Player Suggestion Nathaniel Mendez-Laing

[Grappler]

Not a bad player, big built and a bit of pace, but I think we can do better.

 

[brownie4583]

Thought he was poor for us last time, very powerful but that was about it

I think he’s definitely improved a lot now tho

 

[Tunstall Fred]

Nice shoulders on the boy

 

[I should coco]

Spoken like a real football expert!

You'll fit in well on here...

That's all I remember of his loan spell, that and when he meant to cross but somehow it went in the net.
Was it during the early days of Wilson's reign?

Lad was only a teenager when last with us. Injury meant he was sent back to Peterborough I think it was. Wanted us to go for him after that 3-3 at Rochdale where he played Lafferty off the park. Proper winger so wouldn't really fit into the current system. Big lad though who could get up and down at right wing back but not sure what he'd be like defensively. Good player though.

 

[John Snow]

Where would he play? Can't see it.

Yes, the goal you mention was in the 4-0 win against Bury, I believe.

Edit: just looked it up. Erik Tonne got the 4th in that game

 

[Ricky]

His physical transformation is even bigger than Che Adams'. He's a powerful speed machine now and can beat anybody one on one.

He should get a move to the PL this summer, but he doesn't quite seem suitable for us. Given what he'd cost we'd have to be quite committed to playing with 2 behind a striker quite often. Though I can see him evolving his game and becoming more of a forward.

We were interested in him when went to Cardiff 2 years ago, so maybe we are again, you never know.

Erik Tonne,the next big thing as I recall.

 

[Bladesthorpe]

Erik Tonne,the next big thing as I recall.

Along with Giralamo, Long, Ironside, Cofie ect, ect.

Can’t really judge him from a handful of games 8 years ago in fairness though.

 

[DeanLearner'sCat]

People need to stop suggesting wingers.

 

[Rodley]

If we’re changing from our system for the last three years, then maybe.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

It’s been a while since there’s been any “we’ve been found out” and “it’s time to change the system” posts. Can’t wait for those to appear in August if things start a bit slowly.

Usually followed by “I know Egan is a centre half, but I think he has all the attributes to be a number 10 - why doesn’t Wilder try him there FFS?”

 

[Bruce Wayne]

His brother clubber says's there's nowt in this.

 

[mattbianco1]

 

[Liaminho9]

Dealing drugs apparently but not confirmed yet.

 

[Mouth of the South]

I thought someone was going to suggest signing him (again) for a minute.

What a stupid lad he is.

 

[S64 Blade]

Another one for the Bad Boy Blades XI.

 

[chesblade]

Someone said he has a thing about going out fighting and paying people to fight him

 

[LoughboroBlade]

For that sort of statement it has to have been something extremely serious. I mean we didn’t even terminate one of our player’s contracts when they were sentenced to 5 years in prison...

 

[Cheesebored]

Can we get our coat hanger back out of his shirt before he's sent down?

Isn't that because it was about to expire anyway ?

 

[BLADES1988]

What footballer needs to deal drugs to get through life. Absolute muppet.

 

[LoughboroBlade]

It may have been part of the reason. Regardless it would have been more normal in that situation for the club to have announced it was being terminated...

 

[Addison]

Involved in serious car accident two others badly injured, rumours of drink driving with criminal charges being brought.

Thought that was Madine?

 

[Wards]

Stroking Sol Bamba’s crotch...(according to Wiki)
