Unlucky Luque Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 I could honestly see him turning Chelsea down and then being forced out a la Carroll. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
louistoon Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 It’s insanity to even consider selling Lascelles at present. He’s our most important player, our leader and a club icon. The only time we should consider selling is if he suddenly becomes s***/injury prone or starts thinking he’s bigger than the club. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronky Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 He's improving steadily, after a dodgy start, and 24 is still quite young for a centre back. Unless we get a silly offer (and £100m would be silly), I'd hang on because his value is likely to increase and we don't yet know how good he's going to become.

Jimburst Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 He's also being made good by being coached by Rafa. If we lose Rafa I'd expect his quality to fall. I don't know if that means we should sell him whilst we still have Rafa Obviously keep both would be my preferred course of action. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
loki679 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Keep him whatever they offer imo. He's our captain and brings more to the team than we can replace with a bag of cash that won't be reinvested anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Im in the keep him at all costs camp. The transfer fee (and only the transfer fee, nothing else) might be allocated to new players but that will as usual also have to include wages so we can at best get in a replacement that might or might not be as good, or we can get in 2 or 3 mediocre players to try and strengthen the whole squad who are unlikely to be good enough anyway.

The College Dropout Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Cahill has been awful every time I’ve seen him this season. Absolutely awful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 £30m at least - but if he gets an England cap then add on another £15m. would be even more pissed off about him leaving than I was with carroll. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 I could honestly see him turning Chelsea down and then being forced out a la Carroll. Well it's a theory which fits and has the usual suspects in the black hats and in the white hats, in the Barrack Road Ranch. Personally, I think he a highly ambitious young man and suspect his head would be well and truly turned by Champions League type interest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 He'll know he could commit to stay for Rafa who has shown him trust and then rafa could be sacked and joe kinnear lurched back into replace him and be back in the championship in no time. If the future is precarious for the club, and it always will be while ashley is in charge, we will struggle to keep players even ones not only motivated by money. And even then as much as we hate players for being greedy, Newcastle sink again, he may never get a serious chance at premier league wages again, wages that could keep him well fed for life. I wouldn't like it, I'd even dislike him for jumping ship but couldn't outright hate any player for thinking they will only be let down, because we will only be let down while Ashley is in charge.

Mbemba Youre A Womble Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Can't see him being forced out of the club quite like Carroll was. There was an agenda there with Llmbias at the time. He wanted rid of all the strong voices around the dressing room, and wanted to gut the club of all those that didn't sign that bonus sheet as soon as possible. Not saying that the club wouldn't take favourably to selling anyone for a pretty penny - but it's more likely this time round they'd allow Lascelles to stay on improved terms rather than hoy him out as first chance. He's bound to be on the radar of all kinds of clubs across Europe - that's the way football is nowadays - but until there is a bit more concrete reporting in the press about interest, not worrying one bit. Whatever that link that was posted up about Chelsea is nothing more than clickbait nonsense, that's manufacturing rumours. Could have quite easily replaced Chelsea with Arsenal, Spurs, hell even Dortmund. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 He signed a 5-year contract 3 months before he left, he didn't have to go. It's not rocket science that a club who'd just received £50m for Torres could offer a bigger package to what a newly promoted club could. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 If you get told by your bosses you're not wanted it kinda forces you out like. Of course Pardew would have done all he could to help Ashley out too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 £35m was huge. Naturally the club would want that. I doubt anyone outside the top 4-5 would have been able to say no but Carroll would have still been the main man had he stayed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Not sure what he was thinking tbh, we got very lucky there. A rare gift from a referee. Again I think it was an instinctive reaction that most defenders would have attempted to do, it was a slight nudge. He was very lucky though. It’s about time we had such luck mind!

Stifler Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 After doing pretty much a lap around the pitch after the final whistle to clap the supporters he then called a little girl over, took his top off, gave it to her, then shook hands with her dad.
