If Everton are keen to acquire Patrick Van Suckholt perhaps we could turn that into Lookman. We could even Everton their million back to secure the deal.

Anyone have thoughts?

I value Lookman highly for several reasons; he can score in the box, can score from long range, can take defenders on one v one, I feel he can link up well with Zaha & Townsend and most of all he is a young player we can build up for our future and we can offer him a bigger role than what he is getting at Everton.

Should go in for Lookman but can't really lose PVA. Started poorly and was one of the few not to improve when Roy came in but is ultimately our best left back.

I actually do still think he can offer a lot and it may be a confidence/attitude/fitness issue stopping him playing well. These things can be remedied.

What I don't think can be remedied is Schlupp's lack of being able to pass, dribble, tackle or touch a football. He's truly awful so I think if we're getting rid of a left back in January it will be Schlupp not PVA.

I don't know, seems like Roy prefers him to PVA at left back would love Lookman,

To call schlupp awful is harsh. Defensively I see him as a better fit than van aanaholt, but would pick PVA if we are chasing a game or not playing one of the big teams.

Schlupp has been solid during the recent good run. PVA looked a complete liability earlier in the season. I trust in Roy's judgement.

BS bought PVA I trust his judgement more than Roy.

To play him as a right back is ridiculous.

Play him on the left side as an attacker if you want a sub.

If Roy sells we will be back to the 'can't get a LB' scenario'.

Eagles transfer dealings as always daft as a brush.

Sell for a pittance and spend millions on people no better.
