Ademola Lookman

[Jags]

People act like you either start or you dont. If he stays, Lookman will get around 10 league starts, and a further 15 sub appearences, as well as some starts in the cup. Absolutely no reason to leave, that is plenty of football at his age

So what date does everyone reckon he's off then? I'm calling this Friday evening.

Better not be off. not when we have shelled out the fee we have for a lesser player.

We are in a situation with Lookman where it's who blinks first out of him, Everton (mainly Silva) or Leipzig. Currently it's in limbo and a resolution of some sort will be found. Either Lookman will accept he won't get his move currently or knuckle down seeing the opportunity. Leipzig will pay a figure we want (which would be high from them) or walk away, or Silva will state he's a problem for him and we need to compromise on the fee.

I think if he stays past August he will end up doing quite well for us. He is young, ambitious, intelligent but a little immature. He has obviously made his mind up, and Leipzig is a great place to go. However Everton could be very good for him too under Silva. I think he would work at his defensive discipline. He's a good coach and would help him. I hope he stays.

At the same time,I think he's a little overrated by fans. He's had good cameo's but not put a lot of consistency together.

The Club hold a lot of cards though, 3 year deal and a young lad who's unlikely to kick up a major fuss to get out. I think we will get a fee we want if we hold.

I think it may be done after the season is done though. As Leipzig get closer to the window.

I hope he stays. He's definitely got potential. I'd like to see him stay long enough to become a £50m player so 5 goals in 12 games should do it.

Problem is if he’s not starting games early season he’ll be demanding to leave by end of August I suspect.

And we aren’t putting Richarlison on the bench.

Brilliant, did you create the account just to make that joke and then spelt your username wrong?

But you need options in every position both can play all across the forward line.

German transfer window doesn’t close till 31st August, so we could still sell him after the Premier league window shuts

No

 

[billyblue80]

I don't want him to go as he could be cracking but I feel like he will be as soon as RB meet our valuation. Then we will be back to Mirallas as a back up ffs

Screw it. Let’s just play sexy ball then and let Sig play from box to box like he does for the Viking war lords.

Pickford
Coleman-Holgate-Jags-Baines
Gana-Siggy
Walcott-Lookman-Richy
Tosun

I dig it. No reason Lookman cant play in the middle, and no reason why we cant just attack attack attack.

We do and it would be brilliant if we could keep a player like Lookman for that purpose but some people want and need to play all the time. Can't blame him if he wants to go as we keep on buying players that are in front of him when it comes to starting (or coming on off the bench for that matter!), Walcott/Tosun/Richarlison plus hopefuls like Vlasic and when Henry finally gets his work permit have all been signed since Lookman joined.

Reminds me of Barkley when we went no.10 shopping crazy, although he should have been up for the fight some people naturally think that they should be shown the love and be untouchable on the team sheet. Obviously Barkley had more of a reason to feel like that seeing he was a starter in previous seasons anyhow but we don't know what Lookman was told when he signed on the dotted line...we will build a team around you yadda yadda I bet.

 

[Westend Blue]

I’d keep him to January at the very least if he kicks up a fuss sell him at a discount in 6 months or a year he’s only 20-21 so he won’t ooose much value
