Papahet Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Why haven't Leicester offered him a new deal if he's in their plans? 5-7 is a good price, on good season at Ipswich, 12 months remaining and hardly going to be starting for then over Mahrez, Musu, Albrighton. Let the lad go and play football Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The longer we go without filling these positions, the less likely our chances of promotion. I think the days are going where a player only having one year left reduces a price substantially. Its a different ball game today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S8TY Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Also if the price was 2-4 million that would probably entice a lot of other clubs to take a punt ...I personally think 5m is enough and a fair price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may well be correct but many on here have varied valuations of players for example our own Johnny Russell has a very similar record to Lawrence but Russell has had basically one poor season compared to Lawrence having one good season at this point so does that mean Russell is worth in today's market £5-7 million?

Russell hasn't really progressed though, he has been consistently average for us. I don't dislike him but I don't think he is good enough for a team looking for promotion. We still don't know 100% what Lawrence is capable of, so in my eyes he is worth the punt. Not currently a lot better than what we have, but could be. I don't know why us fans get so caught up in fees. It isn't our money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MACKWORTHRAM Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Leicester should be signing the lad from City very soon. Hopefully this may trigger some movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes - But unfortunately it seems the most likely movement is Mahrez to Roma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomsdubs Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Lawrence will never be a starter at Leicester though, they'll rather sign a top European talent. Depends what he want's, starts every week or late sub in games/backup in the Prem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we have been spoilt with having Ince on the other side. Possibly making Russell look worse than he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MACKWORTHRAM Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 If Lawrence was going to stay at Leicester he'd have signed a new deal by now. Even if Mahrez goes there's no way they'll get £40-£50 million for him and replace him with Tom Lawrence. They've got Albrighton, Gray and very soon Ighnacheo. Plus they'll sign a high value replacement for Mahrez. He's probably 4th choice at the moment and at the very best that's where he will start the season. Potentially 5th choice if they sign more. I'd be amazed if he doesn't leave Leicester. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
