Ademola Lookman

I still wonder if they might want to loan him out for the rest of the season

With Bolasie out for over a year, I doubt it.

Article about Lookman last week in the Independent - How Ademola Lookman slipped through the academy net before making his £11m move to Everton

Charlton picked him up after arranging a fixture for their U-16s against London FA in April 2014. I particularly enjoyed this bit:-

The Lookman story also shows that academies should not just scout for the best talent at 12, 10 or even eight, but that they should keep looking for talented boys who may have fallen through the cracks. Crystal Palace U16s had a game pencilled in against London FA back in April 2014 but it never happened. Had it taken place they would surely have signed Lookman, another south London youngster to add to their ranks. Last August Palace bid £6m for Lookman but it was not enough to buy the one who got away.

I always thought it was 'one in Kate Bush is worth two in....

.....your mum.

 

[Wardy's twin]

Brentford must be wringing their hands. £11m for Lookman must mean Hogan is worth £15m+

looks like you got that right.

Perfect start to his Everton career

We should of signed him.

 

[sjamesb3466]

We should of signed him.

Yeah, how we didn't compete with a team like Everton amazes me....

Everyone out.

His goal at the Amex was his first in pro football, I see.

Before they were interested.

That's more like it.

I have a mate who constantly mixes his idioms. Things like 'a bird in the hand spoils the broth.' Trouble is he's an English teacher.

It's a better one. The first one is "no great stakes".

This lad has been on the radar of premier league clubs for a while so we would still have been competing out of our league

Ok fair enough.

 

[Blues Rock DJ]

Absolutely delighted to see him bag today. Shows that if you're good enough, you're old enough.......now, about this young lad we've signed from Norway......bench on Friday ?

 

[BUTTERBALL]

What a start for Lookman, going to have a stellar career for sure.

 

[super-seagulls]

To be fair to him, it probably would.

It wouldn't if it was in the hand?
Unless the hand was also in the broth!

 

[Is it PotG?]

Sign him up.

 

[Stat Brother]

Sign him up.

I think we already have.

He's certainly doing more for our fight against relegation than anyone playing for the Albion.

 

[Pevenseagull]

Sign him up.

ouch
