[NOT HAPPENING] Bacary Sagna

According to the Mercury we're interested.

The lad's 34 and we're already well covered at right back anyway, but I'd still love him to come. Such an elegant player. I looked at him very enviously when he was at Citeh.

Someone mentioned that maybe Femenia is going to be used further forward, so I suppose there's a slight possibility he could come in as back up for Janmaat.

 

can never have enough right backs

 

I always say if you ve got loads of RBs, CMs and CBs you dont need strikers, wingers, keepers or LBs.

 

Yes especially 34 year olds on the slide but still costing a packet !

 

Beast

 

Elegant? 34y/o and turns 35 halfway through the season? Bound to want a packet in wages? I sometimes wonder what planet some of our fans live on. This is the exact type of signing we should be going NOWHERE near.

 

I suspect the reason we've enquired about Fosu-Mensah is because we would like a cheap option to compete with Janmaat.

Femenia can easily play the right wing role, and it wouldn't surprise me if we use him primarily in this position.

Sagna is certainly a very good player, even at his age. He can play right back and centre half, but he would not be a cheap option even as a free agent, so I don't think there's too much in this.

 

No problem with this. Unless he takes up a slot in the 25 man squad.

 

Would be competition for Doyley

 

Wouldn't usurp Nigel Gibbs.

 

Its China, Middle East, US etc for Bacary, I would say. They can match his wage requirements and his age will match the standard of football.
