Jamaal Lascelles (now playing for League One Leicester City)


Recommended Posts

Got a lot of love for Lascelles. Shame about his earlier injury as he was in the mixer amongst our defense and really doing quite well at times.

 

Good luck in Leicester bud.

Does this make Jacob Murphy our longest serving player?

Yes. And I think Joelinton is second (or maybe Kraft).

I spent most of his time here not rating him, but he definitely seemed to improve with age and would always put in a good shift when called upon by Howe. PSG at home was obviously his finest hour and I imagine he'll remember him and Schär absolutely bossing Mbappe and Dembele forever.

Remember that PSG at home match? Like dang. Showed up and fucking performed. After so long out. He’ll be a legend for that for always. 

Don't forget the time he got booked against Arsenal, while being an unused sub. 

 

Classic! 🤣

Doesn't he have to be fit to grt through a medical?

I think it’s fairly obvious he is fit (although match fit may be another question), but everybody quietly agreed that if he was leaving, it probably wasn’t worth him coming back and playing a few minutes here and there.

We've been absolutely spoiled by likeable centre-backs during the majority of his time here; were in not for Schär and Burn he'd probably be my favourite of all. 

 

While not being an amazing player, he's had far, far more good games than bad in a Newcastle shirt, and for a decade now he's clearly been a great leader on and off the pitch. 

 

I've got really fond memories of him as a brick wall in the Championship and a dependable player when we came back to the PL under Rafa. His form when he returned to the side in 2023/24 was crazy; it wasn't just the PSG game - where he was immense - he was fantastic in general during that spell. 

 

Seems that ACL has been really cruel to him and I'd love to see him get back to playing regularly at Leicester. Feels like a good move for him.

Makes you wonder why he hasn't had any minutes for us if he's fit. 

 

Wow, how ignorant. You clearly can't remember the 6 minutes he came on for in our goalless draw away to Bournemouth this season.

Should've had a testimonial before he left us. 

For what benefit?

 

He won’t need the money. 
 

When do you fit in a ‘match’, other than pre-season?

 

There’s obviously a case for doing something where the proceeds go to charity, see Shearer, but he was obviously a special case, given his gravitas, and the fact he already had a foundation set up.

 

I also get it in that he deserves some form of formal thank you, or show of appreciation, for his years of service, but I think the world of football has moved on from testimonials.
