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!!!!

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.
 
agree but it also happens outside of football. Staying at one company doesn’t usually lead to the highest wage. Bouncing between a few competitors and requesting salary raises at each opportunity, is the key to maximising earnings.

imo Neil’s error has been not accepting contracts earlier on higher wages and trusting the club would let him go if/when he wanted. He could have been on 15-20k a week the championship for the past year but decided to chance running his contract down. Bellingham by contrast, signed a new deal mid season and then still left.

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.
 
I’ve tried my will hit like crack tweet that kept becoming right all last season.

I’m pulling out all of the stops <laugh>

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.

Leeds fans are relentless like

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.

Watching that video, Rigg looks a similar height to Isidor now who’s 6’1. Looks like he’s grew
He's only just turned eighteen mind. So I'd say he'll grow some more. And fill out.

Get him signed up!
