David Pleat / Jamal Lascelles

I posted this after the January window had closed. Looks like Pleat was right.

'Don't know if anyone else picked up on this but on transfer deadline day David Pleat was contributing on radio 5live.
He suggested that Forest had agreed a deal with Newcastle to sell Lascelles in the summer and our window signings were funded by this. Obviously hope it's not true. Pleat being an ex employee, although in a previous regime is sure to still have contacts within the club so might be something in it.
You'd like to see us retain the likes of Darlow and Lascelles and build a team with them in it for years to come.
The signing of Gomis was an intriguing one. Can't see him being involved with the number of centre backs we have but is he being nurtured for next season which might mean Pleat has got a point about the Newcastle thing?
If we were to sell Lascelles I'd imagine a fee of at least £7m. The £3m that was talked about in January was ridiculous. If you look at the £5m we got for Dawson 10 years ago, I'd say Lascelles has similar potential so at least £7m for me. Although as previously stated ideally keep him'
