Cawley needs to change that tweet. CAFC doesn't get a cut. Tightfisted Roland does. In his own words on the lines of "part of the lookman deal is going to the developed sparows lane training ground". and we all know where that went.0

I watched all of Lookman's home games for us. When his tricks didn't work - it was about 50/50, with the pirouette, the cute step-over - he would pass directly to the opposition. From which they would advance - and score.
Perhaps RB Leipzig have a better defence than ours. Which was managed by weak men, and coached by Jackson.
Since Duchatelet no longer invests in us, it hardly matters if we miss out on sell-on cuts or transfer fees, as with Konsa and Aribo. Who cares? It's his loss.13 -

Whatever, I’m claiming him!killerandflash said:
Our role in Lookman is pretty small really. Signed from Waterloo aged 16 then sold 3 years later for a decent feese9addick said:So with Lookman + Konsa’s moves this summer, plus what Gomez is likely with now we are talking about three players collectively valued at around £100M, that’s pretty incredible work by our academy.
By contrast the fees for Konsa and Gomez were much smaller AND we had them from a younger age, so the "expense" of developing them was much higher0 -

Christ. A touch of the "pot", "kettle" going on there.Swisdom said:I spoke to the delightful Ms Meire when we sold Ademola and she said she deliberately inflated the price because she knew "the owners at Everton were both very wealthy and very stupid."
Sincerely hoping for a good sell-on too2 -
Lookie is my favourite ex Charlton player (now Yann has retired). I wish him well at RBL.0
-
Breaking News - it’s been revealed that when Lookman joined Everton Roland agreed to a clause whereby if Everton sold him for less than 25m Charlton would make up the difference.10

Was our defence being coached by Jackson in the seasons Lookman was here? I am pretty sure he was not.Viewfinder - The moronic said:I watched all of Lookman's home games for us.

I remember the 12 goals and 3 assists in 49 appearances at the age of seventeen or eighteen.
I also remember him going to a new league in a new country and scoring 5, assisting 4 in 11 games.
When he's played for Everton he has scored 4 and assisted 2 in 48 games. It's only been for them that he's seemed to struggle and that has to be either mismanagement or tougher defences in the Premier League, but he's done it in Germany, where their defences are set up similarly. Which leaves just mismanagement...0 -
Over £30m in transfer fees for a 21 year old would tend to suggest you have rocks in your head and and very wrong.Viewfinder said:I watched all of Lookman's home games for us.

and in how many of those 48 games for Everton did he actually start? In total for Everton he's played about 28 hours football. No wonder he's struggled.Dazzler21 said:

Viewfinder still hasn’t justified his scandalous post of a week or so ago inferring that JJ grassed up Tony Watt and that was the reason he had to leave us.
He often drops in sly bits of unsubstantiated innuendo into his posts but then doesn’t reply to anyone who questions him about it .....enjoys fishing and spreading false gossip.
Complete waste of space as far as I’m concerned.

Has Lookman actually been sold or is it just more transfer rumours.1

Sky sports news reporting Ademola in Germany now having a medical, transfer value of £16m plus add on's reported.
If correct, and I believe it was reported we got £8m plus add on's from Everton.
Cafc could be in line for say 20% ? Of the £8m profit.
£1.6m not to be sniffed at, although LB will likely see none of it.

Standard are reporting a 15% sell-on fee. If that’s correct, it’s another dismal example of poor negotiation by Katrien/Roland0

Cleaning or spraying?1 -
Tbf £8M upfront plus 15% for a young kid with little experience and I think (but stand to be corrected) when we were in L1 was not a bad deal. The transfer market happens to have gone absolutely nuts in the last 2 years since we sold too. Most sales of our kids have been awful, this one I think was reasonable value at the time.Blucher said:Standard are reporting a 15% sell-on fee.

I have to agree only transfer fee that they negotiated that was reasonable.1
-

I agree that £8 million was reasonable as a basic fee but the majority of sell-on fees tend to be in the 20-25% range. Lookman was one of the most exciting young attackers available and, although we were in League 1, he had proved in our previous relegation season that he could do it on the Championship.
Still, I suppose the sell-on fee is 15% better than that for Konsa. It also presumably dilutes of one of Duchatelet’s demands for contingency payments should he ever actually get to sell the club. Gomez isn’t going anywhere and Pope has just signed a new contract at Burnley.
Good luck to Ademola in Germany. He certainly has a point to prove to Silva, who always preferred Walcott and Bernard, despite many inept performances.2
