Turkish transfer window is still open for more weeks, so no rush for them.

 

I'm guessing Hayden ends up over there.

QPR for Isaac buddy.

So unlucky. You don’t win prizes for guessing.

If he has 6 months left can't foreign clubs sign an end of contract freeby deal now? Perhaps that's what's going on.

He leaves for nothing in the summer. Maybe we might get some small fee if we do it now.

I would rather have the cover for the next 6 months then whatever nominal fee we get that probably doesn't even match what we paid for him a decade ago.

 

I know we can't generally afford to get sentimental but if he is to go, he more than most in the current squad has earned the right to get to go on a free and have free choice (after a rousing send off in the last home game).

Kinda mad that we didn’t resign him a year ago with the view of selling him for actual fee.

Maybe he didn't want to?

He would only leave if he wanted to go to Besiktas though, he wouldn’t be forced to. I think for 6 months we are well covered in CB position and if Lascelles is wanting the move this month, then he has earned that right too. Us picking up a bit of cash is a bonus if he does.

Agree. It makes absolutely no sense to move him on unless we are getting a reasonable fee. He's still only 29 and has mostly done a stellar job for us. Just shows how tight money is when clubs won't pay a fee for a proven PL CB.

Is he fit? Think there’s an argument for him starting against Luton. They’re a bit more agricultural and Jamaal is excellent in the air.

No it’s not.

[Lotus]

JT makes it sound like Luton might be a week early for him. 

[Krabbe2]

Nottingham Forest defender Joe Worrall has completed a loan move to Turkish Super Lig side Besiktas.

The 27-year-old moves to Turkey for the rest of the season, and Besiktas have the option to make the deal permanent in the summer.

 

So then it is probably reasonably certain that he will be. But then it should be thanks for the work and good luck in the future.

I know it's only one mistake and he did well to cover for Botman but this is the reason for me if he goes in the summer I won't be missing him.

[Lush Vlad]

He was Bramble’esque tonight. I thought he was brilliant until the mistake. No nonsense, aggressive and was passing it about with far more confidence than previous seasons, again. 
 

Then one monumental fuck up and he went to shit. Fell apart after that. 

[Guest]

Thanks for making me go to bed an hour later than I had to.

[Terrymac1966]

Bramble'esque is a very good analogy hopefully applied just tonight 

[Menace]

Whats happened to our CB's last few weeks man

[Big Geordie]

Yup - shades of Bramble tonight - we all know that he has a bad rick in him.

partly the lack

if protection/ confidence in the midfield in front of them imho

[Pilko]

He activated cart horse mode for their goal, not a clue what the fuck he was doing.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

A lot of the time I think he looks better than everyone assumes TBH. But definitely can be shown up when the game is scrappy and intense. That does apply to most CBs though TBF. 

 

Dire mistake tonight of course. 

[Kid Icarus]

That was like a homage to Titus Bramble. Exemplary for 90% of the match then did something inexplicable that of course got punished 

[Pata]

I really liked him most of the game. Looked very strong stepping up and intercepting things while being comfortable in possession. No idea what he did for the goal though, somehow just missed the ball entirely after the bounce from a fucking throw-in.
