Ademola Lookman

[toffeejack]

let's be honest, fans of other clubs in the league will see we're selling him for £25m and be asking "who even is he?".

It's a good deal for us now, personally. I didn't want him to go, but it has come to the point where i agree the club has to sell him, much better players have played for better clubs and it's not worked out, it happens. It's just some of the other fees going around which is annoying, i mean he could be top class for another prem team who were wishing to splash the dollar. When you see tyrone mings going for £26m, why can't we get teams throwing us that sort of money for our many misfits, who would actually helps these teams more than Mings will? Just our luck we get only interest from tight wod's like leipzig and Turkish teams.

I'm sure a factor is his lack of 'acadamy' time, almost unheard of these days to go from park football to professional player.
If he thinks he can suceed on talent alone he will soon find himself out of work. (albeit with a healthy bank balance)

...to be fair, he was a regular for Charlton in a tough and competitive league which I thought was a really good sign he wouldn’t be found wanting for attitude. Sadly, he’s not been able to consistently impress Everton managers.

The love in for this guy is astonishing.

He seems to be rated higher than DCL and Davies on here but unlike those two he’s done nothing here.

I can’t wait to see the back of him. No doubt one of our resident ‘internet scouts’ will keep a thread going highlighting his xG and passes completed in ‘period 21’ and will sneer at his detractors every time he does a good run in a farmers league.

because he wanted to keep him and make him work but he didn't take the chances he was given by Silva so he gets the cull.

You think Brands expected Lookman to have the attitude he’s had all season, and literally have 0 good performances?

He was kept because Brands thought he would progress. He didn’t.

i assume they refused so Silva could have a look at him for a season before making the decision.
Deffo not a calamity

There's always an excuse trundled out for Brands.

The far more peresuasive assessment is to ask what tangible benefit was made through delaying his departure from last summer to this one. There are none. Ergo, it was a bad decision.

Seems to have an attitude problem, as well as being injury prone. HE's lightening quick with no end product...a poor mans Aaron Lennon

EXCLUSIVE: Brands lifts the lid on January transfer plans

The Blues' director of football has opened up about what the club will do when the window opens on January 1

“I think we are a very, very lucky club in England that we have three players with great potential who are just 21-years-old – we have Dominic, we have Richarlison and we have Ademola.

“And if I bring in a new player, a huge striker or a name, should I destroy one of them?

“It is also my goal to protect those boys. Everyone agrees with me that they have great potential and a great future.

“Ademola showed in half a year in the Bundesliga that he could score, he got six goals in 11 games. Dominic has shown already that he can score in the Premier League and I don't want to destroy those big talents.

“Ok, they need some time and we have to give them time and confidence for the future to show that potential and, for me, it will hurt me if we destroyed those talents because everyone is jealous of those type of talents.”

Their is no excuse, Brands literally said this and you choose to ignore it to benefit your absolute moronic agenda against Brands for not selling him last year when it was clearly stated he wanted to keep Lookman because he thinks hes a talent, Thus we kept him and Silva gave him a chances to show his talent and he didn't show it which is why we're selling him now.
Not hard to understand really is it dave.

They tried to make it work and it didn’t. They told him that they saw him as part of the future, but it seems he didn’t have the same view.

As they see him every day in training, I think they are in a much better place to make an assessment as to whether he was worthy of selection or not.

It simply hasn’t worked out for either party, don’t see the point in anybody using it as a stick to beat management with as it’s all just unfounded hyperbole.

How does that explanation deal with the point I made? It doesn't.

He could see last summer and then in January that Lookman wanted out and he didn't act to get shut and get cash in. He delayed until this summer and we gained nothing from the delay. It;s his job to assess the situation and ask whether keeping a player who was reluctant to be here was a great idea. If you're Moshiri you look at that and wonder wtf the point of it all was.

Anyone of us could see that Lookman's head wasn't in this club. The DoF should easily have seen it and acted decisively.

12 months it took him to reach the right decision on Lookman. That is not impressive.

Unbelievable the slack this feller is cut.

He wanted to keep him because he's a young talent which is the mold Everton are aiming for, It's pretty simple to understand why we didn't sell him last year.
He hasn't kicked on like Brands expected so we're selling doesn't matter for you though does it anything to bash Brands with you'll be dribbling with excitement to slander him on grand old team dot com

come off it, lookman is a great talent, it would have been gross negligence to let him leave without trying to get him on board.

So you don’t take into account that situations can change and they tried to make that happen?

What you are basically saying is give up at the first opportunity?

 

[Walken]

Talented lad (though its protocol to pretend otherwise once sold) who clearly found a far happier home in Germany, good luck to him

Ive always thought it but in one post you have 100% confirmed it. You are a troll, a no good troll. Its amazing you've kept so long at it, impressive in some weird way. Amazed you're allowed to still post on here to be honest.
