Guy has everything apart from good passing ability.

Have a soft spot for him as he has always seemed to give 100% for us every game regardles if whether that was sufficient or not.

Keep for back up!

I don't imagine financially we'd want a lot, but I am curious to see what appetite there is from Eddie Howe to do the deal. By all accounts Lascelles is an important dressing room influence and removing that leadership early in the season may be seen as destabilizing.

How do people think he'd do in Turkey?

 

I currently have a student from Turkey who's a big Besiktas fan and is asking me about Lascelles.

 

Says they need a CB urgently.

 

Would he do well at that level, do we think?

 

I still think he can do a job for a lot of PL teams tbh. He's not great at bringing the ball out, but he's a solid defender, and he scores the odd goal from set pieces as well. I'd be happy to keep him as cover if no one wants to cough up decent money for him, and by decent money I would say around £8m.

To be fair to him, everyone is saying he is bad with the ball at his feet and that was true when we last saw him play regularly, under Bruce.

 

it’s not inconceivable to imagine this area of his game has improved after nearly 2 years of Howe. He played a brilliant ‘schar’ ball to Gordon in the pre season friendly against Villa.

Tbh I'd go as far to say as far as central defenders go, he's great at attacking set pieces. I think if he'd have had more playing time through an injury to either Schar or Botman, he might have caused Howe some questions as he's so much better than either attacking the ball. He didn't get much of a run with Trippier when Trippier first joined because of his injury, and was then displaced that summer with Botman so we never got to see it much.

 

Disclaimer : Never in a million years should he start ahead of either right now, but to see Lascelles attack more of Trippier's set pieces would have been good.

Aye just seen the footage now. Looks like him like. Someone gets a sneaky smack in the side of his face. 

Very hard to tell, but it looks like he more than returns the favour at the end of the clip.
