Tom Lawrence

[Lovejoy]

It's a shame we haven't seen more of him in competitive football, but I can't knock the lad for wanting to play. He'll be in the Prem one way or another before long I'm sure.

[Koke]

3 years at the club and he's been out on loan 4 times, and 3 different managers haven't fancied him. Plus he's got 12 months left on his contract.

 

£7m is good business by us.

[mozartfox]

Great more cash for the new CB.

[Stevosevic]

Good business.

Only because his contract is expiring.

We got £12m for Schlupp last year.

This year, with inflated prices, £7m is probably a little less than half the equivalent.

I very much doubt that Schlupp is twice the player Lawrence is...

[Jonezy]

Fair deal. Hopefully we got a buy-back or sell-on fee in there as well, if he should turn out to be more than a decent Championship winger. What did we buy him for? We must have made a decent little profit on him.

Schlupp had been a first team regular and has a PL medal. I don't believe he went for £12 million either.

Rumor has it that Rudkin is delighted to have managed to negotiate a buy-back clause of 600 million Pounds....

He was very much relegated to a backup role that season. Inler, Ulloa and Schwarzer also have PL medals, that doesn't necessarily mean much.

Lawrence had a storming season and was Ipswich's best player and is about the same age, so I don't believe they should be too far apart in market value.

 

And here is the quote from the Guardian regarding Schlupp's price:

" Leicester rejected a bid worth £9.5m bid from Palace this week but they accepted an improved offer on Thursday which will see them pay another £3m in bonuses."

£12 million with add ons Do CP have to get into the Champions League to pay the full fee?

If we'd been offered £7m last summer people would have laughed their balls off and driven him to the buying club. £7m is very gold business considering the same people whining about him going now are the ones who rubbished him previously and said he'd never make it.

Not sure, but we seemed to buy Man Utd youngsters at £1m a pop back in those days

No idea, just going by what's written there, that the offer 'will see them pay £3m in bonuses'.

Come on, Sclhupp had around 60 games experience in the premier league. Lawrence has 51 minutes.

 

For someone with one decent championship season, with one year left it's a decent fee.

[Guest FriendlyRam]

Chuffed by this tbh

 

Ince went for 10 so 7 for this lad is a good swap imo. 11 goals with multiple assists in that ipswich team last season was a great return, they were dire tbh. We need to give the lad the ball mind, we seem to lack creativity atm.

[Gerard]

I suspect we've got a few add on's here as we refused Derby's first £7m offer and they're as desperate to buy him as we are to sell him.

 

There won't be a buy back fee as many have suggested but performance related and a sell on fee possibly.

 

It's a good deal for both clubs IMO as we can't find room for him here and Derby are buying a 23 year old who excelled in the Championship last season.

True, but Schlupp hardly ever stood out and has considerable (proven) flaws. You can see Lawrence on an upward trend compared to Schlupp.

Maybe I'm being greedy, but I'm struggling to make sense of these transfer fees. I thought the comparison between those two wasn't unfair.

[foxoffderby]

Great business for Derby. Were gone regret this one.

[Finnegan]

6m profit and we let a young lad go and advance his career without holding him to ransom. Good. 

 

Best of luck to you Tom.

I don't think so.

 

Ben Marshall number two IMO.

[FoxinNotts]

Have you lot seen his goals for Ipswich last season?

 

Some of them were worldies. He was having his own goal of the season competition.

 

oh well, bye Tom. Sorry we couldn't give you a chance this season (god knows why!)

Schlupp at times was excellent, he only really lost his way under Ranieri as he was rarely being used. Of course he has flaws, but he causes teams a lot of problems.

 

Ince went for £10m and he's scored 10 goals + three seasons running. I think that's more comparable.

Did you ever see Ben Marshall play? Being capable of banging in shots from distance means nothing.

 

We're aiming to be a top 10 premier league team, we have far better players than Lawrence and he's not going to play much. So he wants to leave, end of story. We're getting a good fee and good luck to the lad.

 

Who exactly do you think should be dropped to give him more game time?

I would say that Schlupp was very inconsistent with regards to efficacy. But I suppose the comparison to Ince is fair.
