I did say this...
And this...
And also some questionable shouts about him needing to stop being benched for Dom. But regardless I just hadn't got to the point where I thought he should look elsewhere. If he still wasn't playing right now that probably would have changed.
Hmm well I suspect you wouldn't have ever suggest Kean leave for mins before Richarlison got injured. These were the full quotes btw, they were aimed at Hannes Wolf not Lookman but I'm sure he was aiming it his way too:
"Frankly, I don't understand the uproar. Nothing has happened yet, it's not like he was on the bench for six months," Nagelsmann said in an interview with Kicker.
"He played a few games in a season phase that was very significant. These appearances can be seen as a small glimmer of hope on the one hand, but also as a small gift from the coach on the other hand," the RB Leipzig coach said.
In general, Nagelsmann believes young players today are too quick to say that they want to leave if they aren't playing as much as they would like to.
"These days, it seems like every player who isn't playing regularly wants to leave immediately," Nagelsmann told Kicker and added that he believes young players "should strive to keep working, even if a phase in their career isn't going so well."
"Basically, we can't say goodbye to every player who is unsatisfied when he isn't playing. We can't go through the second half of the season with 11 or 12 players, and it's part of the game to go through such a phase in the course of a career."
