    Are Lille in any sort of need to sell? We might need to go quite close or even completely up to the asking price?

    it’s not my money - pay it Kyril you cheapskate!!!!

    I’ve tried to stay calm but I’ve just read the Fabrice tweet again and if that tweet swapped the words Sunderland and Bournemouth around I would 100% write it off and assume he was signing for Bournemouth.

    so by that logic…

    French league generally has money issues but Lille are supremely ran and develop and sell for big dollar.

    They also in CL for second straight year.

    In all likelihood they’ll have his replacement ready to step off the conveyor belt after him.

    This is the point, and gets to the heart of it.

    A good agent should always and absolutely prioritise the value of a bird in the hand, particularly for a young player who has still not set himself up for life.

    A player can do that early now, even in the championship, where at the end of the 23/24 season the average wage was around £14k a week.( Kevin McGuire).That includes relegated teams of course, but it also includes Plymouth and others who pay League One level wages.

    Next year is next year, and it may bring more money. But for a footballer next year is by no means certain to come. Just one bad tackle, one bad ligament ruptured, one accident and it's all done.

    Dan signing a contract along the lines you mentioned , say four or five years with caveats, would have set him up. He should be talking about an improvement not a new one.

    I don't know who his agent is, but as far as can be seen, he hasn't done the right thing by DN. Though of course, if the player moves and signs a new deal somewhere else, then the agent does very well.

    With Lammens seemingly off to Man U, could Matthieu Epolo be another option, as a young very promising keeper in the Belgian league? Any of the stats whizzes here know how he compared last season?

    that article suggests Lucumi might be unlikely:


    Bournemouth also saw an offer for Lucumi rejected earlier in the window and it's understood the Colombia international is currently keen to remain in Italy amid interest from Inter and Roma.

    Sunderland director of football Florent Ghisolfi previously tried to sign Lucumi during his time in Rome and an initial verbal proposal has already been knocked back.

    They might be right. Or they might have quoted the likely very small resale values of decent midfielders nearing thirty.

    Two canny players them mind. No better but definitely reasonable. They won't be getting any better though.

    He's only just turned eighteen mind. So I'd say he'll grow some more. And fill out.

    Get him signed up!
