Optimistic Nut Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Not sure what some people are expecting tbh. It's clear we need to sell at the moment, but it can't be Trippier, can't be Wilson, can't be Almiron, can't be Lascelles. Unless we're going to sell a Botman, Isak or Bruno, it's going to have to be someone like that. We're not getting £50m for Ritchie or Krafth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geordie Ahmed Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 With Lascelles, if we extend there is no guarantee we get a fee in the summer or next Also, maybe he's keen on experiencing football abroad, he's had a canny stint here and he knows he isn't first choice so wouldn't blame for wanting to go to Turkey Plus Istanbul is a class city Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For what it’d cost to extend him and what he brings in terms of leadership and consistent play, I’d rather have him back next season. Even if it means we don’t end up getting a fee in the future.

We get a nominal fee at best but then we get his wages off the books With an extension you are then stuck with him, even though he's shown he's more than capable I'd rather have a "3rd" choice CB that is closer in ability to the two that starts Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 If we can get a fee now, I'd go with Burn, Dummett and Krafth for the rest of the season like. Go for a new CB in the summer to push Schar. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1892 Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 We should be offering him a new contract rather than getting rid for a nominal fee, especially if no replacement is coming in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I agree with this. He has done well coming in for Botman and never put a foot wrong. He gets so much grief but he’s not that bad a player.

He's one injury away from starting again. See if we can finish in Europe. See if we buy another CB. Again - if I were him - i'd be delighted with how the season has panned out for himself from a selfish POV. He started the season 4th choice at the back. He's now a trusted 3rd choice and had a long run in the side. Captained the team in the CL several times. Equally it could be mission accomplished. Played a proper role now since the takeover.

Nobody Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 Baffling how many on here are prepared to write off the rest of the season. Still in the FA Cup and a couple of wins away from Europe in the league. Be mental to let our third choice CB go now for what I would assume is basically nowt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's also an injury to himself away from being out of contract and without a club in the summer so that's probably a factor in his mind I guess a lot will depend on the length of contract he is being offered too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's played well this season mind. Someone will grab him. He would be great in a Dyche team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it stands, we have Lascelles, Dummett and Krafth out of contract at the end of the season leaving us with Botman, Schar, Burn who is first choice left back and Murphy who is a young kid who would benefit from a loan to get games. I expect us to buy another centre back but that still won’t give us the depth we need. Lascelles is dependable and good enough to be fourth or fifth choice if he is happy with that.

I agree, a centre half pool of Botman - Schar - Young Schar - Lascelles seems pretty strong... Burn then becomes a floater between left back and centre half cover. First choice left back is an issue, torn between Tino on the wrong side or buying a left back but would need to sell Targett for that and not sure who would buy Tino as first choice left back means little or no rest for him and Trippier but I think Tino needs to be and should be a starter Edited January 25 by Monters Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
