Ademola Lookman

The Dan Gosling of this decade.

As for Lookman, he's been gone for ages. It's a matter of time - I honestly think his decision was made the moment we hired Sam Allardyce.

I see no evidence of a bad attitude; I just see a young man with common sense wanting to get out of a bad situation.

Or a young man not prepared to put the effort in to actually make a starting place his.

The fact that from what it seems he wants out. If Fat Sam was still here then I could understand but he isn’t. The fans had his back over how Fat Sam treated him. Like I said before he would have got game time now but it’s almost like he thinks he deserves to be starting every week which he shouldn’t be at the moment as what has he really done to warrant it?

I wanted to keep him but I don’t want players who clearly don’t want to be here.

You don't know for definite though.

So instead of coming to assumptions, just wait to see what happens?

As @Tubey said, maybe it's that. Maybe Lookman genuinely just wants a better chance of first team football and believes Leipzig will offer that. Maybe he just likes the club more than he likes Everton.

It doesn't mean he has a bad attitude. Did Lukaku have a bad attitude when he decided he wanted to re-sign for Everton after his initial loan deal?

Can someone point me to what he's supposedly posted on Instagram, please? Because I can't see anything.

He might not be going anywhere anyway. It looks unlikely he'll be staying, I admit, but we don't know yet either way.

I find this whole situation bizarre, We are working off assumptions and rumours more than facts and have to be very guarded about what we say.
I have seen Silva say that he wants to keep Lookman , I have heard nothing from Lookman at all indicating that he wants to stay or wants to leave, but, if true, I struggle to understand why he wants to get away so badly.

I would like to keep all our young players and I think it would be a pity to lose a player we would like to keep.
I think we are going to have to accept that some of our younger players are going to be sold or loaned out again this season.Of all the young players at the club I am not sure I think Lookman will be the most successful, but then flair players can be more unpredictable in their development and Leipzig certainly seem to want to sign the player.
I think he has a long way to go yet to become the player that we all could talk about as the one that got away.

It's on his story. It's a screenshot of a playlist and next to one of the songs there are two plane emojis.

That has led to grown men (possibly women) slating him as 'never good enough anyway' within two hours of the original post.

Football, ey.

Don't want any god botherer's at the club, should concentrate on football first in my opinion. Sell and invest in good atheist lads with a winning, hard-working mentality.

I don't see the point in keeping a player who doesn't want to be here.

Ah, I see it now, thanks.

It only really started after the squad got back from Austria though, presumably when the push to buy Richarlison picked up. He’s seemingly had a very easy career/life up to this point and now there’s a challenge, he doesn’t wanna know.

We'd rejected two bids from Leipzig by the time we came back from Austria...?

 

[Bluewolf]

What are you basing your opinion that he has a poor attitude on?

He is reportedly injured. Unless you know for certain that he isn't, then you can't claim he has a poor attitude.

There was that reporter who tweeted that brands and Silva aren't happy with his attitude since he returned.

And having a blag Injury all of a sudden, posting cryptic posts on Instagram and taking everton off his Twitter account. Doesn't exactly Scream positive attitude for me.

 

[meagher94]

What is odd is that if he was flying to Germany you’d expect Leipzig sources to be mouthing off about it by this point. Surprised it’s not been mentioned anywhere. Clutching at straws...

Please link me to the reporter...

I don't think it was an actual reporter.

Everton and England have been off his twitter bio for months. Actually, I'm not sure Everton has ever been on in the first place!
