Doubt they would sell him for less. £30m is no longer huge for a gifted 20 year old striker in today's market.

He's a really talented player who just needs game time and the right coach. He can play wide or upfront too and will be happy for understudy and regular cup minutes.

:playful:

I'm not spending 30m who once again would be our second most expensive signing all time for a guy who has 1 career premier league goal so he can play in cups. So glad some people on this forum don't run our club. That guy is fast and English that is the only reason you are interested in him. If he was from Germany, France or anywhere else in the world you would not think for a second that would be a smart decision. For the record I'm not writing him off but he is no where near worth 30m and no way would we ever do that deal.

That is some assumption to make about my knowledge of the game and Lookman in particular. An incorrect assumption might I also add.

He's no Andros Townsend, he's raw but hungry and the boy has talent too.

Brendan Rodgers and now Lookman for 30m.

I don't know about your knowledge, but you have have some very odd preferences

I never said I wanted Rodgers and that we should appoint him should Pochettino go. Any mention of Rodgers seems to create a ridiculous frenzy for some reason.

It was simply a suggestion that should we be looking for a domestic based manager, then I would prefer him to Eddie Howe for a number of reasons. I was baffled as to why the idea of Rodgers was being treated with much more ridicule than Howe when you compare their records.

Regarding Lookman, people need to stop obsessing over the fee I mentioned. Fuck knows what he'd cost but personally I don't think he'd come too cheap. I was simply saying that I think he'd be worth a big money gamble as he's homegrown but most importantly talented. I really don't think he's been given a fair crack of the whip at Everton. Maybe we could use that to our advantage to get any fee down, who knows.

Dier has been great in his DM role this season and everyone was frustrated (although I don't believe it was justified) when he was at CB. Why do you want to move him? The midfielder we need to bring in should be one to rotate with Dembele and Winks as it seems like neither of them can be fit at the same time.
@Trix are you disagreeing about Dier or that the CM should be the one to play the Winks/Dembele position?

I just don't know what we've seen thus far could justify he's worth a big money gamble. I don't want to make a big money move on an attacking midfielder/winger unless its Bale in all honesty.

That's a fair enough opinion that I respect.

What makes Lookman stand out is that he's two footed and can really ping it with both feet from what i've seen. He seems a competitive character and yeah what the hell he is fast which is never a bad thing for a forward.

He would be a good replacement for Llorente's place in the side imo, could play LW, RW and striker.

I think this guy is legit. He called moura pretty early. No idea if selling or buying though.

That link makes no sense. The only player on Juve that would really suit us is Dybala and that's impossible. He'd cost around £100M. Not happening.

Not that there isn't a chance of us doing business with Juve but it's a little vague ....

Dier for me is a stand in CM at best. Defensively he's good but his ball retention and passing, especially his long range passing is poor. If he kept it simple I'd appreciate him there more but he doesn't.

There was the Asamoah rumour, but that wouldn’t really be doing business with Juve as he’s going to be a free agent.
