InglewoodJack Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 If he does stay at Lille and moving forward I'm gonna assume he is, what do we think a successful season looks like? I'd like to see him hit 20 non-penalty goals. I think he was at 14 this year, so more or less the same lift he had from two seasons ago to this one. Saw something about Neymar insisting on leaving PSG this summer- if both he and Mbappe leave this year, I think Lille should just go for it. Won't pretend I know much about the Ligue 1 landscape, but I think him capping off his French career with his best season ever and a title as the team's star would be such a cool story to follow. Looking back, I almost have a twisted appreciation for all of those 9 AM lile games where absolutely nothing happens for the first 80 minutes.

They are joints 4th favourites in England at least - 33/1. That compares to PSG - 3/10, Marseilles - 12/1, Monaco - 28-1, Lens - 33/1. The Icelandic kid looks decent and Angel does at times but not sure what else is better there. There is a Portuguese fullback who wants the Bamba role of taking silly shots all the time. jhoops__ and InglewoodJack 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buying him was probably contingent on selling David, but if they can pull it off, that would be a nice little striker pairing to try out too.

InglewoodJack Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 Looks like Nkunku is gonna be out for months. I wonder if Chelsea would have any interest in taking David on for a loan with option to buy or something. jhoops__ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InglewoodJack Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Sounds like the implication is that LOSC should be a club that competes for a Champions League spot and unless they can both be wowed by an offer and find a replacement that can maintain that level, he's staying with them. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Recently there seemed to be some PSG rumblings, but they just signed a young no. 9 from Benfica, so that likely puts the kibosh on that one. I didn't want David at PSG anyway, but it would have obviously been an upgrade and he would have won some more silverware. He would have also been locked into Ligue 1, which I don't think he wants (or we want for him). I am fully prepared for him to stay at Lille this season, which is shocking because he seemed to be as sure a bet to move this offseason than any Canadian.

If he helps them back into Champions League this season any hit Lille would take for using up another year of his contract would be a good monetary investment. No doubt about it.

That’s really good for David but I would hate to see Oshimen go to Saudi, Hopefully a team like Bayern, PSG or Chelsea grab him instead and David moves to Napoli.

I doubt Oshimen would agree, but you never know. His place in the Nigerian team won't be impacted and he's young enough to go over there, come back to Europe a few years later, and still be in his prime.

InglewoodJack Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Scared to even think about what Oshimen’s salary would be in Saudi. But that would set off a pretty good chain events for JD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play a year or two there for money and then you go back to Europe and play wherever you want for honours. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frmr Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 At this point I'm hoping for Osimhen to SA and David to Napoli. I'm not even sure how high David is on Tottenham's list. Jack1997 and Obinna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Spurs is a team with unrealistic expectations that don't match with their agenda. Conte had the balls to say it loud n clear. I'd rather he go somewhere else. I think it's best not to force a move. Come the winter transfer window there will be injuries, poor performances and disgruntled players and relations. If more opportunities arise at this time then it may be better to hold off a few months. Edited August 10, 2023 by RojitoTO Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are Bayern looking at anyone else? Maybe David will sign there, or whoever their backup plan signs there which opens up another spot for David. Dominoes might start to fall regardless.
