A lot has been said about this, ie do we sell Lascelles or not
Here's my take:
You have a set of golf clubs. They are very good, and are the envy of the other players at your club. They are worth £800.
Lots of the players have offered to buy them from you, but all offers are politely declined.
Then, one day, another player announces they are letting their set of golf clubs go for free. You cant quite believe it.
You have them and give them a trial. They are every bit as good as the ones you already have.
In fact, you think they could even be better.
So its a no brainer. You sell your clubs for £800 and have the other set for free. Your bank account is a lot healthier.
So ...... if it was upto me ...... it would be:
Bye-Bye Jamaal. Thanks for everything. I wish you well in your career.
But £8m is just too damn good to turn down for a player who has played less than 50 games and none in the top flight.
And welcome to Roger!
Lascelles / Riera

See now it makes sense!
Yes he's a talent and could become the next big thing, I don't want to see him leave but £8m for a team in the championship is a lot of money and should be too much to turn down. They could really strengthen across the field and ok perhaps not replace him like for like, but 2 youngsters in Laing and riera (possibly maguire?) is not bad business.

This is so much better than the way Davies tried to run things. It may take a little time but we could be unearthing a few gems here without splashing the cash.
Pearce is obviously using his contacts within the game and giving youth a chance at home. Adding the odd senior player who has been in the Championship and knows what it's all about and hopefully we will have a good mix. No big money prima donnas to upset the cart and all we need is for them to gel into a challenging team

Riera has only played youth football and needs to concentrate on bulking up and strength work.

Hopefully Lascelles isn't seriously injured and will start the season. One can never tell how a player is going to develop but at his age I would keep him. Not sell even at £8M and loan back for the coming season because at the end of it he could be worth a lot more. £11M for McCormac jeeze.
i would only consider sale loan back now if he is adamant he want's to leave and or we need to balance the books for FFP. The two Algrians have been very expensive mistakes.
SP is doing a good job so far, let's hope Fawaz trusts him and goes back to the Directors Box!
