For starters it looks like they will be relegated and I doubt David would be joining a team that will play in the Championship. I see they spent 22 million pounds on Wesley from Club Brugges for their Premier League season, but will they spend that sort of cash to bring David in for their 2020-21 Championship season? Highly unlikely. Then in that case Everton or West Ham but would be more of a scoring threat playing for West Ham than he would be on Everton Cblake and Peggy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much rather him go to Germany I mean, my German friend was telling me that overall his country is very welcoming but some parts of the country (including Leipzig) are far more "nationalist". I'd like David to go somewhere where I'd be able to easily watch him week in week out. Germany is great for that, Premier league would be great too (assuming he can get in the lineup) Cblake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baulderdash77 Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 I’d like to see him in the Bundesliga for him, but if he was in Series A or the Premier League that would be good because I could see the games on DAZN Cblake and TGAA_Star 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus if he were to go to Monaco yeah sure he would most likely have to fight for genuine minutes but looking at Monaco's striker line they have Slimani, Gelson Martins, Jovetic, Keita Balde, Willem Geubbels, Ben Yedder but yeah they have stars but he would still be able to get minutes no doubt especially in that offense. I mean what Monaco is mostly about now is their midfield and if you take a look at their midfield right now, it is loaded but David is not a midfielder. He is a striker and seeing the strikers on that team he would give them some real competition. Cblake and Peggy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So then Italian clubs I'm sure can and so could English or Dutch clubs or German clubs or even Spanish clubs because they at least have the money. Yeah a lot of clubs were linked before but now only a certain amount now are linked to him but because of this transfer window who even knows anymore because of this COVID-19 crisis.

Unnamed Trialist Posted May 10, 2020 Share Posted May 10, 2020 In spite of Barça rumours, lately all news here is about possible trades and exchanges, oddly enough. The lack of cash may be shifting the transfer model into a a trade model, more in the North American sports league style. For example, since Barça want Lautaro but don't seem to have the cash to pay for him, all sorts of names are being proposed to lower the cash part of the deal. Since Barça wants to do this, obviously no one here is going to want to go to Gent. So the likely deals will be made with teams with a top level salary structure. A player from Gent can be bought, but you are not going to sweeten the deal for the Belgians with any player on the 1st team roster, obviously. Gent is going to want cash and only cash, plus more cash for objectives reached by the transfered player. Cblake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 We may as well speculate on the teams that have actually been mentioned as possible destinations. I don't think Roma has, but I may have just missed it. David scored against them in the Europa league, so you'd think they'd be interested, because some of their rivals are. I think Roma would be a good level for him. I think he can do better than Fiorentina and obviously Palermo. Cblake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly my point we may as well speculate and spitball ideas as for teams where he would be a good fit. Roma would be a good fit but if he did go to Fiorentina, he would be an instant starter on that team if you see their lineup.
