Menez needs to be loaned out to a SERIE A team who will GUARANTEE him regular playing time, so he adjusts to the playing style and can become good player.

Can’t believe you guys are seriously entertaining the idea of loaning Menez out…it’s been 3 months, jebus.

Well, back when Menez came to Roma, I made the comment here that if he chose Roma in order to get into the French team, he might be making a mistake. (both because of Spalletti’s lack of playing time to young guys and Domenech’s distrust of players on Italian soil)

I haven’t seen anything to change my opinion on that. (good thing his agent doesn’t listen to me I guess)

Benzema is waaayy beyond being a pipe dream- Roma cannot outbid madrid, manure and co.

Here’s a thought- Assign Mexes to be the offical big brother for Menez to show him around town, good places to eat and party, share his hair-stylist etc. He might just smile.

Maybe Spal will give him more PT in the coppa matches, and more sub appearances (hopefully with more PT) to improve and adjust. He really should become a regular sub at least in matches where Roma is cruising- hopefully we’ll see more of those matches soon. Not to overestimate my own footie intelligence, but Menez should get at least 15-20 mins, rather than his customary 5-8 mins as a sub. I do not like the idea of a loan. Roma’s woeful lack of depth makes it nonsensical to send this guy out on loan when Taddei is a starter!

Excellent points, Samson. I never even thought about a loan to a lower serie a team, but that makes a lot of sense, if they were to go that route.

I dont know his history, but i would bet this is the first time he’s lived outside of France for any extended time, and with only one countrymen to keep him company.

Solution- buy Ben Arfa or Benzema

I don’t get it…why would you sign someone who has talent and is really young and then 3 months later send him off to another team????? I know he does not want to be a sub, and we all hope he becomes a starter sometime soon. The reality is that we need youth that is talented coming off the bench in case something happens to our veteran starters.
