Weve signed 5 players, added 1 fron the youth squad, sold 1, lost 2 to retirement, and sold 2 fringe players. The squad is infinitely stronger if all the players get fit. I'm not that excited about lookman but this is well OTT.
Popular Post EnderbyFox Posted 31 August 2021 Popular Post Posted 31 August 2021 It's hilarious how Gray has had a couple of decent games for Everton and all of a sudden we should've never let him go Let's not forget he didn't show any improvement for us for the best part of 5 years under about 5 different managers. 13 1

Rodgers showing no ambition Rodgers out!

We got Forfana in for Maguire, we got Justin in for Chilwell, we got Daka in for Vardy, we got Ndidi in for Kante and the list goes on, ALL WE WANT IS A RIGHT WINGER.

It's not the 90s anymore, there's access to all sorts of football now. Lookman is a downgrade on the type of player we were linked with and he's predominently a left winger. So I can understand people being a little bit underwhelmed. For me, he'll be exciting as he's got a bit of pace and will be able to cause other teams problems that they just don't have to worry about with Perez and Albrighton. 1

If we sign players below that calibre of “up&coming” we all panic we’ve fxcked it

Ffs some people on here he might turn out to be brilliant trust the manager ,trust the recruitment team, give the player time and don’t write him off before he has even kicked a ball for us I don't think anyone thought that about either of those players at the time, they were both exciting signings considering where we were at the time - both unknown quantities. I think what most people have a problem with is that while Lookman addresses an issue in our side - lack of cover on the left hand side - it's a signing that does nothing to address the far more glaring lack of quality we have on the right. Add to that a summer of being linked - rightly or wrongly - with interesting right-sided options, and Rodgers teasing the idea of bringing in 'attacking options' just a few days ago, then it's obviously disappointing to get to deadline day and not sign anyone for that position.
FoxyPalace.com Posted 31 August 2021 Posted 31 August 2021 Established top 6 side, should be buying Established players. Lookman isn’t established and has been playing pass the parcel for years at different clubs. I’ll be honest was hoping for a lot better! 1

Im really happy for him. As long as he doesn’t score a winner against us. He definitely disappointed almost every game he played but if he does well elsewhere we can still credit ourselves with developing him from where he was as a kid at Brum

If you can show me a single post where someone on this forum thinks we should be in for players of that calibre, then I'll happily eat my words. All people want is to strengthen in the positions where we need to strengthen. RW is an obvious problem area, so yeah - it's disappointing to not sign a full-on right winger. 1

gerrytaggart Posted 31 August 2021 Posted 31 August 2021 Well the experts have spoken. Lookman is not as good as grey!!🙃 Personally Im happy with this, seen him.play numerous times and I think he'll do a job for us.

We never let him go either , we offered him a new contract but he turned it down. he has said in a interview recently he regrets this and feels he should of stayed and fought for his place but he let his head go down when he wasn't playing. maybe going to Germany made him grow up mentally because he always had potential but was frustrating we did give him chances as well but he took them inconstantly, Also ill bet you most of the people winging that Lookman is not good enough were the ones calling grey garbage

Lookman isn’t established and has been playing pass the parcel for years at different clubs. I’ll be honest was hoping for a lot better! No disrespect but what a load of sh!t. Alot of us on here rightfully laugh at the likes of Man utd and Chelsea who refuse to sign good players for modest fees because they play for a team in the championship or PL relegation zone but instead wait till they've proven themselves and then sign them for £80odd million like utd did Maguire or sell exciting young prospects like Lukaku and sign him back for £100m. That's an utterly bonkers transfer policy that we couldn't do even if we wanted to. Signing Established players comes with significant fees that we can't compete with. Picking young somewhat unestablished players, getting the best out them and selling them to clubs that employ this type of transfer policy works for us and is where we currently stand in the world football stage. 5
Nicolo Barella Posted 31 August 2021 Posted 31 August 2021 Lookman is a good player. I just hope he can actually play on the RW as he has shown little evidence of being able to do so throughout his career.
Ian Nacho Posted 31 August 2021 Posted 31 August 2021 Pretty underwhelming but we we all excited about Under and look how it turned out with him. I’m pretty confident we wouldn’t be getting him if it wasn’t for the Fofana injury. 1

It was never going to work for Gray here. I’ve always thought he would end up being half decent somewhere else but he was in a rut here he was never going to get out of.
