Buggsteam Posted 2 July 2021 Posted 2 July 2021 Dont understand this one. Was the first player we was linked with and strong rummours the deal was done. Yet its all gone very quiet on this one now and a rummour that Liverpool are now intrested in him
lcfc_forever Posted 2 July 2021 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

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
coolhandfox Posted 2 July 2021 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.

lgfualol Posted 2 July 2021 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.

An Sionnach Posted 2 July 2021 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.

Realistically how far are Lille likely to go in the CL. More likely to get more European games with us I’d have thought.

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

moore_94 Posted 2 July 2021 Posted 2 July 2021 Just now, An Sionnach said: PSG reached the SF so they would be confident in reaching the knock out stages. Only need to look at how even their title winning manager has jumped ship to Nice to see how much this is expected to be a one off occurence

Maybe he wants to test himself in the Premier League? 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.

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

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
An Sionnach Posted 2 July 2021 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.

An Sionnach Posted 2 July 2021 Posted 2 July 2021 Do anybody really think he is going to give up a starting position with the French champions to sit on our bench? 1

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? Edited 2 July 2021 by Zaphod Beeblebrox

Lille are absolutely skint and won't be anywhere near the title next season. They're selling their squad pretty much. 2
