I'll be avoiding watching Sky Sports News until tomorrow. Can't deal with the overhyped bollocks that is deadline day. Bigging up transfers that are essentially not that interesting. Just an excuse to keep non entity sports reporters in a job!
From Dominic Fifield at The Guardian. He's usually very well connected. A 6m buyout clause, if true (and we have to take these things with a grain of salt), would be incredibly disappointing.
Surely not as connected as Cawley who said he knows of no clause ?
Guardian are saying we would get Hiram Boateng in return if Lookman did one to Palace. No idea if that would be loan or permanent. Probably loan
Hiram Boateng? Blimey, let's do the deal.
PS Who is he?
Am presuming Jonny Williams wouldn't drop down to League One?
Williams is actually a very good call. But i suspect you're right about him not wanting to drop down to League 1. (And frankly if I was in his shoes nor would given that less than six weeks ago he was playing in the Euros)
IF Lookman goes anywhere and reports are true, then it must be for the full 6 million right now (yes AFKA I know the amount is largely meaningless), and there should be a massive sell on clause. The 6 million should be made available to Slade immediately, and it should happen in the next hour in order for Slade to buy people today. If we have the likely scenario of Lookman going for peanuts, nobody coming in, then I would say that protests would ramp up hugely without any leadership being needed.

He's apparently lined up to be loaned back to Ipswich.

All giving him some money (no way it'd be the full amount) to spend now would do is drive up the prices clubs are asking for their players. Selling Lookman now would be an incredibly stupid decision however you slice it. We're a thin squad desperately short on creativity and he is both a game changer for us and at this point our only major sellable asset. Unless deadline day frenzy drives to price north of 10m (that's James Tomkins money), then it's not worth even considering.
So it's Tex who's staying according to the NS. Why does the poxy News Shopper webpage freeze my pc for an age while it loads all its ads etc? Pain in the butt.
If Tex stays, then we'll have far too many CBs. And knowing sod's law, we'll get injuries in every position other than CB, and will end up having to play all 5 or 6 of them!

A great opportunity to let Johnson go and free up some room on the wage bill...
If that's true then it's 5 3 2 all the way as we are overloaded with top centre backs. Tex Bauer Pearce with Solly and Chicksen wing backs (a system THD would have been brilliant for).
Fear it harmed us in the long run as would have freed up wages but you don't leave a player like him on the bench in this division.
Like Tex as a player and he's more than good enough for League 1 but fear that if his, and Ba's, wages aren't shifted then we might not get Thompson etc.

How?
Is we try to cancel his contract, he'll tell us to F*** off. If we end up paying off all or the majority of his contract, we're barely better off than keeping him, ditto if we loan him out and have to pay most of his wages

Lookman will stay.
