Jamaal Lascelles

[Nine]

No chance he leaves now imo 

[The Prophet]

I guess he's out of contract this summer, it'd help with FFP and we have Krafth. It'd still be a big gamble though. I'd rather not risk it until January.

[SUPERTOON]

Don’t think the offer we would get would be worth the risk tbh.

Depending on the fee, would they be prepared to go with Murphy/Krafth/Dummett/Burn as back up until January ?

Captain of a champions league team, should command a few around 50million right

It would be buttons.  Al-Shabab aren’t owned by the PIF - they don’t have megabucks to spend.

As a central defender?

[AyeDubbleYoo]

We can't sell him.

Think he means Alex Murphy 

[r0cafella]

He’s not going anywhere, and the source is teamtalk.

[Conjo]

There's obviously a fee that outweigh the negatives of leaving us short at CB cover, but I don't think that fee is something we'll be able to justify as fair market value or whatever the term used is. He'll stay.

[RobS]

if they let him go, for a fee for FFP reasons, it already feels like they gave up on the season lol

He'd be effective, but that's a straight red, surely?

All clubs in Saudi have been given money from the Sports minister. It’s just the PIF owned clubs have been given a blank chequebook.

Even lower leagues teams in Saudi are being given money to buy players from our EFL teams, and even non-league players.

They'd need to have absolute trust that Murphy could step up and do the job at a moment's notice, because none of those others would be up to it. Unless we are just writing off the games against strikers with pace.

[Smal]

Always rated Big Jam.

[nemtizz]

Couple nice passes into the midfield. I see you.

[Newcastle Fan]

All that time sitting on the bench watching Schar paid off, some superb passing from the back today!

[54]

His line breaking pass was the reason we scored tbh. Great performance from the lad.

[AJ9]

Thought he played some decent forward passes on the deck. Can’t believe him and Dummett kept them out

[clintdempsey]

Captain, my captain. Superb today! Love me a bit of Lascelles. 

[Kid Icarus]

Fair play, that's a couple of times he's performed well against Man City now.

[TRon]

Welcome back skipper. Looked proud as hell at full time.

[soyt]

No worries about this lad.

[The Butcher]

This cunt can head a ball longer than I can kick it. Absolute monster.

 

My captain.

[Lush Vlad]

Looked far more composed on the ball and with his passing. Which is odd, seeing as it was against such a good side. 
 

He was noticeably trying to pass through the lines and to feet. Usually with success, as well. Even the longer stuff was quite controlled. Not just blasting it anywhere like he often used to. 
 

It was noticeable how bad we were from the back without Schar and Botman to receive it short. But they are both well above average centre backs on the ball. 

[Holloway]

he was very good again when called upon, you just wonder about his ambition as he is at his peak years wise
