Tiresias Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Also if he does go and there is that modern thing where every single ex player gets booed in the stadium when he visits someone needs to have words. It's a weird thing now, or is it just me that notices it? Perez got booed, now can understand a bit people not thinking he was any good (he was imo) but we got £30m for him somehow, he wasn't worth that lol (sorry Leicester). Now he then did procede to kick the shit out of our players so earned the boos by the end, but wonder if part of that was trying to make a point from the booing?

Interpolic Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 10 minutes ago, The Butcher said: Getting rid of Lascelles and replacing him would a young CB with pace would be sensible business. Think versatility is key with young signings. Get a young centre half who can also play full back and the player who can play across the front 3 we've not had since Remy. Means we're covered better and they'll get more minutes instead of being sat on the bench stagnating. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledGeordie Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Unless there’s an obvious replacement for Lascelles he’s not going anywhere this January. I’ll be amazed if he doesn’t go in the summer though, perfect time to leave. He’s not going to get any game time and we’ll almost certainly bring in a young right sided CB to challenge Schar.

The College Dropout Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 I wold only sell Lascelles if we get in a Schar replacement. A Schar replacement is likely in the summer and would probably cost north of £30m+. I wouldn't sell Lascelles to sign someone else to come in and sit on the bench. He's fine as 4th choice for now.

I’d imagine they might look at or have a loan option lined up if this went ahead. Why would we brng someone in on loan to replace our 4th choice CB captain and dressing room leader?? As in... sell someone who isn't likely to play but is a leader in the squad... for someone else who isn't likely to play, who isn't a leader in the squad or even a commited playerr.

I don’t think leadership comes into it, we’ve got plenty of those. If they want Neves and selling Lascelles enables that that’s all I mean. I think he’ll go in the summer.

It's not Lascelles that needs to be replaced, it's Schar. Replace Schar in the first-team. Move him down the pecking order. Lascelles becomes surplus to requirements.

Schar and Burn will become the 3rd and 4th choice CBs I reckon. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledGeordie Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 (edited) Fwiw I think next season we could see 4 new potential starters - left back, right CB, winger and midfielder. Edited January 14, 2023 by ExiledGeordie Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schar has been quality but is 31. I don’t think it’s unreasonable that next season we’ll look to bring in a young right sided CB who is as good as or better than him to challenge for that position. That gives us depth which we’ll need particularly if we’re in Europe. We aren’t going to be able to play the same 11 week in week out next week and we’ll always plan for the future.

rebelrouser Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 Our defence is outstanding and our attack not so much but still good. Seems like forward or midfield for the January window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best defensive record in our history. ”Replace Schar” It’s not a priority at all. But the next first team CB we buy will be to take Schar’s slot (performance permitting), not an 18-year-old understudy. The way we’ve signed Isak for Wilson. Burn, Schar, Longstaff, Willock, Joelinton, Almiron, we’ll sign players over the next 18 months with the aim to take their starting spots. Some will work, some won’t, the existing players may get even better but we’ll aim to improve the XI. Arsenal have 2 wonderkids tearing it up on the wings. They’ve bought another one. Thats how it is at the top of the game. Edited January 14, 2023 by The College Dropout Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rebelrouser Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 ASM not likely to score a lot and will Isak be that much of an improvement over Wilson? He's certainly necessary with Wilson's injury history. Would like to see Joelinton play in midfield rather than lw too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Away Toon Posted January 14, 2023 Share Posted January 14, 2023 If we can strengthen a bit in this window and get say 15 quality players in the squad rather than the 12/13 we currently have we should be looking at a top 5 finish especially with the current form Chelsea and Liverpool are showing.
