STM Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 No way that Lascelles will be dropped, he's probably going to be captain. Combine injuries with Rafa's rotation and they will all get plenty of games. It's a good problem to have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 £5.5M + Add ons Only says £5.5M on the Sky's yellow ticker thingy. Where's the add on's being mentioned? Just a few people in Blackburn area on Twitter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I think he'll end up being a lot better than we are expecting. Sometimes you just want a central defender who does the basics right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

madras Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Nowt on RTG so I'll treat is as mere rumour till there's half a dozen threads on there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theregulars Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Wouldn't be remotely surprised if he was better than Williamson and Taylor so it's an upgrade, not sure why there would be any complaints. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conjo Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Good. Needed another one in around the level of Mbemba and Lascelles for competitiion and maybe most of all safeguarding against injuries. Lascelles had a quite bad injury record at Nottingham, so no guarantees that he will be available throughout the whole season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Proper rebuild job going on and it looks like we've got it pretty much bang on so far Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Wouldn't be remotely surprised if he was better than Williamson and Taylor so it's an upgrade, not sure why there would be any complaints. This is how I view the signing. He's not going to be a classy John Stones type of centre back, but he'll probably be a big hard bastard who will provide the no nonsense defending that Williams and Taylor were supposed to but never really delivered. Think of Robert Huth at Leicester. Hanley will be great in the championship, but also useful next year against the Tony Pulis or Allardyce style teams.

Kanj Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 Lascelles and Mbemba weren't exactly fit for the entire season last year as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

khay Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I'd be happy enough going into a Championship season with Dummet, Mbabu and Haidara for LB like. I think they have spent more time together in the doctors office than in match day squads. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stal Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I'm a lot happier now we've got another defender in. I wouldn't say no to another but at least I feel safer that we have cover and rotation options. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted July 20, 2016 Share Posted July 20, 2016 I just don't think any of them are good enough. Mbabu is promising but he isn't the right level yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
