I come on here for some relief from all the politics of the last few weeks. Hoping to avoid all the social media Karl Marx's whof have suddenly appeared. But no even the football threads are taken over by politics.
I spoke to a scout for a top Premiership club, today, and asked him about Lookman. He said that he'd watched him four times, felt each time that he hadn't done enough in any of the games and said that he'd be better off staying at Charlton for the time being (adding that colleagues had told him that Lookman has looked special in U21 fixtures).

I totally believe you, but the trouble is that all Premier league clubs are so scared of missing out on the next Rooney/Varney they hoover up all the kids with talent; especially if they can pick them up cheap.
Just need to ask top price and make them really think about it. First hint that someone else is interested they will be in a feeding frenzy and you get the fee and the player gets his wages. Just got to hold your nerve and trust your own judgement as to what you have.

Did not work out well with Gomez.
I will accept your word on this as I have no idea of fee or add ons agreed. It does leave the question as to if we lost our nerve or we thought it a good deal.
Is Cousins worth more than £3.5 mil said to have been paid for Gomez? Played more than Gomez and outfield player so on the face of it he should be,
I think he is. But not my chip to bet. That's the rub in football club poker.

5 mllion for Cousins, Gudmundsson and Lookman and we'll be lucky. Elsewhere would get 10 million'ish.

Don't matter if it's £5 million or a fiver if it goes into Rolands pocket.

Very true, the superstars we are bringing are not costing the Belgians anything.

I meant in the old days the money would go into CAFC coffers now it's into the Staprix group (or whatever the holding companies called) and RD will spend it on whatever part of the evil empire he so desires. I wonder if all this movement of cash will be so easy after Brexit?
I think with Lookman too he hadn't been through an academy, hadn't played for England at various age groups and has blown hot and cold, understandedly, and although talented he isn't in my opinion in the same class as Joe so I don't think he could reasonably demand a release clause. Even so I doubt we will get my than 3m and even that will be down to various clauses.

Nice squad building up
GK: Pope, Dmitrovic, Phillips
RB: Solly +1 new
LB: THD + 1 new
CB: Baeur; Tex; Lennon + 1 new
CM: Kashi, Diarra, Cousins + 1 creative new
Wing: Holmes; Harriet; JBG +1 new
Str: Ajose; Watt; Lookman; Novak
Sell Hendo, Fox, Johnson, Ba, Bergdich and move JJ to coaching role. Kids play back up to the above
Only need 5 more and we have a competitive squad... oh and to keep the others!
Also assumes Watt, JBG and Lookman stay but we can sell Johnson, Ba, Bergdich.
Lots of if and buts in there.
Meanwhile players are back in training next week.

Demetriou is a very good signing for them.
