Jonathan David

He is cheaper compared to other options we are looking at. Most strikers available would range between 60-80m in this current market and someone like Osimhen would be worth well more than a 100m. If we can get him for somewhere around 40m-50m, I would be quite happy and look to add to the midfield

Moffi and Gouiri went for close to 30m if I'm correct, I don't think we'd be charged incredible amounts for him. The other choice would have been Toney around similar prices

Osimhen and Kolo Muani are 2 of my favourite options but both look too pricey at the moment

Gouiri was my choice as a cheaper surprise siging last summer as a back up and Greenwood replacement. Not really watched much French football this season though.

Its crazy we are talking of £50m odd as a cheaper option though, I still think we need two strikers this summer personally and I dont think David is good enough to be the main sriker here in a premiership challenging team, and £40-50m is too much for a second choice striker.

I think he is decent, but I don think he is potentially excellent as a lot of people do....then again I always thought Harry Kane was never going to be any good in his early career so maybe sign David up haha
 
I seen him at the World Cup!! He’s Southampton level.
I attended all of Canada's games at the WC, and he was definitely disappointing. I think if he converts the penalty against Belgium (which he should have taken) that Davies misses, his tournament might have been different.
 
Gotta say he'd looked real clumsy in this first half against the U.S

Balogun's quite slick, I guess Arsenal wouldn't sell to us, but his numbers are great and he just looks extremely quick and decisive out there.
 
He's been horrid in this 2nd half. First touch not good and he looks sluggish, which happens in some games.
 
Wouldn't go anywhere near him in the market. Would rather have the Porto striker whose name popped up a few days ago
 
Watched him a couple times now for Canada in the world cup and recently against the USA and he's been absolutely crap. i hope we stay far away from him.
 
Never looked close to impressive. I know the options are drying up but there has to be better than this guy.

Yeah another underwhelming option,much like I feel when I hear the name Goncalo Ramos
 
If Lille sells this guy, they will be in serious trouble this season. Already lost 4/5 key players at the end of the season, but loosing their main attacking threat would be the check-mate.
 
I have never been particularly impressed with David whenever I’ve seen him but I can’t say I’ve watched extensively. Is he even better than Jackson?

 
He looked like a really exciting talent a couple of years ago but he hasn't really kicked on. Still young yes but he doesn't look PL level right now.

You’d assume all of the big clubs have had a good look at him by now and they all seem to have opted against. He looks like the sort of player that a club might get caught out with due to his fee and contract situation.
 
Being Canadian, I want to see David make the move to the Premier League, but I just don’t see it yet. He was anonymous at the World Cup and in Canada’s last three vs Netherlands, France, and Argentina. I really hope he shows something in the next two vs Chile and Peru.

Reading that tweet again, I don’t know when Ornstein started doing this but it reads like a Romano style vague nothing tweet. No approach to Lille, one option among many etc.
 
Am I crazy for thinking he’s worth a punt, especially with 5 months left on his contract? I think he offers more than Zirkzee and we need more depth upfront. He can play in the #10s or up top. Not a starter week in week out.

I think Gyokeres may be a better option if you disregard the financial side of things, but the French league is obviously tougher than the Portugese league. Also he’s got a 0.75 G+A rate for some more than just one season, so this year isn’t just an outlier

Add to that that he’ll be at the end of his contract soon, yeah I agree he may be the best option out there for us
 
I’m hearing he could be available in the winter for about €20M, if so, that’s really good value.
 
No, why spend money when in a few months we will be able to get them on a free. PSR is something that we have to be wary about.
I think the idea behind buying now as opposed to the summer is on a free there’ll be more competition from other clubs so end up paying more in a signing on fee and wages so you don’t end up saving that much anyway. Plus the benefit of having players we clearly desperately need now
