TheUltimateWinner Posted 28 May 2017 Posted 28 May 2017 If he did you could guarantee he'd score a belter against us. I say keep him, the kids got talent, I'd say at least one of Mahrez/Gray will leave over summer, give him a chance to compete for his place.
Tuna Posted 28 May 2017 Posted 28 May 2017 Put it this way, suppose he is an actual contracted Ipswich Town player. He has had a good season and has been noticed for it, you'd be looking at 10 million to sign him in today's market. He deserves a chance within the first team setup here and I'm afraid if we cannot see that I wonder what's going on.
nnfox Posted 28 May 2017 Posted 28 May 2017 Interesting. When we bought him, he was clearly "one for the future". We sent him out on loan to gain experience and develop as a professional footballer. By all accounts he did very well. Personally I would like to see him get a chance with us, although I am not sure how much game time he'd get in the current squad. The other way of looking at it is from a business point of view. Small investment, large return.
foxy boxing Posted 28 May 2017 Posted 28 May 2017 I'd like to see him given a chance next season, see what he could potentially do for us.
Swarles Barkley Posted 28 May 2017 Posted 28 May 2017 Loan him out for one more year. This will see if he can hack it in the prem. If he can then great, start using him in the 18/19 season, if not then im sure there'll be plenty of teams, at least in the championship, that will want him

Webbo Posted 28 May 2017 Posted 28 May 2017 What's he got left on his contract? Is he likely to be a first choice player next season? Probably worth cashing in.

Webbo Posted 28 May 2017 Posted 28 May 2017 Just now, AmarteyAndChill said: It ends summer 2018 I think So a year then, If he doesn't get into the first team he'll probably leave for free, even if he does get in the first team he might leave. Makes sense to take the money.

Down right stupidity in my opinion, not to try a player who has shown and improved his potential, if he is on your Own doorstep....Players like this can suddenly take-off.He deserves his chance, for me from within, next to Gray One of the players in a GROUP who is in 1st pecking order... Unless club and coaches see otherwise, for other reasons....

If he doesn't leave, one of those will. He's been here a while and had his chance, lets cash in.

norwichfox Posted 28 May 2017 Posted 28 May 2017 Maybe worth a bit of a punt on keeping him, he's looked pretty good for the time he's had at the wrong end of the Championship and his efforts probably kept Ipswich out of the relegation zone last season, we don't have a great deal to lose by hanging on to him for a while. Maybe he dosn't want to stay, I can recall him questioning why no-one from th eCity had been in touch with him during his loan period (not sure that we're obliged to, but it would have made the lad feel better).

We've got all these wingers but not one of them has adequately proved they're capable of regular first team football at the kind of level we aspire to. Gray has the best chance and has shown the most promise but is hit and miss and hasn't had a consistent season. Kapustka hasn't had a chance and Barnes has been brilliant in League One. I think Lawrence deserves a chance to prove he's capable of getting into our matchday squad, considering he's had a great season in the Championship. If it becomes apparent that he's nowhere near good enough we could look to offload him towards the end of the summer window or even in January when a desparate relegation-threatened club will pay for someone who would otherwise leave for free the following summer. Apart from an extra few million quid, I don't think we have much to lose by giving Lawrence a chance to impress this preseason.

I'm glad a few million quid is chicken feed to you but I think the owners would disagree.

Fox92 Posted 28 May 2017 Posted 28 May 2017 Been impressed with him at Ipswich - in a poor Ipswich side btw - but can't see him getting a game here. I'd like to see him behind Vardy in pre season, definitely.
Tuna Posted 28 May 2017 Posted 28 May 2017 Keep him and give him a chance in the first team squad! Why are people saying Sell!

I just think it could be worth taking the risk. Why sell this summer for £10m when he could become a regular in the first-team squad and provide a positive contribution towards winning the League Cup, the FA Cup or finishing in a Europa League spot. If he can't get in the side, you might get £7-8m in Jan if he's worth £10m now (say if Newcastle, Brighton, or Palace are in trouble, perhaps). I know there are a lot of ifs and buts but I just think it's worth giving him a shot, really.
