Nathaniel Mendez-Laing

[swaledale]

I'd be far happier passing judgment if I:

a) had an idea about the lad as a player
b) knew why he was, basically, sacked by Cardiff
c) why no other team has gone for him so far

We already have 2 "players with issues". Do we need a third? Ibe has his mental health issues as does Lawro. Mendez-Laing appears to have a not in the public eye issue. A risk too far?

I put my faith in the club not to take too great a risk. If they sign him he will be deigned to be no great risk.

I guess if he is free then worth a punt, but I would still be concerned, presumably we did "due diligence" with Ibe or did we just say he's a potential quality player on a free and find it out why he hasn't played much afterwards?

I'd rather we had taken Keogh back but i guess we will see.
