    Lejeune

    I rate Lascelles highly, but looking back at last season, I wonder if it actually was Lejeune who was the key man; the glue of our defence. And Lascelles more the personified spirit of the team.

    Lejeune turned out to be a class signing and to be honest; neither Clark og Schär look like they have the level at the moment. Fernandez looks decent, but not as good Lejeune did.

    I hope when he returns he'll have a good, long run without injuries as I have a feeling he could be a crucial factor to our team.

    Fully agree mate he was an excellent signing and a big loss to us in the centre of defence

    Definitely our main man in the back four, thought that from the off.

    Good player...but like the look of Fernandez.

    should form a decent partnership with Lascelles...as long as Lascelles' head is in the right place.

    Well Lejeune was bought in to be the defender that plays out from the back.

    We've been missing that to be honest.

    I look forward to him being back, the fact he's been included in the 25 man squad till Jan makes me hope he might be back sooner than we expect.
