Either way, money don't lie, so if they're calling him one of the most underrated forwards in Europe, that means something. We're also going to start a dialogue on why one player in france who has 8 goals on the season is going to get transferred for 150 million euros, and another player with 8 goals in france is apparently not worth 50 million euros. seems to be what some finance people would call a "market inefficiency" If he avoids a scoring drought this season, his value is going well north of 50MM. Teams will be regretting not getting him while he was cheap. WestHamCanadianinOxford and Jack1997 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yeah, I think a lot of smart teams will see JD as the moneyball counterpart to the Mbappe sweepstakes. You can pay 150M (I heard Liverpool might bid up to 400M??) for Kylian Mbappe, or you can pay a modest 50-70M for Jonathan David, and at the end of the season, production won't be drastically different. Certainly not 100M different. WestHamCanadianinOxford, PegCityCam, Nello and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If literally anyone aside from David starts scoring, they have a decent chance of making it. Hell, they might sneak into Europe just off the back of how good JD has been.

InglewoodJack Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 (edited) We’ve got ourselves a new league leader for goals. Brace for our man i think that’s 7 of the last 10 Lille goals are JD?

VinceA Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 You know that meme from years ago "Doesn't matter, had sex" I think of that whenever people point out David's been scoring penalties as of late to slight his goalscoring record.
