NasPb Posted 17 June 2022 Share Posted 17 June 2022 We'd be foolish not to sign him. Tidy player. Though i do agree with other posters, could be because we ain't got $. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers has talked about a major rebuild, don’t see why we won’t make 3/4 signings that are of a higher calibre. I like Lookman, for a squad player or someone to come off the bench he is very useful and brings something extra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimJams Posted 17 June 2022 Share Posted 17 June 2022 To be fair it's not too different to our Youri situation. Although Lookman isn't in his last year, it's obvious that they want rid so might have to lower their price to get it done. Torino are doing it to us as well. All part of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps the manager should have managed expectations instead of pushing the idea that there was going to be some big 'summer rebuild'. It's becoming clearer and clearer that he did so simply to get the fans off his back after a string of completely unacceptable results and performances. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh, I would be amazed if another Premier League team didn’t snap him up for £14m! He performed well in what was a largely underwhelming season. Would Fulham be interested in taking him back, Forest would struggle to do any better, he would be a very good signing for 7 or 8 Premier League teams and £14m is cheap as chips! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much a waste playing on the right side, still not sure about him, £10m was the price originally talked about, at that price it would have been perhaps a doable deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whilst LCFC HQ have as much inside information as I do which is absolutely none, at the moment things are very quiet indeed. We are all hoping that bolt of RW dream lightning is going to pop up but funds wise I’m losing a bit of confidence at the moment as to whether we can invest on the level we need to in order to truly compete with the teams around the top six/eight.

We have never have had the funds to compete with the top 6, when we have competed its been down to good scouting or coaching. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, of course I’m not suggesting we have had and you are correct in your response of course also. I guess what I was trying to write (badly) is that if we wish to compete with them in a footballing sense in terms of results rather than overall outlay of cash on players, we need to get some quality in certain positions, especially RW and I’m losing a bit of confidence that we will outlay the circa £30ish million required respectively to fill each of those positions, especially if Youri stays… I’m just hoping the deals we can’t see in the background are busy and have promise.

Agreed that groundwork would have been done, but question more about whether Brendan is having more influence over decisions whilst we wait for Glover. The likes of @Muzzy_Larsson might tell you Rodgers being more involved is not necessarily a good thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your stays and we can get a quality RW and CB replacement I think we will be fine. Biggest part of competing for the top 6 is keeping every one fit. Considering the issue we had last year with injuries and set pieces we finished 6 pts behind 6th last season. Don't think we are in as bad of state as some believe on here. Keep, Evans, Fofana, Ndidi, Maddison and Vardy fit and we will be in or around the top 6. Edited 18 June 2022 by coolhandfox 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
