Lookman was clearly never a priority. With our bloated squad, I tend to agree….how many CM’s can a 25 man squad have? Surely, we’re about two too heavy and about four that clearly aren’t in Rodgers plans in Mendy, Hamza, Praet, Soumare? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It didn't work effectively, we had a good run in the cup and discovered Iheanacho was good behind closed doors.. but more than half of that season was still with a back four, towards the end after the switch it all started to unravel being 0-4 down at home to Newcastle and it was lucky to be just 4, Spurs in the final match just torn to shreds and that setup was much to blame.

Big mistake imo Probably have to switch formation from a back four if that was the case, but BR seems keen on using 5 ATB this season anyway. Money best spent elsewhere, not a bad player but not going to propel us forward. he’d end up in our deadwood pile in a years time imo and just another player we need to ship out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big mistake imo Not really - we have options in the squad I would much rather us have spent any money we have on first choice players - he was no better than Perez as a squad player - waste of £14m on a limited budget 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post FoxesWalk Posted 3 August 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 3 August 2022 It’s a mistake to let him go imo, seemed hungry, put in the effort. Was arguably our best wide player for a spell last season. Maybe there is something we don’t know. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, I remember KDH saying in a interview that Lookman was always staying after training longer than others. Doing extra sessions and analyzing his performances with the coaching staff. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

honeybradger Posted 3 August 2022 Share Posted 3 August 2022 I'm happy for him that he has found a permanent club to stay at after being passed around everton Leipzig Fulham and Leicester in almost consecutive years. He's a good player but I'm not sad we missed out on signing him either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazly Posted 3 August 2022 Share Posted 3 August 2022 Lookman was never a engraved on the team sheet starter so if the club is looking to reduce its overbearing wage burden you get rid of your old high earners and loan players first. That is business, nothing personal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing extra sessions and analyzing his performances with the coaching staff. Yeah this stuck with me after seeing it. He came across as a really good pro generally but this reinforced it. If it weren’t for our squad size issues I think it’d already be done honestly. It’s a shame. But if we ignore squad size problems we have right now… we really need Lookman AND a right winger. It’s pretty obvious. Need to shrink how many surplus midfielders we have to fit that in though. Edited 3 August 2022 by FoxesWalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dahnsouff Posted 8 August 2022 Share Posted 8 August 2022 Come on Brendan, if there was a reason why any of the others could not have come on then you should say so, but Lookman would have been a weird sub too 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxes1 Posted 8 August 2022 Share Posted 8 August 2022 Typical Rodgers once again deflecting any criticism away from himself. Football is a squad game but it seems that BR has his favourites who can do no wrong 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
