-holding-out-for-a-deal-worth-e30m-for-aymen-abdennour/ Get French Football News can reveal that the reason why AS Monaco have yet to sell central defender Aymen Abdennour is that they are currently holding out for a deal worth €30m, after receiving enormous interest for the player. Barcelona, AS Roma, Juventus, Newcastle United and Aston Villa are the five most interested clubs at the time of writing in Abdennour. The player’s preference is for Barcelona and then Serie A at the moment, but AS Monaco Vice President has already held talks with the La Liga side in Barcelona about 10 days ago and no deal was reached. Newcastle have been persistent with their approaches, being turned down by the player’s entourage in April. The Magpies then had a bid turned down in June, despite being told by the player’s entourage that Abdennour was not interested. It appears that neither Newcastle nor Aston Villa have given up on securing the player’s services. Monaco also received a bid from West Ham, who gave up when that was rejected. forget that one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
