Andrew 5121 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 https://www.caughtoffside.com/2022/07/05/arsenal-and-newcastle-bid-for-sergej-milinkovic-savic-transfer/ Apparently Arsenal and ourselves have approached Lazio for Sergei Milinkovic-Savic as he wants away from Lazio. Seems like the valuations are some way apart but if we were to pull that one off our midfield would be looking incredible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7560 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Add Richie, Hendrick, Manquillo and M.Longstaff to that list. Not sure why we are keeping Lascelles and selling Fede? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 7478 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) Lascelles is too uncomfortable on the ball to play in this team so he'd on my top list to leave. Plus we could probably get a few million for him from one of the promoted teams. Edited July 6, 2022 by Holden McGroin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawb 4614 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Eddie Howe spoke about maintaining the atmosphere around the club, I can only assume he sees Lascelles as captain as an important part of that for now. Think he will probably be replaced as captain this coming season and leave next summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The video of them returning to training Lascelles seems very well respected by staff and seems very grounded and a decent bloke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig 6790 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I think some of the criticism levelled at Lascelles - not necessarily here but definitely in mainstream social media is harsh. And it's generally delivered by those who claim to never criticise on ability, only on effort. When things were utter shit back in 2016, he stood up when other more experienced around him did not. The match at Southampton sticks in my mind. Interesting to note Shelvey was in the side that day too but doesn't seem to come in for half the shit Lascelles does. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 23403 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) still think he's a good defender. he's more than good enough to get into a physical tussle with the lower/mid table sides and always looked competent in the middle of a back three with schar and fede wither side of him. i'm happy enough to keep him as fourth choice. he just panics with the ball at his feet and isn't as strong in a two, particularly when players run off his shoulder Edited July 6, 2022 by Dr Gloom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never understood why this cunt has gotten so many clean slates. Rafa had him sussed. As for Lascelles, sorry but time to move him on. We'd be better off blooding some of the young'uns if we get that desperate. The captaincy needs to go the Trips this season and nice guy or not, Jamal is worth more now than after 12 months of him sitting on the bench. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 36586 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 I think Lascelles has bulked up too much and it’s impacted his mobility and how quickly he can turn etc. Especially as he didn’t need it. Playing under Bruce hasn’t helped like. I’ve got time for him because he’s shown some good form in the past, is still young and also due to the attitude / commitment Craig alludes to 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
