  • I'll be pleased because we won't be having our pants pulled down like the Shelvey or Jenkinson deal and only get a few mill. Obviously I'd rather keep him but that's not an option is it?
    lol it's exactly the same kinda deal. We will get 2 mil upfront and the rest will get scrapped like it did with jonjo when he is sold to another team.


  • I assume this is a record fee for a league one player?
  • Except that, instead of another club every once in a while, now it's the owner/Shareholder/President all the feckin time...

    We'll be lucky to see even 1 million of any transfer fees received.
    Indeed.

    The Jenkinson money may not have been in the same ballpark as the Lookman cash, but you can't exactly complain about the results of its investment; it helped us have a record breaking season under a young club legend manager.

    The best we can hope for here is that a decent proportion goes to squad investment, and the rest gets rid of some of the Staprix debt allowing Roland to lower his asking price.. Not sure whether either of those things will happen sadly.
  • Why are Everton the only club in for him?

    I was wondering about that as well. You'd have thought a few other PL clubs would be interested
  • Why are Everton the only club in for him?

    Only Prem club willing to give him first team football?

    I thought Oxlade Chamberlain was more
  • Jenkinson has been listed by Gooners. Wonder if we still have a sell-on? Stevens may attract bids also, and Rob Elliot.
  • Its the same type of car that every other player gets when they join us... Because of that you should mainly worry about the wheels coming off rather than the hubcaps as they usually do around March / April time

    He was, £12 million I seem to remember. Walcott went for the same amount before him also.

    Both whilst in the championship. Delph went for £6mill to Villa from dirty Leeds.
  • I don't think it looks like Lookman myself
  • He was, £12 million I seem to remember. Walcott went for the same amount before him also.
    Walcott was sold when they were in the championship.

    Ox was sold in August just as Southampton were about to start their championship season after promotion so technically he wasn't a league one player
  • If will be interesting to find out if the fee is published or undisclosed.
    Fingers crossed that it is around the £10m upfront and it then makes the club an attractive proposition for Roland to sell.
    Getting rid of the Belgians will do more for our chances this season than anyone coming in on a transfer could, methinks.

    As for the comparisons in price with previous deals, I think where we are no longer involved we've lost sight of prem money.

    When Shelvey went the TV deal was £1.7bn, before that when we sold Parker for £10m and Bent for £16.5m it was £1.0bn

    Iit's now £5.2bn.

    There is obscene money in the game.

    (5.2/1.7)*16.5 = £50.4m for Bent in 'todays money'.

    I agree with AFKA, we should have held out for at least three quarters of a billion.

    Maybe if we changed his name to Luckman and hawked him around the Chinese clubs.
  • looks like it's pretty much a done deal now.

    That's not Lookman
  • That's not Lookman
    Oops couldn't enlarge pic at first on phone - hides head in shame!
