Benjamin Mendy

[Kenny Powers]

Haven’t seen it mentioned yet.
Cleared of all charges, at two trials.
Free agent, looking to rebuild his career.
Massive upgrade.
Premier league and international experience.
Are his injury issues behind him?
Would he be willing to accept a sensible wage to get his career back on track in the PL?

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

No, no and King Evans sized no!

 

[YES Blade]

I thought exactly the same when I heard he’d been cleared, he plays in a position we need to strengthen, so I’d sign him.

I’d imagine he’ll probably want to leave England after this and also get offered higher wages than we can afford.

 

[Argentinemanager]

Id guess at saudi on a fortune

 

[Kev Gee]

He's probably finished as a player at a high level after so much time out.
Will probably move to Saudi or something.

 

[robbiez666]

Very much 'fuck no' territory.

Think of all the injuries the lads will get rom his sex parties.

 

[MightyBlades]

Absolutely not! He's a filthy whore-monger, innocent of the charges, or not.

We've had enough bad eggs at the club in the past and it never ended well. Let's not go down that path again!

 

[BridBladesman]

The focus would be on SU all for the wrong reasons

 

[mattbianco1]

Get Greenwood too

 

[NateDogg]

Are we some sort of offender rehabilitation centre? (yes I know they haven't legally done anything wrong but they clearly aren't very decent guys are they)

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Are we some sort of offender rehabilitation centre? (yes I know they haven't legally done anything wrong but they clearly aren't very decent guys are they)

King had and we still signed him anyway.

 

[Davalon]

Fuck no!

 

[Frank the tank]

Regardless of the controversy that surrounds him he barely played for citeh in the time he was contracted and when he did he was a bit of a joke

 

[NateDogg]

King had and we still signed him anyway.

I know exactly. Plus Ched. Any more?

 

[Carlton Blade]

I'll defend anyone's right to a fair trial and to be allowed to earn a living as they see fit if innocent or served their time.

I also wouldn't want him anywhere near United

 

[8lade]

Let's avoid this one, the BBC are again looking for something to deflect attention away from them let somebody else cop for it this time.

 

[Katzenjammer]

I only object to him coming here because we have previous with stuff like this and the mud ends up sticking to the club.

But he has every legal and moral right to fully resume his career without being judged guilty in the eyes of others.

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

Let's avoid this one, the BBC are again looking for something to deflect attention away from them let somebody else cop for it this time.

The irony being the fact that distraction was the whole reason The Sun went on a BBC witch-hunt anyway.
Ex Tory chancellor caught having sex with 16 year old who could hardly standup. - no story.
Boris not releasing the messages mandated by a court order - no story.
Boris having cosy meetings without aids with KGB operatives and then putting one in the House of Lords despite concerns being raised by practically everyone involved - no story.
BBC newsreader doing nothing illegal but it has a potential gay angle even though the story was disputed by the apparent victim but the parents sold a story anyway - huge exposure.

Actually the BBC has given it far more coverage that it deserved because they’re frightened to death of being attacked from the Tory party and their supporters.

 

[8lade]

Flatulent_Bob let the BBC and The Sun fight each other don't give them a chance to bring The Blades into it. Watching the sickening way the BBC piled into the Ched Evans case to deflect from their involvement with Jimmy Saville was horrific - funny old thing there was barely a peep from the ITV about the Evans case.

ITV went fucking bonkers over Schofield which while saying nothing about Cheryl Cole getting pregnant with a much younger lad she potentially groomed if what Scofield did is some sort of bar. There’s hypocrisy all round and I hope The Suns actions brings about a whole load of new Levison legislation.
I can’t remember the BBC being particularly vicious to Evans aside from reporting he was a convicted sex offender, which he was at that time, but they could have.
None of his appeal success changes the fact He was also a fucking idiot and should shoulder the lions share of responsibility for the pigs beating us to promotion and negatively impacting the reputation of the club, the moron.
By the sounds of it Mendy is also a fucking idiot which is why I wouldn’t want him anywhere near us either.

 

[Tickhill Blade]

I know exactly. Plus Ched. Any more?

I'm sure we've done an ex-blades criminal record XI on here before. Charlie Hartfield, Marcus Bent, Ashley Sestanovich, Vinnie Jones...

 

[Gin&Juice]

Marlon King (Cunt), Bradshaw went to jail for assault, but I think that was after us and stupid as it was, shouldn’t be compared to King, Evans, Mendy etc.

 

[Liaminho9]

Yeh his knees are shot and he’s not kicked a ball in 2 years.
Steer well clear.

 

[YES Blade]

Yeh his knees are shot and he’s not kicked a ball in 2 years.
Steer well clear.

Even with that being the case, he’s still probably better than Max Lowe!

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

He's probably finished as a player at a high level after so much time out.
Will probably move to Saudi or something.

Hes better than our LWBs currently

 

[moody1889]

Footballing ability wise it would be a no brainer but would he fit in the dressing room with his lifestyle as he was?

If he is determined to change and lead a better life away from the party lifestyle then the Lane would be the best place for him.

But as ever I think there would be many clubs ahead of us able to offer much bigger wages.

 

[BigBed]

And so it goes on, persecuted for, apparently, being innocent of any wrong doing, exactly like Ched!
The man has been found innocent! As in NOT GUILTY!, but its the same old story, kick a man whilst he's down, dont give him a chance, write him off.
Its this attitude that causes problems.
Id sign in in a heartbeat if we could, hes a brilliant footballer, and thats what we need.

 

[NerdyBlade]

Absolutely not
Aside from I was never convinced of his ability before the accusations, the fact that many on here want anyone with his baggage is ludicrous to me.

Also find it very difficult to accept a lot of people proclaiming his innocence - has been found legally innocent but there's also the fact that the conviction rate for Rape cases is embarrassingly low so bare that in mind

 

[Antonb]

This guy is innocent. I know someone who dated him for a while. She says no way did he do or is capable of doing what he was charged with. And it seems like that was the case.

 

[Caseh]

King had and we still signed him anyway.

Yeah because the fanbase were absolutely delighted by that
