Our old pal Karl Robinson sounded yesterday as if he regards Lookman as his key man.

Yeah I agree - get rid. I mean the fact he's created more goals than anyone else in our team is irrelevant. So what if he's got the joint third highest number of assists in the league and is a fully fledged Czech international, he doesn't score enough on his own.

Why do certain posters advocate selling, or in their terms 'getting rid', of members of our first team squad anyway? Loan deals for one or two out of favour players is another matter, but selling them? bizarre.
We aren't even half way through what we all hope will be a promotion season. We will need nearly all of them at some stage before the season is out.

I'd take a decent offer for Kaz but see no value in a loan at this point unless it is to free some wages up elsewhere. He can win games when fit although he can disappear just as easily. But should we need him he knows the club and knows the system, if we bring someone in they could take time to come up to speed. Be interesting to see him through the middle would certainly offer something different from the others...

I think Kaz will stay until May. If Solly doesn't stay fit or someone else breaks down we could be struggling a bit. I don't think we are in the hunt for another winger in the January transfer window. There is no reason to loan him out at all in my opinion.

I didn't say get rid and I acknowledged his fine assists. I would however like to see more from him, mainly in goals (think he's behind the other four wingers mentioned in terms of goal scoring). The Czech international thing doesn't mean a great deal in the scheme of things.
I don't think many would dispute that if Kaz replicated his form before his injury last season, it would put him above Jiri in the pecking order. The thrust of this thread was not about getting rid of anyone; on the contrary it was about giving KLL the opportunity to show that he has something to offer this team

Why do we need that opportunity? If the backroom staff don't know what KLL is worth to the squad now they never will. It's if he's fit enough that is all we need to know

I think the injuries have taken their toll on Kaz. If only he hadn't snapped his ankle at Hartlepool, he was never the same after that.

Short memories he was on the form of his life beginning of last season it's a real shame about his injuries as he is a talented player.
I'll rephrase - doesn't quite have the footballing intelligence for a top championship side, such as we are.

The squad balance is wrong.
5 wingers and 3 strikers ( + Elvis ) isn't ideal.
4 wingers and 5 strikers is what we really need.
Replace Elvis of course, but also swap out a winger for a 5th striker, which to me indicates goodbye to Kaz.

He started last season very well indeed. In fact, he was a Championship player of the month. But his injury record is problematic. He now has four quality players to compete with for a starting place; unfortunately he'll take one step forward with some good form and then two steps back with another injury. Maybe it's time to say goodbye to an Amex hero. Very sad if it is but he should be playing 1st team football when fit and I don't think we can give it to him.

I think that Bruno would take him in his stride no problem.
It would depend on the referee. Bruno is an excellent full back but can be done with pace.

Not really.
He had what, a great 6 weeks at the start of last season.
Aside from that spell, he's either been shite or injured over the past 4 years.

Rosenior will be back soon as is also a great winger option

Perhaps wrongly, always struck me as a player where fame went to his head and subsequently believed better than was. Great
shame because really likeable and talented. When we got him on loan at Withdean nobody in the third tier could touch him. The most exciting player we'd had since BZ. No question. Player you'd singularly come to watch.

His chance will come. Someone will get injured. Agree he's been a bit inconsistent and not convinced on the 'together' thing either BUT there's still something about him. He is a player who can come off the bench and completely change things. There was a season at Withers when he was worth the entrance fee alone and most of us couldn't believe he wasn't given a chance at Newcastle. I'm not ready to let go just yet. Not just yet...
