Was featured on South Of The River about players in South London and their struggles to make it in professional football  Not sure if this can be see outside London Region of ITV

It was in BT I think. Good series. Wasn’t much about him but you got a flavour of his background and pathway. Very good watch. I like him most of all for his effort and invention. Sign him up.

Cheers. I rate him too and would like to see him signed up

We are gonna sign him permanently, don’t think there is any doubt personally.

we could do an awful lot worse for sure

Another contribution on the right too...

[baldeagle]

How many goals that this season now ? Thought  he was the only one really causing them problems at times 

[Phenom]

Must sign. And get a right winger.

It was very clearly an own goal, not his. He did really well to force the defender to make the lunge though.

Was it I thought he got the last touch even after replays I stand corrected .

8 (9 in our hearts) goals and 5 assists in all competitions this season, 2.1k minutes played

compared with Harvey who has got 9 and 9 in all comps, 2.8k minutes played

[Supergray22]

The thing I like best about lookman is his attitude. Always gives it his all and willing to try something different. He is deceptively strong and quick and brings a bit of invention to the offensive game. He is also not bad at tracking back and winning the ball back. He may not be the right winger we want but he has got the right stuff and at £15 million sign him up.

If in our hearts we give the goal to Lookman you have to give the assist to Barnes haha

We need a player like Lookman, there's no risk to his signing as there is if we go for a perceived more exciting right footed winger (Brennan Johnson aside). This last month has surely convinced Rodgers and the club to pay the €15m.

I am sure he wouldn’t have started tonight if we weren’t planning on signing him. I am waiting for the chorus of ‘sign him up’. I honestly think it will give him the hugest confidence boost 

[filbertway]

Quite simply the most impressive player at getting into promising positions and squandering them I've seen in a while.

 

Thank got Mancini put that in, because Lookman would have conspired to miss it

 

I've never been so impressed and perplexed by a player in my life.

Nacho?!

 

at least they both make things happen though - even if it does go wrong at times… 

[21st Century Fox]

His pressing it pretty great, constantly puts the opposition under pressure.

Could do with some decent boots though, seems to slip over alot.

[coolhandfox]

He's the wide man version of Nacho.

 

Capable of moments of brilliance one minute and and totally misplaced pass or poor touch the next.

 

Great squad player, and I would sign him.

 

But we need better if we want to push on.

Nacho scores goals out of nothing and can often create very little.

 

Lookman gets into promising crossing/shooting positions at least 5/6 times a game and somehow fluffs them 99% of the time. I don't understand it.

 

If Lookman had even semi-consistent end product he'd have 50+ goal contributions a season.

I dunno about that I would back Lookman in front of goal or one on one with the keeper plus he creates his own chances a lot the time

If he did that he would be playing for Man.City.

[Jabfox]

Sign him up! (As long as it’s a reasonable

fee) 

[Foxxed]

Pulling Mancini’s strings

He creates his own chances and just has this incredible knack of being in the area where the ball ends up. I'd love someone to put together a highlight reel of everytime he's been in a promising position in the final 3rd. I swear it'd be an hour long.

[Scotch]

I've said it before and I'll say it again, for the fee being bandied about (£15m), he's a no brainer. Won't ever be that right winger that we want but he's a very good squad option.
