It would have been boss if he was boss for us but he wasn’t. He might be boss for his new club but that doesn’t mean he would have been boss for us had he stayed.

£22 million is boss.

Good luck, boss.

Did someone say 'boss?'

You are talking absolute pony now mate. You sell in the moment. Not on unicorns.

This is how you sell De Bruyne and Salah before they peak. I'm not saying Lookman is them. But this is how it happens. I know for a fact De Bruyne's attitude was questioned the same as Lookman's is being now.

 

[blue to the bone]

Agreed. I'll still hold my breath that those two don't hit seriously high levels though.

Holding your breath for that long would not be good for your health

Would like to think we have a sell on option included. Will be shame to see him go, but clearly wasnt happy here. Just hope he doesn't burn his bridges when he goes.

 

[LostLegend]

Ya I have ... and I can’t get it. I honestly felt if he was a Silva signing he would have been played a lot more. Silva needed to give “his” men all the chances he could to adapt as that was a key measure of success. I honestly think that had a role to play.

Sorry, but that’s utter nonsense.
Plenty of players got a chance last season who weren’t Silva’s buys.

 

[riddick]

Don't mind him going honestly but I feel we are selling the wrong players.

Obviously it takes to to tango and sign our dross but still.

His attitude in training might have been poor but this is paper talk based on something Silva said. But not on the field ..I was only ever impressed ...

So Silva might have had his reasons... (might have felt disrespected at some point maybe.. managers would rather let their best sit on the bench if they a touch rude) .. but I don’t buy them or don’t like them. Opinions eh..

Not the first kid we have moaned wasn’t given a tangible shot.. just the biggest head scratcher in years to me... Dowell hasn’t achieved half that Lookman has at a top level.. yet still we wait patiently.

Edit: forgot to add. I can only judge on game time.. I never had an issue with his attitude on the pitch.

Said me piece... best for all is my summary.

I don’t think you can just judge him on his time on the pitch. Yes that’s all we see. But there has to be more to it. Which we will never know.

Maybe he’s was a tit.

Maybe just maybe he was never very good.

Yeah, sure.

Look mate, every club on the planet has sold a player, then regretted it. Every club on the planet has signed a diamond for buttons. But you just cannot hold a player back because he might make it with you. You deal in facts.

Fact is, he has been Ok. Being generous. £22m for an Ok player sounds Ok to me. I am sure if he does great in Germany you will regale us with your brilliant insight. But I am not remotely interested in what a player does after he leaves L4.

 

[Blueclouds]

Quite sad about this deal tbh

That VentureBros who sponsors this thread is going to be beside himself.

Yeah, sure.

Since it is against the rules around here to compare what he did to the sacred one who kept him out I won't do it. But if he was our standard for good than Lookman would have been at least that if he got the same amount of time unless all of Lookman's play before this season was a complete fluke. He was an ok player because that's all we let him be.

I'm sure he'll do well in a league that doesn't believe in organised defences.
