I wonder if any future payments and clauses will go to Charlton or Starprix. Should show on the club accounts next year shouldn't it? A question for Katrien at her next fan meeting perhaps.
In response to previous questioning Katrien said Lookman wouldn't be leaving.
Is there any point in listening to her?
She also said the club's not for sale, so if 'not for sale' means 'until someone offers me the right amount of money' then I'd be quite grateful
Thing is we all knew beyond all doubt he would be sold. It's like a game to her to see how stupid she can imagine we are. He is going places and none of us begrudge him the move. The certainty she said he wouldn't go was comical. Everyone knows everyone has their price (except Parker, he was irreplaceable amd yes I'm still bitter about that one) but if I'm honest I'm not going to get worked up about some gibberish Miere has spouted. I'm just upset it's money for Staprix and not us per se
Charlton CEO Katrien Meire said: “We have a fantastic academy here and it is testament to everyone at the club that Charlton continues to develop high-quality young players.
“Our intention was not to sell Ademola, we are very sad to see him go and our long-term ambition is that we get ourselves into a position where our talented young players, even when there is interest from Premier League clubs, want to stay with us.”

You mean like a top half Championship club that had finished three points off the playoffs the season before you arrived Katrien? Something like that maybe? A position you already had but have destroyed because you're so inept at your job. Just leave. Sell the club. You've failed. Again and again and again.
Just seen the deal has been confirmed on our official site. Says 'undisclosed fee' predictably. If I hear anything more about the real fee from our side, I'll pass it on

don't worry it's already been passed on to our owner, the Cloob will see none of it
Everton have confirmed the signing of ademola lookman from Charlton for £7.5m on a four and a half year deal. The initial fee is £7.5m but there will be further add-ons depending on performance.
Is 49 appearances for us an unreasonable amount for someone with that much potential? I know we are moaning about our youngsters being released too soon but Ademola was being scouted from game one so you could argue that 49 games and, if it is to be believed, a fee of £10m means we haven't done too badly. We are in league one after all.
The real problem, as has been mentioned once or twice, is where that money goes now..............

Every day is a learning day....
Can we get her on Mastermind (I almost suggested the Celebrity variety, but I'm afraid she's more likely to be Celery) with her specialist subject being all the things she has learned?
4/11/15: “My proposition would be a real unique football fan experience — and see hopefully the next stars of the Premier League, which we will have play for Charlton in the first team and then sell onto the Premier League.”
5/1/17: “Our intention was not to sell Ademola, we are very sad to see him go and our long-term ambition is that we get ourselves into a position where our talented young players, even when there is interest from Premier League clubs, want to stay with us.”
glad he's joined Everton, a proper football Club, would have hated to see him at Chelsea, Arsenal, West Ham etc. Good luck Ade, you are better off out of it.

Was getting tired of the rumours and what not and just wanted the bloody deal completed so we could get on with our lives
25p for squad strengthening then...
To be fair.. I love doing the deals says Katrien...........(the Jim White interview).

Meire cannot stop lying.
I don't know how fans are still attending meetings with her when she continues to blatantly lie and twist everything.
But good luck to Ademola, what a great opportunity for him.
the big factor really is what happens to the money....
best of luck Ade, personally think he's gone to the 'biggest' club he could've done where he might actually get prem game time almost instantly
He would also have been advised externally for his own good he needed away from here now
