However that's not to say he's not worth bringing in, or that he won't improve and be a lot better this season than last. Like Tomori he looked better the more he played. It was his first time playing men's football too with lots of changing around him in a side fighting for it's divisional life. I thought he looked a good loan.

EnigmaRam Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 I agree, all the loans coming in in Jan went through the ringer, battling for survival with lots of crap going on around the club. Hopefully anyone coming in this summer will have a fresh start and less pressure to deal with. RoyMac5, MickD and DCFCmaz 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B4ev6is Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 I was a little unsure of mengi when he first came he looked unready for any first team but as time grew he grew in concordance but hopefully a rather young Derby players that connection can be formed like when mount and wilson was here all on the same length.

Comrade 86 Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 Technically gifted and will be a very good player in time. I'm really pleased with this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ambitious Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I think young centre backs tend to take a while to develop, but then quickly make huge leaps. We saw it with Tomori. Michael Keane came here and was frighteningly bad, however it wasn't too much longer after he was with us that he developed into an established Championship centre back. You can take numerous examples, in fairness, so hopefully Mengi is the next to do so. I mean, we need him to do so, but ultimately he will need to be afforded time to develop and make mistakes.

Tomori had already had a loan at Hull, and I think somewhere else too, as well as being a year or 2 older. Hopefully we give him more than 2 games before getting in his back this season ?

BucksRam Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I like the Tomori analogy, spot on. Mengi seemed to get better and better each game, as he adjusted to a new level of football. I think he could end up being a great addition and be a name we're regularly calling out in the same way we did with Tomori. We do however need to give him a bit of leeway and accept he's bound to make mistakes as he learns and improves.

Brighton. I have a vague recollection of him coming on as a late sub against us, possibly at LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alty_Ram Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 1 hour ago, BriggRam said: Is he with us now Not a done deal yet. The local paper up here (Manchester Evening News) yesterday had an article titled 'Teden Mengi close to sealing second Manchester United loan exit'. Fans and club are so desperate for transfer news that I'm sure DCFC will make a big deal of this if it gets over the line. r_wilcockson and BriggRam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t help but pick people up on this, because it seems to have become a popular opinion in retrospect. I never remember he being bad. I always thought he looked like an aerially dominant and better on the ball version of Keogh. He had a stinker against Leicester when we were playing Jeff instead of Eustace but other than that I thought he looked class. If anything he’s not gone on to be as good as I thought he would.

Good signing if true. I think Menghi is 18 and you’d expect him to be improving massively. We started off playing him out of position where he looked very good on the ball but overall struggled a bit. When he settled in at CB I thought he looked the complete package in the making. I liked Tomori of course but I think Menghi has more talent. Great result if he and Clark return.

DCFC1388 Posted July 8, 2021 Author Share Posted July 8, 2021 I wonder if the embargo is why Mengi hasnt signed on loan yet as we will want a full season loan but the embargo means only half a season loan is allowed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramslad1992 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 I really hope this is announced at half time during the United game… he plays the first half for Man U and then just comes out in a Derby shirt 2nd half! archram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
