Ademola Lookman

[granter79]

This ,,,, he should be told or rather should have been told at the end of last season , that he’s going to get a run of 10 games or so and that he will be judged over them and not 10 minutes at the end of games we are losing. The amount of pressure put on a player that is young and knows he has to produce something in ten minutes or else he sits on the bench for a month , must be huge. It would effect decision making like never playing an easy ball because he has to score , shoot or create something with one of his 15 touches. He walks round players like they’re not there, has quick feet, immaculate control and touch , can cross, actually take corners and can shoot with both feet. Technically I think he’s our best young player by a mile and I really think if we let him go without even trying him out we will regret it. I mean Walcott was absolute dog turd and started and played most of the games he started for a couple of months. He was missing sitters, shooting when he should be passing, exposing Coleman and had a terrible understanding with him, I don’t care if he runs more laps and does more push ups in training we was absolutely crap and lookman would have created more imo. He may not be strong defensively but neither is Walcott so why we didn’t give him a run at the end of the season I will never know.

Should have been given 10 games alright. Maybe not got the mentality but we will never know as only got the odd game time here and there

So we’re going to trust the judgement of Koeman, Unsworth and Allerdyce now?

Silva has improved the majority of his players. Keane a great example.

Lookman is still at the same unknown quantity as when he first arrived.

4 managers with very different skillset requirements and demands of players.

This by an absolute mile. If I was Lookman I would be running for the hills watching the garbage we delivered for more than half a season and he didn't get a sniff... I truly hope he goes for his own sake, and makes our management feel like Chelsea for letting KDB leave. Idjits.

I know what you mean.. but when it comes to a kid we trying to bring through and develop, he needs playing time. If we are not giving him a fair run then we are not only wasting his time but ours as well. We expect him to become good enough how? He won't become the player he could be and we not getting the player we want, while at the same time building resentment in the player. Its in everyone's interest for him to move. Best for me would be sell him with a buy back very much in the Dela mode. If nothing else it just infuriates me that we wasting his potential.

£25mil and it's a deal.

If he does want to leave he should put in a transfer request- Leipzig or whoever can happily chase him without Lookman receiving any loyalty payments when he is sold.

5 different managers have all dropped him from the side, but its US that is wasting his potential.

That seems good logic to me.

Richarlison is a similar age and the level of trust from the manager in the two is miles apart. Ultimately if the manager seems him expendable then we have to back him. He can’t say he hasn’t had a chance. We gave him and Walcott numerous opportunities and they both flattered to deceive. Richarlison then completely revolutionised our right hand side when he moved over there.

You can't promise something like that though

What if he stunk the joint out 5 times in a row?

I agree it would have been nice to see him play more, but you can't make promises about guaranteed game time because if a player gets out of form then you're stuck playing them

A better way would have been to give him more time off the bench and if he did well in some sub appearances then letting him start a few and taking it from there (Which Silva could have done when he kept persisting with Walcott instead)

Looks like it’s a deal according to our friends at Sky now! Expected to happen in the next 24 hours!
