Lascelles

Absolutely understand the need to keep seasoned pros around the squad but when we're talking about a 23-25 man squad we need all the spots open to players who are actually gonna play.

Agree with that but it?ll take time to fill all the places with better players than him and Lascelles has been given just one more year.

Surely at this point with BDB being an absolute leader & a Geordie to boot, plus Schar a consummate professional and favourite of every mum on Tyneside signing a new contract we've got leaders with bags of experience?

I get it he's a great lad, he's a captain who has been with us through thick and a hell of a lot of thin but sentimentality needs to be set aside to progress to the top top levels.

We'll see. I don't mind if he does hang around, great bloke but I would applaud him out the door should he look for a few project at his time of life.

I think this is Eddie's blind spot-his attachment to certain players.

Agreed.

If you're in, you're in.
