Ryan Mendes

A Google search shows his contract appears to run until 2017.

With him turning 26 in January, and being allowed out on loan, you'd assume he will be available. Wonder how much they value him at. They paid around 2m for him.

I suspect he won't cost and arm and a leg because Lille aren't keen on him due to his injury problems in the past. Can't see them wanting over a million for him.

I also suspect any transfer fee required will certainly not matter because his wages are relatively low compared to players of similar ability. We need to develop a transfer policy of higher transfer fee's and lower wages, and not the other way around (which is what we have been doing). That way even if players don't perform massively, somebody else will be willing to take them off you without us having to pay them off.

Injury problems ? Let's just see how he gets on this season then ? Still early in the season.

Curious what people think of him. He makes good runs and gets in good positions but frustrates when he doesn't beat his man most of the time when trying to dribble past players(bit like Paterson used to). I still thought he was useful tonight with his energy and running. Shame he didn't quite get that chance in the net

Still has the makings of a very good player and has all the tools. He just needs to work on his decision-making, but that is something you can coach.

Awesome tonight, would have been my MOTM if ince and Vaughan wouldn't have played.
 

Heffing Psycho!

Ran like an absolute nutcase tonight which was invaluable, Christie and especially Warnock struggled with balls in behind purely because of his pace. I think once he sticks one chance away he'll start scoring more often, he tries spectacular shots a bit too much but if he starts putting the easy ones away its forgivable, he does get into the right positions. Pinillos and Vaughan cover his defensive work for the most part, however I do think he does more going back than Antonio did, he's enigmatic in the way he plays and that's not a bad thing at all.

Wouldn't keep his shirt for me. Missed two good chances. Yes his runs were clever and he certainly kept running but looked for one trick too many on numerous occasions and defensively, he was lazy.

He's a bit too much of "But I want to do it myself" player still, but a very impressive performance overall, I think. Should have scored a well-deserved goal when Pinillos crossed it perfectly for him.

To be fair, when he's running with the ball surrounded by 4 players and not one Forest player near him, what's he meant to do? He ran at defenders and defenders don't like that, it caused them problems and made their defence sit back. If he had a couple more options to pass to it would help him. Stats show he had a 92% pass success rate and he did plenty of defensive work, especially in front of Lichaj in the second half. You don't expect a young, foreign lad to come in on loan and work like he has been. Tom Ince didn't. f*** Tom Ince.

Seriously? Yes he carries it too far sometimes but... Seriously?

Class player, Lets face it he would not be playing in the second tier of English football if he scored goals for fun and played the perfect pass every time.
That is Messi.

The Goat is blatant quality. There will come a point, hopefully, where we are playing regularly with some of the ablity we showed tonight. At that point, we will be better able to afford his indiscretions and the players around him will be better set to capitalise on his glories. You can't imagine Fryatt, Assombalonga, Cohen, Reid and Tesche failing to benefit from his contributions. He's flair, sure, and he takes it too far with his runs, too many touches and so on presently. But he's adapting. He's visibly just about there. It's clearly a learning process for him and you can see that happening. His mistakes don't define him, he doesn't let them. His belief is as tangible as his ability. It's going to click one match soon and when it does, I'll be glad I'm not lined up against him.

Freedman's brought in some good players. It wasn't remotely easy for him. Credit where it is due.
