themanupstairs Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Lascelles won't leave NUFC until he's lifted a trophy. He knows it's coming, and he knows it's only a matter of time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovejoy Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Honestly don't think any of our lot will want to abandon ship, great team spirit, we'll be back in the prem in six months time and Rafa will have us competing in a couple of years time. I agree. Can't see lascelles leaving. How mad is it that we're in the Championship and are confident we won't be losing anyone to Chelsea. That´s rather optimistic.. If clubs like Chelsea comes calling I mean Maybe you're right, but it certainly isn't anywhere near as clear cut as it was 12 months ago. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 We have supposedly been scouting a few centre half and if we look like going up by January I wonder if we will look at getting a player in that position who would be signed to become our first choice centre half (with a neat 4 months to bed in) Whilst this could be a Lascelles replacement more likely Mbemba is off if he couldn't make the bench this weekend and had hardly been seen since Wolves.

Ikon Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 If we'll let anyone go it'll probably be Hanley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wallace Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 I don't think the club will do anything to risk promotion. They are losing Mbemba for the ACoN so to sell Lascelles in January would make no sense. If there were offers for him in the Summer and Rafa thinks he can find better, then he will go. He is doing well at the moment but it has only been the last 6 months so he still has a lot to prove especially in the Premier League. If he continues to improve, he will be in demand due to the lack of good English centre halves. I am not sure of his contract situation but he probably deserves a new one now that he is captain and I bet many of his teammates are earning a lot more than him. Maybe one with incentives based on promotion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 It would be shocking to sell our captain half way through a campaign imo Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrmojorisin75 Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 i would say he's certainly due a contract like, him and darlow given it'll be 3 years ago they signed come next summer and they've both made the first team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

afar Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 Lascelles isn't a top tier premier league defender True right now but under Rafa, I have zero doubts he will become that, I'm pretty sure the change in Clark since he joined us has a lot to do with the coaching he's recieving. I've certainly not seen anything from John Stones to suggest he is worth the money Man City paid and that's your benchmark right now for young English CBs.

I think He#ll become a good premiership defender but zero dounts he'll be a top one, don't know wher you see that. As for Clarke, he's a decent defender playing slightly below his level in a team that dominates the opposition most of the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 18m would be an outrageous fee like Would it? I don't think it would be these days. Considering this lad is at the start of his career but good enough to captain our team, I'd be gutted if we sold him for that much. It's certainly not a fee we could say is 'too good to turn down'. Young English players tend to go for over-inflated fees anyway and when you have the likes of Everton bidding a similar fee for Kone from the mackems after a handful of good performances, it looks about the norm.

Holloway Posted October 30, 2016 Share Posted October 30, 2016 On this particular journey we are going to move on some, but not many is my guess. Really hope we hang onto Lascelles, captain material is hard to come by Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
