HybridFox Posted 2 July 2021 Share Posted 2 July 2021 Honestly thought he'd be the first player announced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lcfc_forever Posted 2 July 2021 Share Posted 2 July 2021 Chill out. Romano says it's done, and Tanner has pretty much said the same thing. There was a story about 10 days or so ago to say he would be on his way around now to the UK so he can complete the medical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing I read this morning was from a Liverpool fan page that wanted them to go in for Soumare because we got Daka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coolhandfox Posted 2 July 2021 Share Posted 2 July 2021 Why do people think the club is in a rush to do the official thing, by then all the difficult stuff is done. There is not need for them to rush it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lgfualol Posted 2 July 2021 Share Posted 2 July 2021 Waiting to announce him with the 2nd kit is my guess. Soumare in France and the shirt we sent has been going through the Brexit customs process for the last 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Sionnach Posted 2 July 2021 Share Posted 2 July 2021 We must be paying him well as I still don't understand why he would give up a regular starting position in a CL qualified team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lille are highly likely to be ripped apart this summer and with just 1 year left on his deal he probably feels now is a good time to come over and test himself in the Premier League Of course he will get a pay rise when he joins us, Lille's highest wage is about £50k a week and he could earn that here as a bench player Edited 2 July 2021 by moore_94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of players have moved from big clubs with CL football in other leagues to come over here and test themselves, it isn't just all about money. Not bother to think about how impressed he may be by the project we have outlined to him? Maybe he feels like the tide is turning at Lille with even their manager being poached by Nice who finished 9th? Rather harsh to think he has only joined us because of money.

Another thing is, isn't he supposed to be a close friend of Edouard and when we were almost certain to sign him , that could have influenced his decision. I still think its the sell- on clause that could be holding this up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if they are close friends, just they are friends from the French youth teams, same with Fofana Edited 2 July 2021 by moore_94 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because contrary to what’s spouted on here, most players don’t prioritise being in the champions league over everything else. What really matters is progression, money, and being in a bigger shop window that opens more avenues to the big clubs. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
An Sionnach Posted 2 July 2021 Share Posted 2 July 2021 Seems likely he has been promised a starting position , which would mean changes for us in midfield. The one thing you are least prepared to give up is your name on the team sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASS U ME. Never assume anything in life. Stick to fact. A big increase in wage and exposure in a bigger league may help but what do I know?

Yes. Lille are absolutely skint and won't be anywhere near the title next season. They're selling their squad pretty much. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
