A lot of championship sides would take him, the crux of the issue is they wouldn't take him for the transfer free which we paid for him nor likely the wages he is on. So basically he’s a fake believe doesn’t live up to the hype and can’t cut it! Which is in a round about way what I said, who would take a punt! No one.

If the metric you are using is his transfer fee then yes I already said I agree that he has proven to be poor value for money but he's not alone in that respect. I don't think the word punt is a good descriptor if you're suggesting someone shells out the 4 million quid or whatever we paid for him, am not sure what championship clubs have that amount of money to gamble.

Although he did say that Tom Lawrence is a lovely bloke, brings an apple into training every day for Philip and he is able to put a rowntrees fruit pastel in his mouth without chewing it. I always thought Lawrence was a sucker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why on earth should someone of his so called age and ability be a gamble, if that’s the case he’s a spent force. If in deed he was ever a force to be reckoned with.

I’m baffled as to why people think he shouldn’t have kept his place? However he blew it with a poor performance in his best position. I’m a Lawrence fan but I’ve about exhausted all patience with him. He will continue to be inconsistent and we can do better - but we’ll struggle to sell him I think. Another one I’m done with is Marriott. Never fit, always little niggles, which indicates to me someone who isn’t as fit as they should be and is not taking their job as serious as they should be! I don't necessarily have any comment to make on this... But I had this nagging need to check who had given you the 'sad face'..... Ohhh, made me laugh...

Not getting game time at Watford Id take him, but isnt he one of Watfords highest paid players? If he fancied a 90% pay cut it would be great to have him here.

Raich Carter Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 In terms of another club taking a chance in Lawrence - I think we all agree that he has plenty of ability but doesn’t seem able to apply it on a regular basis. Certain managers would back themselves to sort that out so I do think he has some value but definitely not £7m or whatever. I wouldn’t be surprised if he goes but part of my does worry that he’ll mature into something special in a few years. Mind, I thought that about Nyatanga and a few others and was wrong then so who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Clough Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Cocu talked about us signing a CB and a 'forward player'. To me this means we'll recruit the best we can in the RW or CF position. Whichever we sign, Waghorn and/Whittaker will be utilised more in the other. Sign Sharp (or similar) and Waghorn plays RW. Sign Kadioglu (or similar) and Waghorn plays CF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure. But I find it hard to imagine a 26 year old is going to develop from an average Championship player to "something special" in the grand scheme of football.

FOMO I guess is what I mean but you're right, if he was going to be stellar, he'd be stellar by now - keep forgetting his age! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuwtfly Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I've got a feeling that the wide midfielder/attacking player that we are after is someone that nobody has mentioned yet. Another Scott Malone-type signing. One that comes out of nowhere with no press buzz around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
