We’ve not learned our lesson from the Reid, Ayew and Antonio fiascos. We signed Coady for muh leadership and look what that did. Sign players for tangible reasons please LCFC, it’s not much to ask for 4

LichesterRedSoxSoccerBall Posted 2 February Posted 2 February All day long if he stays fit. Captain material and will be solid in this league. 1

Wasyls Pec Deck Posted 2 February Posted 2 February We are so deficient of leadership that I think it’s worth a roll of the dice.
fkas Posted 2 February Posted 2 February A punt of a signing because he's had injury issues. If he hadn't had those issues then Newcastle wouldn't move him on. If we get him back fit we've got a commanding centre back who'll be invaluable to our back line. Risk worth taking as long as the salary is reasonable.

brookfox Posted 2 February Posted 2 February Is this a loan or a permanent deal? I know he's out of contract in the summer but talk of agreeing personal terms makes it feel more permanent. And if it is hopefully no more than an 18m contract and heavily weighted to appearances.
Popular Post BDW-11 Posted 2 February Popular Post Posted 2 February (edited) Think some fans need to have a look at where we are, how bad the board have ran this club and acknowledge that this would be a good signing considering our predicament. Board are getting zero praise from me, I am firmly KP out but this is the kind of character we need around the current squad. Ricardo is one of my favourite ever players to play for our club but he isn't someone who will run a dressing room like Lascelles - I think he is worth the punt. Don't like how late it always is - obviously had to wait for the Soumare departure before we could get anyone in which shows the shambles upstairs yet again. But worth a gamble despite his injury record, just hopefully on a fair wage.... but I wont hold my breath. Edited 2 February by Newbold Blue 8

But worth a gamble despite his injury record, just hopefully on a fair wage.... but I wont hold my breath. We have no idea if it's a good signing because it won't be defined as a good signing purely based off how good a defender Jamaal Lascelles is. If he's signing on an 18 month contract, at most, and on a modest wage and if he stays fit enough to be available for 70% of our competitive matches in that period then it's a great bit of business. If he's signing on a 3 year contract with a Premier League wage and doesn't have the legs or the health in general to be available when we need him then it's a ****ing terrible signing. 1

Torten Posted 2 February Posted 2 February When has signing an aging ex-Forest CB in January ever worked for us? 2
LCFCCKEANO Posted 2 February Posted 2 February Him, Souttar and Nelson are a good first choice 3, Okoli as back up and Vestegaard can leave
Tommy G Posted 2 February Posted 2 February Crock - on the fence, we have enough injury prone CBs 2 1

We do need fresh blood with no connections that will speak the truth to the players. The managers and coaches seem to be milquetoast at best at motivating and correcting errors.

MPH Posted 2 February Posted 2 February 2 minutes ago, Finnegan said: It's not really possible I'm wrong tbh. We don't have any money. welllll… sort of we’ve saved a lot on wages with Soumare and Faes leaving…if there’s any club stupid enough to convert that to a transfer fee then it would be us.. NOTHING would surprise me with the current set up.. you might even be able to add Vardy, Ndidi to the wages saved too..
Finnegan Posted 2 February Posted 2 February Just now, MPH said: we’ve saved a lot on wages with Soumare and Faes leaving But our wagebill to revenue ratio is harrowing and needs to come down, that's not really money we can spend. 1

Tommy G Posted 2 February Posted 2 February 9 minutes ago, Finnegan said: It's not really possible I'm wrong tbh. We don't have any money. Correct but the current ownership don't have a clue on spending - they've got it wrong the past few seasons and are probably working outside the parameters again and it's tomorrows problem. I'm not sure anyone really knows tbh
