Article about Lookman last week in the Independent - How Ademola Lookman slipped through the academy net before making his £11m move to Everton

Charlton picked him up after arranging a fixture for their U-16s against London FA in April 2014. I particularly enjoyed this bit:-

The Lookman story also shows that academies should not just scout for the best talent at 12, 10 or even eight, but that they should keep looking for talented boys who may have fallen through the cracks. Crystal Palace U16s had a game pencilled in against London FA back in April 2014 but it never happened. Had it taken place they would surely have signed Lookman, another south London youngster to add to their ranks. Last August Palace bid £6m for Lookman but it was not enough to buy the one who got away.

That's more like it.

I have a mate who constantly mixes his idioms. Things like 'a bird in the hand spoils the broth.' Trouble is he's an English teacher.

It's a better one. The first one is "no great stakes".
