Vardinio'sCat Posted 15 May 2022 Posted 15 May 2022 On balance I'd take him, relying on Barnes on his own is a stretch.
Bozman Posted 15 May 2022 Posted 15 May 2022 I can't see us taking him very limited player and a soft touch, I think he will go back to Fulham and help them get relegated again.. 2
FoxyPalace.com Posted 15 May 2022 Posted 15 May 2022 Middle of the road player ! He’s ok but we need better.

UHDrive Posted 15 May 2022 Posted 15 May 2022 Some would say (me included) that we are a top 4-7 chasing team. On that basis alone he's not good enough for the type of quality we should be looking for, especially in players in interchangeable CAM roles that we are seeking to buy. 2
Pliskin Posted 15 May 2022 Posted 15 May 2022 I think we sign him just to have in the squad. Let’s face it he can come off the bench and have an impact on the game. So for about £10m or so I would take him
Popular Post An Sionnach Posted 15 May 2022 Popular Post Posted 15 May 2022 If we had £100 million to spend every summer, we might attempt to find better. We have not. Ade has been better than Sancho this season and he cost 75 million. Its very easy on here to spend money we haven't got but Rodgers constantly reminds us of our limited budget. Lookman is as good as most squad players in the league and if £15 million is the price , we should pay it. 10

If we compare him to other wingers in their first season at a club, his stats are actually pretty respectable. Ziyech in his first season at Chelsea was pretty anonymous.
dobbylcfc Posted 15 May 2022 Posted 15 May 2022 I don’t think he’s done too bad for us tbf. If the rumours are true and it’s £15 million I think it’s a no brainer. He’s a good impact player to have on the bench.
Guest Chocolate Teapot Posted 15 May 2022 Posted 15 May 2022 Reckon we might get him for 7 or 8 million.
Kierzz Posted 15 May 2022 Posted 15 May 2022 He's proven throughout the season that he's much better on the left than on the right. But unfortunately we need a right winger so I dont think we will sign him. 1

We seem to have problems getting the balance of the team right and with a team full of interchangeable CAMs it generates options and Rodgers seems to make poor decisions where there are too many options on the table.

Totally agree with the player recruitment and choices!! Just watched the brentford game and heard that another prem team has slapped an offer for eriksen. He's the type of player we need but his age is an issue.

If we buy him, it won't be instead of a natural RW (I hope). 2

lcfcsnow Posted 15 May 2022 Posted 15 May 2022 I'm not sure we'll sign him now, he's been in and out all season and Rodgers has dragged him off at HT lately when he has started. As an option on the left wing he's useful but my biggest hope for next season is that we don't continue with makeshift options for the right wing which Lookman has been for the most part. 2

The problem always has been that wide right players with a proper pedigree are too expensive. Its no use taking a "punt" on some kid from an much inferior league hoping he will come good , PL defenders will eat him alive. Raphinha or somebody of his ability will cost north of £30 million and I just don't see us spending that sort of money. 1
Guest TaggertvsWise Posted 15 May 2022 Posted 15 May 2022 Liked him before we signed him, has the ability to change a game from the bench in the toughest league in the world. Give him stability to develop even further and it’s a no brainer. Sign him up.

Don't get me wrong, I think, as erratic as he is, he's had a pretty good season. But £15mil is a decent chunk of what we're going to be spending on a winger. That's first team player money. If he cost something like £5-£7mil, absolutely get him in. I guarantee if we're spending £15mil on Lookman, we're not signing another winger. I'd far rather us try and spend £25mil-£30mil on our usual 1 big signing every summer on the right-wing position. I'm amazed how many people are calling it a no brainer at £15mil. Considered perhaps but no brainer? No brainer is if you're being offered him for probably £5mil. £15mil is decent money for us. It's this kind of complacency that'll set us back. 4

Besides, there’s games he just misfires and needs pulling.. and with an injury here and there we certainly need a back up for him. 2
