Lookman has been away from us for ages, but not really done the business other than in his first loan spell at RBL. That 5 year contract they gave him was a massive vote of confidence which hasn't really paid off
Don't put the mortgage on this happening, Leicester going after CHO on a perm 😳
Reading, already a team with massive financial issues, taking on a huge wage in Drinkwater for a season.
Sadly that means nothing anymore. The independent committee have proven that they’re not willing to properly punish clubs in championship for being a financial mess. I’m sure Reading look at overspending with an attempt to reach the PL worth the worst case scenario of a 6-point deduction next season.

I don't think reading are even paying 10% of his wages, Chelsea just want him out the way.
How United managed to get £30m for a player that wasn't even close to the first-team is beyond me. Leeds should've got him for £15m max.
30m in todays market is nothing though, players coming out of the championship go for that these days. This is a player who's played over 70 games for Man utd in 2 and a bit years, so how was he not close to the first team?
People also need to remember that looking a bit average for Man Utd doesn't exactly mean you're shit. They're a huge club and the levels expected are higher than most other clubs. Look at the stick Lingard used to get, then he went to West Ham and looked brilliant most weeks.
I've no doubt that James in a Leeds team who realistically are aiming to finish top 10 again, will look a very good player, as he'll be surrounded by players who aren't as good.
Interested to see how Cook keeps all these players happy. They have 7-8 attacking players that would be starting every week at any other league one club.
Leicester look very weak in that attacking wide role, might still go for CHO but I don't think Chelsea will let him go this summer anyway. I do think he'll leave Chelsea next couple of windows.

Ipswich sign Bersant Celina on loan
Can see him going out on loan in January.
Wasn't a million pound loan fee mentioned a few weeks ago?
I still think that is his strongest position. He can happily play behind another big striker.
Lets go! I assume that kills off their interest in CHO
First Kirk, now Lookman, I'm on a roll........
Preparation for the sale of Colby Bishop?
