I believe we have better facilities and our reserves football is more competitive than theirs, simply because there is no reserves football league in Germany.

Romey 1878 Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 I don't believe we had any moves lined up for him. Why would we if we weren't planning on sending him out on loan? I think he went and found this move off his own bat to get away. Quote “I was reluctant to let him go but he insisted,' Allardyce said, echoing his comments following Wednesday's win over Leicester. “So, rather than have a player who was going to have the wrong attitude around the place, he wanted to play some football. “For us and for him, I wasn't very keen on it based on the fact that we'd already let Aaron Lennon and Mirallas go but he really wanted to get some football. “We had another offer from a top Championship club but he chose Leipzig so he's got all his choices to go and get some experience and, hopefully, a lot of first-team football in the Bundesliga There clearly was another offer, but we didn't go looking for it. It came to us. markjazzbassist and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will develop as a person and player by moving abroad, experiencing different players, different tactics, learning a different culture. RBL actually try and play football too, we only do that on rare occasions! If he is sitting on our bench he isnt playing reserve football for us either so that makes no difference. As an example, if you were manager and you had the choice of a creative winger joining a Sam Allardyce team or a team managed by someone a bit like Klopp? A team that sit back and play the percentages or a team that want to win the ball high up the pitch and play aggressively with passion?

Cornish Steve Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 One thing’s for sure: Lookman has bruised Crooked Sam’s ego, so he won’t get any playing time under him when he returns. Just another reason I hope our current manager isn’t around by summer time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Its those comments about the price tag and appearances that just make Allardyce look stupid. He is right that Lookman wouldn't have made much of a difference (albeit my nan would have been better than Bolasie) but its just such a stupid, dickhead response.
