With two bids in for Ademola Lookman from RB Leipzig and both being rejected out of hand as Everton stick to he’s either not for sale, or as the media report, they haven’t yet met our valuation of him, a section of fans are getting sick to death of hearing his name appear in print.
The latest, of course, is that having again taken to the media to try and conduct negotiations, Ralph Rangnick will return with a third bid that will tempt us into the £20million deal the press promote.
With many fans prepared to forgive him the illogical move to Leipzig last season, as opposed to fighting for his place or letting the club have a say in where he ended up owing to the talent he has, it’s hitting the point of no return now and many think his omission from the friendly against Bury was telling.
He was listed as being on the bench – but he was unused, so I’m not sure I buy into that. Others believe he didn’t play as Leipzig had someone in the stands – but they know what he can do but it was suggested in the local press.
If Everton didn’t play Ademola Lookman today purely because RB Leipzig were looking to send a scout to watch him play against Bury, that is excellent shithousery from everyone at the club. Superb stuff.

I reckon he’s requested the move and that’s why he didn’t play…nothing in the way of positivity about being at Everton from him,he wants out ????

Not good if we can’t entice talent though

Might be that they have already agreed to sell him though ????

Why do we need him really? If we have walcott and malcom he be sitting around anyway. Add poor attitude and all that on top. Might aswell make a nice profit. Hes going to bundes. Wont comeback to haunt us for many years.

Jesus we are talking about a player with a poor attitude, the club identified that and have tried to coach him, he is badly advised, a big chip, sell and be done in my eyes, RL had to pander to him at times! Last season when on loan

This is a kid who has done nothing whatsoever, read the German reporting he gets slagged off at times, yet EFC fans are arguing, am all for letting another big time Charlie go, just like Jeffers!

If his head has been turned now maybe that’s the change from not for sale to reports of £20million so we make a quick profit, the longer this goes on though and the player remains silent, I can only imagine tempers will become more frayed.
