Lyon are already moving for a player that will come in based on Bruno leaving. They are not going to be shifting the price around, pretty certain they are just ironing out the details on the payment schedule etc. 

Isn't the player Lyon are signing an attacker/winger though? (No idea if anyone else in their squad can fill in for Bruno)

Aye, they clearly aren't far apart in their valuations. We never got close with Botman or Carlos.

I’m just referring to the news yesterday we had agreed a deal and now all of a sudden it’s a different price etc. Obviously he could be talking rubbish of course

They have Caqueret and Thiago Mendes that are also central midfielders.

 

Favre is an attacking midfielder, yes, however Lyon have played with a number of different formations, and so it might not be a direct like for like change, as it will depend on how they are looking to shape the team going forward.

 

The key thing is that they are unlikely to have been spending the sum of money they are on Favre unless they felt confident money was coming in, as their current financial situation is not that strong, and they are not goign too well in the league at the minute so may well be out of Europe next season.

I've never been so excited for a player I've never heard of, a bit of Dennis Wise scouting though and I'm really impressed with how he reads the game. He has so many attributes that we are missing in midfield, he could really transform us.

We we’re also linked with Paqueta earlier in the window, I’m presuming he is a more attacking midfielder.

Do not walk away. Please. This is the most important deal we could make this window imo. Incredible quality in our weakest position. This is the one you compromise and overpay for. 

You're very pessimistic.

Seeing as there is a bit of 90's nostalgia around the place.
