35 million pounds sterling
For what ?
A young player that can't force his way into the Everton team and when he does get a run he just doesn't deliver.
The manager and his staff have seen him now for a full season and if they are prepared to sell then they have seen enough to convince them that for some reason it is worth selling him on.
We have had a moderate season and there were opportunities for all our younger players to make a real name for themselves.
DCL has done so,
Davies not so much but has been given a new contract,
Jonjoe Kenny not so much either and there is talk he will be loaned out or sold but when he played he certainly gave everything that he had and certainly shows the desire needed.
Lookman comes into the same category of not having impressed but more importantly has not shown the desire to force his was into the team.
I ignore all the talk about attitude that you read on fora such as this because nobody knows really.
But, what the manager said some weeks ago was important I feel.
I would prefer to keep the player and hope there is no truth in our reported willingness to sell him, but somehow you just feel it may be true... however, if we are waiting to get 35m then he will be here for a long time yet.
