2017/18 Ademola Lookman

[Mickey]

Like it or not lads but you've got to be able to do the business both ways in the premier league, attacking and defending. From what I've seen he can do one not t'other.

But he's 20 he can learn that. Bolasie is done. We should have been building for next season with lads like this....

 

[Zezti]

He'd be a Wenger type player...

Oh hello, the post I was responding too was that Allardyce apparently said he was rubbish- I don’t think he said jog on either though??? If I remember Fat Sam said it was Lookman’s wishes to go out on loan on the clubs?

He said he'd be better off going to Derby than going to Leipzig. That is mid-table of the championship versus top half of the bundesliga in a team playing in Europe (at the time). He didn't literally say "jog on" but he clearly had no intention of playing him and publicly chastised him for wanting to play at a higher level than his manager believed he was capable of. What is the message Allardyce was sending if it wasn't "you're rubbish"?

So coach him, unless we don't have any coaches at the club?

He was living in a hotel mate, he clearly hates Liverpool.

Maybe he hates some of his Everton team mates?

Maybe he hates the smell of the Mersey?

Hes a clever lad.

Maybe he hates the smell of gravy!

Or loan him out?. I'm saying this for people who think he should be playing for us now, he shouldn't imo.

Did you watch the derby at Anfield

Where maybe he'll be coached how we want him coached or maybe he won't. I'd have been all for a loan (and for the record, I think his current loan will do him the world of good for wherever he ends up) if we were well covered in his position but we sold Lennon and only have Walcott and Bolasie left and Bolasie is a parody of a player.

Cameos and goosing part-timers he's done alright. Anytime he's started he's looked lightweight and suspect defensively.

Whereas Bolasie has looked like a world beater

Completely agree great point. However you can coach a muppet form league one positional sense & to track runners you can’t coach a 20 year old to do what he can do. His flaws are so so easily ironed out it’s comical that people think he isn’t good enough as he has flaws. Gueye can’t pass 6 yards 4 or 5 yards sound but that’s not his job to pass further & when he plays bad it’s because the balance around him isn’t right.

I’ll tell you right now if both were put up for sale the clamour wouldn’t be for Gana.

Bolasie has been playing left back and I'm no fan of Bolasie.

Your posts imply that we have plenty of better options than Lookman. Aside from Walcott, who have we got?
