TGAA_Star Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 5 minutes ago, Obinna said: Yeah Andre Ayew scored 15 goals in the Championship. He has Premier League experience. Would be a solid signing for a group short on EPL know-how. As for David, I think it's unanimous that Lille is the better move. I think it happens. Yeah of course but for David if he leaves to go to Lille, yeah sure he leaves a Champions League team in Gent but he goes to a better Champions League team in Lille. Plus the French Ligue 1 is a way better league for David to play in rather than playing in Belgian league where David is no longer really being challenged. Lille is a way better team than Gent anyway. At least Lille presents him with a new challenge and French Ligue 1 has some of the best players in the world playing there right now (Mbappe, Neymar, etc) Cblake, longlugan and Mikmacdo 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strait Red Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 I don’t think David seriously considered the PL sides, that might be the next step in his progression. Hopefully at that time, most of the clubs mentioned will be priced out of his services. Time to order a Lille jersey!

I saw that article here first and in that context it looks like a Chelsea fan rubbing in some premature salt. https://www.goal.com/en/news/no-arsenal-move-for-david-as-lille-agree-30m-deal-for-gents/1989r0eghqih91asmp9o3oi3tp I expect it to happen soon but I would doubt this (English) guy would be the one to break the news. Edit: From a Lille paper, I do like this partially translated subheading - "Optimism seems de rigueur for the arrival of Jonathan David (La Gantoise) among the Mastiffs." They do seem reasonably confident - "L’international canadien devrait donc, sauf – là aussi – renversement de situation, établir un double record. Il deviendrait la recrue la plus chère de l’histoire du LOSC devant Renato Sanches et Yusuf Yazici. Il serait aussi la meilleure vente d’un club belge en dépassant celle de Youri Tielemans (25 millions d’euros, Anderlecht vers Monaco)." https://www.lavoixdunord.fr/848181/article/2020-08-05/mercato-gabriel-choisi-arsenal-jonathan-david-se-rapproche-du-losc Edited August 6, 2020 by WestHamCanadianinOxford Cblake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obinna Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 (edited) If this goes through as expected, David becomes the record transfer for a Canadian international and for a Belgian pro league player, right?
