Administrator Stan Posted January 31, 2018 Administrator Posted January 31, 2018 2 days ago Allardyce said he wasn't going out on loan anywhere
Lucas Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Lookman is a complete mystery to me. I don't understand how this kid has not been given a go, I really don't. How is he suitable for a team like Leipzig and not Everton? Odd.

Allardyce, as far I can remember, hasn’t ever blooded youngsters or gambled on them in the first team against experienced pros.
HK85 Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 A disgraceful decision. Should be on our left side every week.
Smiley Culture Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 “We didn’t vote Brexit so this could happen” said Allardyce as he takes a swig of his pint of gravy.
Subscriber RandoEFC+ Posted February 1, 2018 Subscriber Posted February 1, 2018 We really are unbelievable. Sandro wanted by Sevilla, Klaassen wanted by Napoli and Lookman wanted by Leipzig, all significantly better sides than us but apparently none of them are good enough to get a look in ahead of Schneiderlin, Davies, Calvert-Lewin, Niasse, Lennon or an unfit Bolasie. An absolute comedy we are.
Faithcore Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Lookman is a scumbag anyway. We all know that.

To be fair mate; Germany is only catching up with a trend that has long been occurring elsewhere in Europe. Clubs formed and run by a community in the modern age is ... well it’s over. I’d like to point out that the Qatari ownership at PSG is a million times worse than anything RBL represent

I'm getting your point but it's still not acceptable for me and I should not be for everyone who has love for football. I strongly disagree about your last point though. IMO there is nothing worse than Red Bull. Just look what they did to Austria Salzburg. They completely destroyed that football club. Took their club colors away, changed the club logo and wanted to erase all of their history.

But compare that to a state regime of a country with a history of questionable human rights pouring a nations money into a football club; rather than its own people. I respect your stance but the two aren’t comparable.
Administrator Batard Posted February 1, 2018 Administrator Posted February 1, 2018 Although in fairness @Faithcore, you are right about my other point. Just because something is becoming the status quo, it doesn’t mean you should have to respect it without question.

If you are putting it that way you are definitely right but it's simply for a different reason.

I agree in general, but to be fair, Qatar is one of the richest countries with one of the highest living standards in the world;i t's not like the nation is starving because the state regime is pouring money into a football club, this is a sort of a marketing ploy for them (just like football is for Red Bull - haha). Don't get me wrong though, it's still absolutely despicable, and a country doing it is a higher level of madness compared to a corporation.

It is despicable.Despite the living standards, the human rights infringements of its workers is appalling. I recall the horror stories of stadium workers dying due to working conditions and the authorities attempted to hush it up.
Faithcore Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 Franz Beckenbauer on Qatar: I haven't seen one slave there. They all move freely and are not attached to chains whatsoever.

Administrator Stan Posted February 1, 2018 Author Administrator Posted February 1, 2018 Maybe Beckenbauer needs to look up the phrase 'modern slavery'.
Faithcore Posted February 1, 2018 Posted February 1, 2018 For a moment I forgot that for non-Germans it isn't so obvious that Beckenbauer is talking nonsense all the time.

It's pretty much the same in all Gulf countries, horrible.

I can't believe you've loaned out such an exciting young talent, to a side with CL aspirations. Meanwhile you are looking not all that great and he's looking like he's got the raw attributes to be a very good player. I will say it's probably good for his development to go abroad to test himself and play more attacking football. But it's definitely not good for Everton.
