OK fellow posters - here's a poser - be honest:
If Ademola Lookman really wants to leave - AND we could get an appropriate fee for him AND we could recruit a decent replacement - would you be prepared to say "business is business" and let him go? What if it wasn't RB Leipzig who wanted him, but an English club?

If the player doesn’t see his future at Goodison then let him move on. Get a good fee from a foreign club and a ridiculously high one from an English club. That said with a heavy heart.

If a player wants to leave let him leave no point in keeping him.

That's exactly what I always say. If they don't want to play for us and want to move on then look for a solution to the problem. Whether it be a transfer, loan deal or release. Obviously some of the players aren't always amongst the level needed to make the first team squad and some just want to play regular football, I get that. All circumstances are different depending on what the individual wants/ needs.

Of he goes then I would insist on a buy back clause.

Not sure what we insert in clauses currently but I think we need to be including buy backs and sell ons, we have a great academy
If Besic leaves I think we should have a buy back there as well, I think we could regret letting him leave if he can prove his fitness although right now I feel it’s right for Besic to go.

Good to read rational replies from my fellow posters.
Cue some trolling from the usual contrarians ;-)

The sun is out Bobby so they stay under the bridges and in the shadows.

I think keeping him is vital. I think he wants to leave (if true) due to the lack of faith showed in him. Maybe he feels undervalued and wants more opportunities. If that is the case then I believe that could be reversed. Would be gutted to loose him. I think SA messed up big time not playing him even when we were safe.
