NG32 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 The London lights will be calling Lascelles. He might get his head turned if a decent club came in, but West Ham? I doubt it. The London pull, I dont think he'll be arsed its West Ham. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The London pull, I dont think he'll be arsed its West Ham. How do you know he wants to be in London? Not everyone is drawn to it, he seems quite a serious lad who is keen to learn from Rafa. If he thought Rafa was leaving at the end of the season that's another story, but even then I think he'd want a move upwards not down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiresias Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Doubt his agent would be agitating if he'd outright said he wants to stay full stop. May just be keeping his options open in the eventuality no signings arrive, players are sold and none arrive (albeit positive to snag Kennedy) but I'm not convinced he would totally rule out a big pay-rise as well as escape from the clown show. He may also be very upset not to get a look-in for England. Not sure why he'd pick West Ham mind. For the record the Club should not sell at any price, we would fall apart without him and would not replace him in all likelihood. If we are offered more than £30m we will sell however.

NG32 Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 London has a massive pull on players decisions, not all players but it does have a big pull. Hence why some Northern clubs have to payer a high a wage to attract players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheHoob Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 As a young lad with basically unlimited funds I couldn't imagine there being many better places to live that London like. I love Newcastle obviously but there's hardly a comparison, unless it's a quieter life someone is after. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonTastic Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 There was stuff mentioned last week that Rafa had requested a new contract for Jamaal even though he had only recently signed one. He sees it as supporting the players when they improve. They get better he backs them to get more from their deal. I do wonder if this has something to do with agents trying to force the clubs hand. Show a willingness to stay by signing a new contract as well as the club showing they want to keep you by offering it. We'll see I guess. Either way £20m is embarrassing and insulting to the player.

Guest Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 I have faith we’ll turn down big fees, the fear is I’m guessing he’s on about £70-80k a week here, if West Ham are offering £100-125k a week, I doubt we’re going to match it. That’s where his agent will be pulling at him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 London has a massive pull on players decisions, not all players but it does have a big pull. Hence why some Northern clubs have to payer a high a wage to attract players. Bollocks. London clubs pay more seeing as it costs 2 grand a month to live in a shed, here.

High Five o Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Way to low offer, but I understand why they are testing the water, Ashley might accept something like 30-35 for him, buy cheap, sell high. Textbook. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Textbook. He sold Andy Carroll before all the top flight money for that much. No chance he'd sell that cheap. He may be happy to sell players (though to be fair usually only when we get relegated) but he tends to get their true worth for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think plenty of British players are bothered, but I think it's more the ones who have never spent more than 10 minutes in Newcastle that just assume it's a barren wasteland full of dole monkeys and bh home bargains's's. Basically they think the North is just an array of Sunderlands. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 What's Pellegrini meant to be like as a manager? Can't imagine (biased obv) someone wanting to leave Rafa for anyone but one of the top 3 in the world no matter the geography. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
