Jamaal Lascelles

They get £££££ a week and they are wortied abput bonuses!

That's what I was thinking, you get £30-50k per week but want a bonus to do your job properly [emoji16]

[Guest firetotheworks]

No, you simply want what you were promised, just like anyone else would.

Especially if that's the norm for the industry you're working in.

Also, as i read it, the bonus was an extra 1m for 'staying up' and now the new bonus system includes extra bonuses for each place higher in the table, plus the 20m for winning the FA cup.

[Unbelievable]

Exactly.

 

Maybe Jamaal should sort out the January transfer budget for Rafa while he's got Mike's ear.

[Jimburst]

I can't quite believe it actually happened, like.

What a guy, taking captaincy to another level, he's only 23 ffs

Getting the bonus scheme changed from £1M flat for avoiding relegation, to £4M plus an extra £1M for every extra place gained under the notoriously tight Mike Ashley, that's a hell of an achievement like

[mrmojorisin75]

Is this fact then, the £1m per place? I mean is that on a par with other clubs?

 

It seems utterly ridiculous to me like but might reflect our wage structure I guess.

[Zero]

Wait, from what I read before the original offer is 1m for 17th and additional 1m for each place above.  The players aren't happy for this and ask for similar offer with our rivals.  Later Captain called the fat c*** and the offer becomes 4m for 17th and additional 1m for each place above, and an additional 20m for FA cup.

 

So basically the player is asking for more survival bonus (3m). The bonus for each place above is the same.  Whether this is similar to our rivals is unknown, but I won't be surprised if our rivals still have better deals.

If it's true about the £1m increment per position then I prefer ours. More incentive to go and win every game even if we're safe by April for instance. They were going to get £8.5m just to stay up, and even finishing 14th it only went up to £9m.

 

In terms agreed before the current season, it is understood that a pot of £8.5m will be shared out in the event of Burnley finishing 17th.

Each place higher up is worth an incremental amount. Burnley sit in 14th position at present, which equates to approximately £9m.

Leicester were going to receive £5m for staying up in 2015, up to £6m if finishing 15th or higher.

Sounds positive overall (if true)

It does. Surprisingly written by Luke Edwards.

[Darth Crooks]

Sick of hearing about this cunt.

[Mr Logic]

I don't see why that indicates anything about Rafa's future; cynical view - more like the club (read Ashley's plan) protecting potential profits/revenue.

 

The closing sentence of that article, but Newcastle sources have indicated he has been extremely positive and upbeat since returning to work after an operation last week., well, that's just Rafa, getting on with the job. He's not going to walk around with his pet-lip quivering and moaning to anyone who'll listen.

What a guy, taking captaincy to another level, he's only 23 ffs

 

I heard that whilst he was on the phone to Ashley, he was also putting a ship in a bottle.

[Sho Time]

As much as I like him as a character, I can't help but feel he has obvious limitations that even Rafa struggles to cover up. When Rafa goes (could easily happen at the end of the season) we could be lumbered with a bit of an oaf for an extra 4 years who is lost without that direction.

 

Although I suppose we would be where we deserve to be the way Ashley runs things, and he'd be a very good Championship defender...

Not think he would have talked about it with Benitez before signing?

Odd, but fair play for creative disrespect  :gm's patter:

[Cronky]

I'm not yet sure about Lascelles. He did occasionally get dropped in the Championship last season, and of our three main CBs, I could still see him being the one left out if everyone's fit.

 

For a centre back, he's quite good on the ball - my question marks would be against his decision-making and his physicality (or lack of it). The first area can definitely improve, and maybe the second area is partly about confidence.

 

Hopefully the guy can continue to develop this season, because apart from anything else, we need a leader out there.

[Dinho lad]

Lascelles' physicality...?

[aussiemag]

His physicality is fine. He just lacks a quick turn of pace and his concentration/positioning goes at times.

[Mole_Toonfan]

Questioning his physicality but thinking he's good on the ball
