I can’t see Lascelles leaving unless they’re 100% confident of a replacement being sorted. Even then, I think you’d see the replacement signed before they sold him on

 

Ideally we'll soon have some properly highly rated youngsters coming through our ranks who have the quality to provide the cover required. With Lascelles we know his ceiling.

[PaddockLad 17281]

Centre back you say? 🤔

You’re just pissed off I’ve outdone you in the meme stakes this morning

Fuck I hope not, we wanted him on loan, cant see us shelling out 40 million for him now when hes spent the 5 months since not playing

[Holden McGroin 6587]

I think he is excellent but his injury record is a bit iffy.

I wonder how SLP is doing these days.

[Dr Gloom 21924]

Let’s face it, we’re going to be linked with every player going in January. 

Let the good times roll

40 mill could be good value IF the following are true:

1. He's not frequently injured

2. He allows us to raise our profile in the USA in the lead up to the next World Cup

3. He's not on ridiculous wages that could upset our apple cart

[The Fish 10857]

Better ways to spend £40m imo

[Ayatollah Hermione 13873]

It’ll be like the striker search where there was about a dozen names mentioned and then Isak rocked up out of nowhere 

[Kevin Carr's Gloves 3894]

I think all our buys will be under the radar

[MrBass 2651]

Dan Ashworth be like,

The bloke is 29, it’s pretty evident he will not feature regularly here again. He could be a decent player in the right side, he will be offski of his own choice soon I would have thought.

Obviously not in quiet the same dummees oot the pram way as Man U’s 3^rd choice keeper. But I’m pretty sure he will ask to leave for the benefit of his own career.

Nottingham Forest?

Probably in actual fact.

Although dropping down a division for a lad who has played in the top flight for 7 out of the last 8 seasons will be a bit of a pisser.

Burn, Botman, Schar and one other brought in perhaps? The rest all make sense, we don't really need them, ritchie has hardly played, fraser is back of the queue in an area we're looking to make stronger.

 

Gvardiol 🙏. Imagine Gvardiol and Botman as our CB pair  both left footed but one can dream.

Sounds like an ointment, kiss your piles goodbye with Gvardiol and bolster your back line.

That would be nice wouldn't it, I'd like someone with a bit of pace about them as our next Cb and Lb, otherwise we're ending up with a really slow back line.

[Howay 12496]

Aye would be good to have some genuine pace back there, as you say it’s the one thing our back line really lacks currently, their positioning is brilliant but it’s always good insurance to have someone that’s fucking rapid. 
 

It’s still mental to just look forward to the window, we know we will get some top class talent as we have in the previous two windows.

True, but he's 29yrs old, so he's still probably got 2-3 seasons left. Move to Forest in January, Lead them back up next season as a senior pro. Lovely welcome back at St James', you know the whole applaud his first touch then boo his next,  he laughs, we laugh, lovely stuff. Then we put the 5 past him to secure the title. 

[Craig 6682]

To be honest I half expected Lascelles to head back to Forest in the summer.
