Legend I think he wanted a longer contract than what we offered, it’s a shame because he’d earned the right to play in the premier league with us as anyone in that team. He was great for us from league 1 upwards. 2

I can't remember the match but my best memory of him is seeing him brilliantly and skillfully dispossess someone next to the corner flag near us and hearing the whole stadium gasp.

Grebfromgrebland Posted 15 January 2023 Posted 15 January 2023 Surely this thread can be locked now, he's not leaving and especially for us.

markko Posted 15 January 2023 Posted 15 January 2023 We should have signed Lookman. Surely we could have shipped one out to pay for it.
Grebfromgrebland Posted 15 January 2023 Posted 15 January 2023 Well Brendan said he wanted him but we couldn't do the deal. Probably lack of cash at the time.

markko Posted 16 January 2023 Posted 16 January 2023 I would love to be able to sit down with someone at the club as it is just beyond me why they could not move players on. May be could not afford to pay up players salaries even. It may be we have just been too generous with salaries and other clubs won't match them. If you or I were a player why would we want to move for a reduction in salary?

Grebfromgrebland Posted 16 January 2023 Posted 16 January 2023 Even if we end up partially paying salaries to the end if the contracts it's got to be worth it. We have to get rid of the mediocrity some how.
Le Renard Posted 16 January 2023 Posted 16 January 2023 Watched a bit of the Atalanta vs Salernitana, there is no way Boga is going to come to us, why would he want to be ruined by Rodgers, close thread!!! Lookman was quality in this match, we only saw him in fits and starts last season, there were glimpses of what could have been, perhaps it is another case of Rodgers not getting the best out of players.

Unfortunately the players we wanted to ship out were either unwanted by other clubs or were unwilling to accept a drop in salary. Atalanta got Lookman for €14m (around £11.75m at the time) including add-ons. The fact that we could not compete with that, especially given the player wanted to join us, means we were either in the worst financial position of any Premier League club last summer we were just being far more cautious than any other club. I have no idea which. Edited 16 January 2023 by ClaphamFox 3

I have no idea which. Our financial position is definitely worse than is being let on. If as a Premier League team you can't afford 11m then there is something seriously wrong. 3
