Ademola Lookman

Lookman will be better than Walcott, so we should keep

As a player, agreed. But in our current set up, Walcott is the better option becomes he looks to run beyond the defensive line.

With Bernard on the left who comes to the ball, having Lookman on the other side also coming to the leaves us with very few runners

Give him a new contract.

The point is when he did produce he got the chance. Sets up the winning goal after a less than inspiring effort from everyone else vs Palace and doesn't get a start. Comes on and tears City apart and presumably was dropped for Spurs injury or not. I don't know for sure but I'd bet he's started less than 7 games for Everton so acting like 7 starts in a half a season isn't more beneficial than what we've given him isn't true either.

My point with Spurs is they have the model we can closest follow. If Lookman turns out good it may hurt our reputation to have been unable to maximize that. Spurs have taken talents like Alli, Eriksen and Kane, none of which had played at the level they're at before Spurs, and turned them into top class players. Hopefully that is what we aim to do with players like Richarlison and Pickford but never giving a young, promising player a real shot isn't good for doing that.

Not that Spurs are a bad example to follow, they clearly are doing a lot right, I just think you are over simplifying the effect they have had on players. There's plenty you can pick that didn't work so well, rather than the 'home run' players like Son and Eriksen. N'Jie, Jensen, Wimmer, Yedlin, Nkodou are examples of other young players they bought in recent seasons who went on to do nothing of note at the club.

And nothing wrong with that either, it is what it is. Which is why i was saying that it'd likely be the same situation with Lookman if he was at Spurs.

Not sure what will become of Lookman, but at the age of 21, the next season or two will be critical no doubt.

Wouldn't mind a swap deal for Augustin

Have you ever seen Augustin play?

Have you ever seen Augustin play?

Why have you opened that can of worms?!

 

[EverBlue92]

Have you ever seen Augustin play?

Had never seen Digne or Gomes play but he's highly rated so I'll give it a go.

Lets be honest Lookmans hardly a loss.

I just want to find out about him.
If he's goin to be an Everton player I want to hear all about him!

Ah OK.
Interesting

He’s one of the most talented young players this club has? Has genuine potential, we’d be silly to let him go!

 

[Papa Shango]

World class Walcott has 6 in 30 for us.

He's hit double figures twice in the prem in his entire career.

Let that sink in...

He's a winger!

What exactly are we sinking in here? Winger has wingery stats?
