Eliezer Mayenda

So Sunderland, loaned out Alexcz, Selt, and Adingra.

They sold Jones, Jackson, Roussin, Mayenda, which is, I think a bit of a loss.

Pembele, Abdullahi, Masuaku left, Kjeldd left, Patterson, got, got a good fee for him, and Luis Semedo left.

You loaned in Kevin Danzo.

You've got to sell some, that's fair enough.

Mayenda, who I thought might have been better for them than he maybe was in the end, has gone and Masuaku that kind of thing they might turn out to be big misses so maybe they'll be fine still to stay up but as a transfer window I wouldn't say it was great

no and I think there was a lot of frustration with that fan base as well because it was really late in the window before they got like they got Mounier in but like he's been washed for years then Metali seemed to take an age to get across the line because of concerns with the medical Fafana kind of seemed like a okay, well, we'll buy him now kind of thing, rather than someone that they planned to bring in.

The Jules Ahoka kid is, by all accounts, very, very talented and, you know, potentially another Noah Siddiqui type of relentless ball winner.

Probably

Mayenda.

I liked Mayenda.

I liked his song.

I liked him as a person.

Yeah, the funny thing about deals like this is the club always say, as long as it's right for the club, we'll not stand in anybody's way, which I always find a little bit sort of funny, to be honest.

It's really easy to do that because Mayenda, for example, asked to leave Club didn't stand in his way, got good money, good deal all around.

Wren got back up for Esteban Le Paul.

We got good money for someone who only played 700 minutes last year.

I don't expect he'll be in the side on Saturday.

I think it's obviously the Mayenda style.

Third choice, isn't it? What, 18-year-old kid and, you know, Obviously, with already a cap to his name, that's got to see.

He's got potential.

But last year for Levante, he played mostly as either a centre midfielder or a 10 or a 9.

So he's very versatile, but he's not like, Traditionally, what you'll see with someone like, it's like a Mayenda role where they can play out wide or they can play up front.

Like you might see a little bit of one or the other.

It's very bizarre that they're both players who basically play 6, 8, 10, 9 and nowhere else on the pitch.

We already have a copious amount of options over there.

The links to Igor Paishov and Malik Fafana seem to be more taking advantage of the market rather than necessary in need right now.

Like when we took advantage of the market for Mayenda from Sashow, when we tried to take advantage of the market last year, when we were linked to Mikko Tadzara at Lyon.

French football is going through an absolute financial crisis right now with the falling apart of the sports deal, other issues emanating from basically the fact that All of the league is skint apart from PSG.
