He is essential if we want any chance of staying up. Lose him, we lose our match winner who may well win us 4-5 remaining games himself this season. Take that away, we lose 1-2,000 off the home gates as well - that more than covers his wages. He won't be short of offers once his contract expires and he will have the luxury of being able to demand more and choose where he wants to go. Really good point about home gates £ if the great escape is off rammieib 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the only one who can make something out of nothing and without him we'd hardly have scored anything this season. Our joint second highest scorer is still Curtis Davies!

Probably one of the highest wages at the club, and with the goals he scores, our most saleable asset, even if his contract is out at the end of the season. Rooney's most recent comment is that he has no control over who goes. He'd like to keep everyone, but its in the hands of the admins. If there's an offer that goes some/all of the way to having the money to complete the season, plus a chunky amount off the wage bill, they'll accept. Think it'll be tricky. Most deals these days are a wedge upfront, then all the extras. Can't see the admins accepting anything other than cash NOW, no extras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selling Lawrence will dramatically reduce our chances of staying up but is the player that will bring in the most money. We know there will be offers but that doesn't mean we have to sell. The administrators have said that their intention is to maintain the integrity and quality of the squad. On Friday Rooney said 'the administrators have assured me that no one will leave without my say so.' It is also worth noting that the administrators said that selling players wasn't viable in raising the sufficient funds. I expect them to obtain these funds another way.

He literally said on Saturday that he had assurances from the admins that no one else would leave without his say so. I'm not aware Rooney spoke since Saturday?

GangwayD Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 (edited) According to various sites Bournemouth about to complete on Kiefer Moore from Cardiff. Cardiff value him at 10 Million. Surely they won't want Lawrence as well, and if that's Cardiff's valuation then even with a few months left on his contract, what do we value Tom at.

DCFC1388 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I know Lawrence only has a few months left on his deal but surely any potential owner as well as Rooney need to weigh up his value in terms of how much he can potentially earn us by helping us stay up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldben Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Luke Plange, Colin Kazim-Richards, and Jack Stretton have enough to fight out the relegation battle, but Lawrence's departure would end any distant survival hopes. Despite the potential immortality of avoiding relegation this season, the club's long term future must be prioritised. Given that the club is still in administration, allowing Lawrence to leave this month might be the best option. Derby are in the driving seat here and will be confident of striking a beneficial deal for both the club and Lawrence in the remaining six days of the window.

Yani P Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 Lawrence is our best player by a country mile - I really hope we keep him, if he stays we will stay up, will he sign a new contract once the new owners are in place? who knows.. But surely we are such a better bet in the Championship - I firmly believe he will want to stay, will he be allowed to have the choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampant Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 It would be a decent touch - and a thank you to the club for sticking by him - if he agrees to stay and, when possible, sign a 12 month extension to increase the fee we get in the summer or next January.
