Hopefully the management is being serious and offers Mendi the contract that he deserves (in terms of $). We can’t treat him as a very low cost option after what has been achieved… it’s not the same situation as when he was first appointed here. The offers for him from other clubs are surely piling up.
The management is most likely trying to use the recent momentum and euphoria to try and low ball him… but it might not work.
We need Mendi for at least another season here, at all costs!
That would be really dissapointing honestly, even Castro bragging about it during the celebrations euphorically like we offered the man a new contract. If it’s not a very upgraded on it’s just sad.
I loved how neutral Mendi was at the press conference for if or if not he would continued basically saying the job on hand, is what he did. Save the season of whats left of it in 3 months. That’s what he did (In a fucking spectacular way) but that’s the job done. If they manage to solve it and continue on a new contract, brilliant. If they can not, either way brilliant and thanks for everything.
But he 100% deserves it that doesn’t mean it’s the direction the board is looking for, which I can understand.

Pragmatic fella…
this is awesome. he got his wish. he won a cup 
Hopefully many more to come!
Think YEN can be that one with a bruiser up top?
Hopefully, him and Ocampos are accomplished one-on-one beaters and can create their own magic. Navas and Suso can create overloads on the right hand channel with Suso cutting in for his complimentary far corner shot. That’s been the main gameplan since Lope assembled this squad, would like a shakeup but can’ really think anyone who can do that.
More about not playing to YEN’s strengths, but to be fair YEN himself is a bit of an enigma, he has some pace and heading ability but no physical presence. Somehow Lope and Sampaoli managed to get something out of him. I think through balls will suit him nicely so the question is do they continue with a 433 with only wingers supporting him or have a dedicated attacking mid to help string attacks in the centre. Mind the current crop aren’t up to scratch or can’t contribute on a consistent basis.
Renewed!!! 1 year!
Confirmation! Absolutely brilliant news.

So, seems like the Twitter sphere is finally catching up with our recent observation that Mendi doesn’t understand how language works or somehow thinks that of you can’t understand his remarks in old man castellano, you can’t be trusted in the starting XI, 
Some tweets:

Apparently Mendi said something to the press after the match to the effect of “some of the players aren’t starting yet because they still don’t understand me”.
Not sure if it was more specific than that or if he specifically mentioned not understanding Spanish, will have to dig up the press interviews he did.
He seemed to have said exactly that, that some don’t understand his ideas yet because of the language.
Painful to have that type of manager.
I would expect that kinda thing in Italy where gameplans are said to be very tactical. I guess that’s just how old-school Mendi is. 
With how global the game has gotten, it’s a bit disappointing to hear. But all in all, Dodi & Bouba will pick up Spanish fairly quickly.
Though my first thought when hearing this was: “oh, brilliant, Mendi! Now they’ll spend all the mental power on learning Spanish rather than learning the actual system!”
Anyways, I’m sure they’ll learn both. Not to mention, I think a few matches of seeing the subs play better than Suso and Oliver and (God help us) Joan Jordan, and Mendi will start getting the message that these guys may not speak or understand Spanish perfectly, but they can definitely play.
One final comment on this issue. Why the hell doesn’t the team have two roving translators on the side of the bench to make sure they hear and can repeat anything Mendi says in old-man-Spanish?
Couple other tweets, one with the comments by Mendi and another comical one:

He also says Sergio played because Soumaré doesn’t understand him. Doesn’t even make sense, playing a Centre back instead of a defensive mid. Why would you even consider Soumaré and Sergio at the same position. Or is language the base of his whole system, so if we had 6 Spanish midfielders, he would play 3-6-1? Shameful press conference overall.
I mean some of those balls from Ramos makes me think he could play cdm!
Yes of course he can, but it’s besides the point. Its completely crooked. You don’t get Ramos to play him there, nor do you get Soumaré to play him centre back. So why compare them like that and say, well language is the problem. So that’s why I choose Ramos and put him centre back Ok mendi
agree
