Atalanta is beginning to degrade out of the team it used to be and this is majorly due to the way they built the game initially around Ademola Lookman the previous year. This is not to justify their dwindling stance but to urge the team to look inwardly, in as much as Ademola Lookman could not secure a move, he should be integrated into the team while coaching up his replacement. The team misunderstanding is also influencing his output in this ongoing international game. You can tell his unsettled heart from his countenance during the break. If the team reintegrate him, it would be more profitable for them when the transfer window opens in January. But leaving him out of the games would cause both economic waste and self degradation.
I think that is the best thing to do at the moment, to integrate Lookman back into the squad while they look around for good replacement in the next window. For the time Lookman can be a strong force for the team until the next window when he can finally get a move away for a new challenge elsewhere.
Lookman isn't an easy player. That's why I believe he needs to be brought into the team. Lookman wanted to transfer and couldn't get it done this season. However, he must still do his best for Atalanta. This is what professionalism demands. Furthermore, if he falls out with Atalanta, they won't sign him until the mid-season transfer window. Without match experience, a player will constantly regress.
