Soumare himself said "I am not leaving in the january window" on Monday.
Lille want him sold since his agent is a cunt. But Soumare himself does not want to move.

Should but we won't just in case we end up like Leeds
That's as maybe, the fact is they wouldn't be selling their highest goalscorer over the past three and a half years if the player hadn't expressed a wish to leave.
Just been on sky saying hes off
It makes it easier if the player wants to leave.
Im sure we could persuade him.
Enic Propaganda at it's absolute best.
I think we (the fans) still want a CDM but apparently that's a bit old fashioned or something.
Another factor in this is need. We don't need Soumaré. He's not a DM rather he is in a similar role to Gedson, Winks and Tanguy. We're fairly stacked when it comes to ball carrying central midfielders.
Winks is crap. So we only have Gedson and Tangay
I do share his opinion for the most part, but his arguments sometimes are a bit wack.
In my opinion it's a bit paradoxical that he thinks that he is in a position to criticize Poch and that the ones he doesn't agree with regarding Levy aren't. (Yeah I do admit this is a rough interpretation)
In the end, Poch and Levy were both part of the problems we faced, neither was 0% or 100% responsible
Jokes on you I'm watching him on sunday live v PSG. Levy should really give me a call, since my opinion is much more reliable than the scouts.#nextlevel

He's not the next Modric that doesn't exactly means he's crap. He is good enough to play for this club, he loves the club and gives his all everytime he's on the pitch.
I feel bad for occassionally insulting him on match threads.
It is difficult times like this when you begin to trully appreciate players like him.
This is where I land. Levy should have forced a DoF into the structure and spent far more cash beefing up our scouting and analytics departments. That blame is entirely at his feet.
But Poch was not a great identifier of young talent, either in the club or outside of it. The entire core of his best teams were at the club by the end of summer 2015 prior to him getting the Manager title. He was great at getting the absolute most out of players, but not so great and understanding who those players should be.

This is a bad take. You've taken a specific situation and generalized it in an attempt to make bad reasoning, sound. Similarly, those that dismissed a young player with superior athletic ability based on conventional wisdom were wrong too.
Adama Traore had threat, massive threat that was always there. Only a fool could not see it. Sure, his end product was wonky (still not great but has improved) but he disrupted teams and had a certain set of skills that were unplayable, skills that were beyond that of other players in the league. The reason you wait on/nurture that type of situation is because if he does put it together then you've got something. This is not a situation where you wait out mistakes so the player is ultimately able to make the bench.
This is similar to early Walker and his brainfarts. You persist with that because the raw materials are such that when/if he becomes more consistent his ability will shut down your whole right flank. And if your manager cannot gameplan with 1 side of the field shutdown he is shit or you've got other problems.
Persisting with someone like KWP and hoping he puts it together gets you where? When/if he puts it together what do you have? When he hits top form what benefits does a team expect to derive?
I've only posed those last questions as a means of comparison and not given my opinion. Each can answer for themselves but I will say that at no point ever will KWP carry as much threat as Traore or be as defensively imposing as Walker and that just goes back to the raw materials.
So your initial point neglects to consider the upside and time relative to benefit of waiting on a young player and the opportunity cost therein.

If only all the players had the passion of Winks and Lamela, we would have 10-15 more points this season. And he isn't as crap, he just doesn't set the World on fire.
