Apparently we didn't send anyone to talk with him or monitor him for months, so you may get him for less. However, we do have four wingers (Mahrez, Gray, Musa, Kapustka) linked with moves away so I'm not sure we're too keen to sell. You'll be getting new wingers anyway.

With the signings you've made so far, you're obviously focusing on bringing more quality into your side. If Mahrez and/or Gray go then you'll get very decent money for them and no doubt sign some big money replacements. I think Lawrence is either going to be in Shakespeare's plans or he isn't, I doubt it'll depend on departures. From what you've said, it suggests it's more likely that he's not in your plans, but we'll see. I'd be very happy if we got him for the £3-4million mark. Anything near the £10mil mentioned by a couple of posters and it changes my entire opinion on the transfer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1388 Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Really cannot see it being that much with him only having 1 year left on his deal. Doubt it would be any more than 5m inc add ons, around 3m up front maybe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He can play on either wing and up front. Pearson always liked to have 5-6 strikers to choose from and I imagine Shakespeare could be the same. As far as the price tag goes, I think he's worth (and I'm probably biased) between £7.5 - 10 million in the current market. He's 23, he scored and created plenty of goals in a poor Ipwich side last season and he's a Wales international. I'd imagine selling Ince and Hughes means you have some cash to spare.

AmberRamber Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I'm off to work but I'd just like to say thank you to foxes fan for popping and saying hello. Also thank you for conducting yourself in a pleasant manner. All silly football rivalries aside I hope you have a great season and year you won the title was incredible and gives a tiny bit of hope to others that something completely unexpected and fantastic can happen to anyone at anytime. Personally I love it when Leicester forest and our beloved Rams are all in the same league as the match day atmosphere can be electric. When it happens again which I pray is soon, for 90mins I'll despise the Foxes but after the final whistle I'll make sure I look to see how you've gone on in your next match.

You're absolutely right it would be insane, but there's a fair bit of that going around lately. Thinking about it again, £7.5 - 10 isn't so much how much I think he's worth as it is how much we would have to receive for me not to be disappointed with the club for selling him.

Leicester Ram Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Exact sort of signing I like. Young and talented with room to improve and grow with Derby. I think he'll really fit the system too. A fluid 3 of him, Vydra and Russell (for now) behind Martin/Nuge would be really exciting. He seems to also have the something from nothing ability of Ince too, so I can't think of a more suitable replacement in our price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the best Thanks for the kind words, The FA Cup tie was a reminder of what we've been missing out on these past three seasons. Great atmosphere and some good matches home and away. I've kept an eye on your progress since we were promoted but especially since Nugent signed. I must admit that I celebrated his goal against Forest in the 2-2 as if he had scored it in a blue shirt. I'll definitely be posting on here occasionally next season, especially if Lawrence does end up signing for you. I hope next season is a good one for you!

Kernow Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Has there actually been a price quoted by any credible source or are all prices mentioned currently guesses? I really can't see it taking as much as £10mil for a player who is fringe at best at his club. Half that and include add-ons, or a first refusal agreement at a certain price with Leicester and it's much more realistic. It's a bit of a gamble but if we could pick him up for circa £5m and he has a couple more seasons like last season, he'll be worth £12m at least in today's market.

Scott_dcfc Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Does anyone know if these rumours of a 10mil price tag are real? Seems a little steep to me. Hopefully he's worth every penny no matter what... But 10mil? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuwtfly Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 Looks like this suggestion of £10m originates from a article from the Burton Mail written towards the end of last month. Not sure where they would have gotten such a figure from, but that's where it started. "Leicester City midfielder Tom Lawrence is also on Newcastle's radar, with the Foxes believed to want at least £10 million for a player who impressed on loan at Ipswich Town last season." http://www.burtonmail.co.uk/championship-news-newcastle-united-in-for-norwich-city-winger-liverpool-man-to-birmingham-city/story-30409532-detail/story.html#tpZsuQHEG3oyZ3Rg.99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEL Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I think that £10m may have come from this Site HITC. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/amp.hitc.com/en-gb/2017/06/26/report-newcastle-united-must-pay-10-million-for-leicester-city-m/ Leicester forum some mentioned £10m. https://www.foxestalk.co.uk/topic/112300-tom-lawrence-is-one-of-newcastles-top-transfer-targets/?page=4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnigmaRam Posted July 9, 2017 Share Posted July 9, 2017 I've seen between £1 mil and £10 mil. My guess is it's somewhere in between #itk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
