woznotwos Posted 20 July 2022 Posted 20 July 2022 4 hours ago, Col city fan said: I thought he was one of our better players last season. It’s a huge shame we can’t keep him. But we’re ok. Lookman has left and we still have Vestie, Amartey, Soumare and Bertrand… I really liked him as well. Fingers crossed we still get him. Only a young lad.
One Arm Babba Posted 20 July 2022 Posted 20 July 2022 Lookman is a little bit like the Nathan Dyer loan deal, no doubt he contributed to our title win, but it wasn’t a loss when we didn’t sign him on a full time on basis. 1
foxfan92 Posted 28 July 2022 Posted 28 July 2022 Shame. I thought he was good competition for Barnes. But there are others of similar price range and ability for the left wing. It's that elusive right wing that we need to concentrate on finding the right player for as priority. Cover on the left wing is desirable, and we do need backup for Barnes, but I feel finding a Lookman alternative won't be as hard as finally finding a suitable successor to Mahrez. 1
Popular Post StriderHiryu Posted 28 July 2022 Popular Post Posted 28 July 2022 I'm disappointed. He's a good player who had an overall positive impact. Gave us a different kind of option to what we had previously and cover for Barnes. Understand why the club didn't / can't sign him, but he'll get a fond reception from me if we ever bump into him again. 15
moore_94 Posted 28 July 2022 Posted 28 July 2022 I expect we are probably going to try and get that Diop from Monaco anyway, so would be no need for Lookman 2 1 1

Popular Post Ric Flair Posted 28 July 2022 Popular Post Posted 28 July 2022 He brought a good amount of goals and assists from out wide which other than Barnes has not been that easy to get from our wingers, we do need to bring in at least 1 other winger. 5
Leicester_Loyal Posted 28 July 2022 Posted 28 July 2022 Didn’t want him anyway… Did a decent job for us last season, saw us through till the end well. All the best to him, wish we had the funds to sign him and a RW.
sylofox Posted 28 July 2022 Posted 28 July 2022 Why do people want us to sign Lookman as back up when our right wing is the main problem. So your all happy with Albrighton and Perez on the right. I'd rather we got that right winger in. We have cover for Barnes. Albrighton before you all start he was good enough on the left to win us the league. 2

Wolfox Posted 28 July 2022 Posted 28 July 2022 I am probably adding 2+2 and making 5, but I can only assume we are confident about acquiring an alternative winger that we prefer? 2

Need 2 now. Absolutely desperate for a right winger and while Lookman is better on the left, his performances on the right were far better than people gave him credit for. Plus he's home grown, still pretty young (certainly having a settled team will be massive for his development) and pretty cheap. Not gutted by this but logically this is a big miss for us. 1
Popular Post -sodapop Posted 28 July 2022 Popular Post Posted 28 July 2022 Feel bad for the lad, thought he had found a place here 5
Tanya Posted 28 July 2022 Posted 28 July 2022 I rate him. So this hurts. We are going to start the season with Albrighton on the wing. What a disgrace. 1

He does but he doesn't really suit our problem area which is RW. If we could bring in a RW and Lookman I'd be all for it. But if it was a choice between him and a natural RWer, I'd prefers a RW.

Tanya Posted 28 July 2022 Posted 28 July 2022 (edited) People forget Lookman scored a decent amount of goals for us. Where the HELL are those goals going to come from? This season....yep. panic stations. Edited 28 July 2022 by Tanya 3
EnderbyFox Posted 28 July 2022 Posted 28 July 2022 Thought we'd at least get this one done, would've been a decent option off the bench with the increased subs imo. As things stand, it looks like we are going into Game 1 with a squad that's actively weaker than the squad we finished last season with, not ideal. 4
Jobyfox Posted 28 July 2022 Posted 28 July 2022 At the start of the window Lookman felt like a back stop option if we couldn’t attract better. Now he feels like a bright shining beacon of hope in a depressing transfer window. He isn’t the kind of signing that will transform us to the next level, but would have added much needed competition in an area where we have few options. We probably needed better but, given our current predicament, we wouldn’t have got better this window or the next.
