We aren’t letting Lascelles go this month imo, we would need a replacement if we did and he’s by all accounts a great character and leader in the dressing room, something Howe will want to keep mid season.
He’s out of favour for supposed poor work rate and attitude, can’t see us being interested at all.
Reports the other day also said we turned down the chance to go for him as we want someone younger.
I think or i certainly read the prem experience thing as a preference for January signings, can understand him wanting someone ready to come in straight away mid season to make an impact. Not sure it will be such a big factor in the summer.
