Frank confirms that Huddersfield have made an enquiry about our Tom Lawrence.....
He’s said that he won’t be leaving but you never know!
Should we cash in or keep? And what price should we be asking?

£10m and a bonus if he keeps them up (which he wont)Quote:

If he was played more centrally for us I still think we’ve got a good player.Quote:

I have heard that Lawro turned the move down.
A diver and no one will pay anything like. Get real
Get real? A couple of online sites, not very trustworthy ones, admittedly, talk about a £10M bid that Lawrence apparently turned down. They repeated the "rumour" on here. It's not like any of us have said great move or he's worth every penny etc etc etc.Quote:

I watched TL at Rotherham in 2014 many times. He showed promise. Nowadays, he's too cool for school, improved beyond the Millers days for sure but seems likely to display more agro on the pitch than ability. He's the first to have a go at the ref and the first to dive. If he concentrated on improving his game and tried tracking back to support his team once in a blue moon he would command more respect. Has a decent shot on him but wherever the anger and frustration came from it needs taking out of his game. Or imo he will end up as an also ran. £10 million is rich. He never turned out to be the goal scorer everyone thought he might be and his best spell at Ipswich has had no follow through. Daft money about I know and £10 million to a PL club is nothing. Value for money, no chance.
Just my take on a once good prospect who seems to believe his own hype.
That, Pacaman, is a very good post. I don't disagree with you. He does seem to have a short fuse and it doesn't take much for him to either harangue the ref or plan revenge on an opponent. Revenge or just a tackle? I ask that as he seems incapable of tackling without it being a foul. Diving? Yes he does and I don't like that part of his game. However, he is a tricky lad and quick with it. Many defenders can't handle it so they slow him down by clogging him. He seems to get little or no protection from refs which might be the reason behind his apparent inability to remain upright. Like you I wish he would lose the attitude and stay upright more often.Quote:
