Bertuzzi44 Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 He looked quick against Milan, and has been playing regularly. I'd say he's fit. dyslexic nam and Cblake 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Club Linesman Posted November 9, 2020 Share Posted November 9, 2020 He definitely looks stockier than I remember. And shorter for some reason. Always thought he was about 5’11 or so but he looks pretty short in Ligue 1. Cblake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the highest potential rank goes to Gravenberch, Camavinga, Ansu Tati and Haaland. Davies up there, with Kulesevski. At least this is a fresh and less cliche take than most we read. Makes me want to pay more attention to a few players I have not really watched. We have an even younger kid at Barça now, Pedri, still 17 and a Canary Islander like Silva, who is really impressing, starting, scoring, a marvel of a footballer who wasn't on anyone's radar for this Golden Boy.

Didn’t know Gravenberch was that highly touted but I do know Holland from 2022-2028 are expected to be the best they’ve ever been, led by Gravenberch.

El Diego Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Lille fans are turning on this guy, based on what they're saying online. Hard to be surprised. Lille have invested too much into him to not be patient, but he needs to buck up. Side note, I started a game with Lille in Football Manager 2021... looks like they have a promising attacking midfielder out on loan (Angel Gomes). Never heard of the guy, but maybe next season he can inject some creativity into the team.

(Before anyone asks, yes I sold Ikone) Angel Gomes has just signed on a free transfer from Manchester United. He was very highly rated for quite some time but he didn’t seem ready to make the step up, and apparently wanted first team salary to re-sign. Fair play to Lille to sign him and get him to agree to go out on loan right away. Will be interesting to see how he progresses in the next few years.

I think they're being harsh (one poster said he doesn't do any defending, which is ridiculous), but I think it's very understandable why they are frustrated. Some appear to also be questioning his fitness. Cblake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SthMelbRed Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Putting aside the fact that Jonathan David's current scoring drought is temporary, it's quite clear that Lille have generally looked better with David on the pitch, even when he doesn't score. In their best performance of the season, when they decisively beat a decent Milan side, he was one of the best players throughout. He makes the players around him play better, both through the things that he does and the space he creates. I was very pessimistic going into that match, more due to the way the team was set up to play than David's admittedly under par performances up to that point. However, after that game, I can say that I'm confident that he'll continue to get picked because he's just better than the alternatives, and that he'll start putting up numbers eventually. I predict that, come season's end, his overall goals/assists totals will be respectable. Next season, he gets back to somewhere closer to his Belgian numbers. johnyb and Cblake 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertuzzi44 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I'd put his league over/under right now at 10. Who takes what? 😄 Cblake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floortom Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 I’d be very pleased with 6+ at this point. He’s not a regular in the starting XI which is one big problem Obinna and Cblake 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmen Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Under. I think the adjustment to Ligue 1 has been harder than we all thought it would be, and while it's easy to say "he just needs to get one to get his confidence back", he still needs to get that one.
