Just how good is Lawlor anyway? Despite lavish praise from Bellamy and a couple of spectacular solo "headline" goals for City, in all honesty he's just a good prospect who's had a stellar initial first team season as a youngster. In reality, he's an appreciating asset who has a distinct financial value to the club.

Lawlor has a few mistakes in him as we've seen. It'll take plenty of game time to knock off those rough edges. Game time he'll get with us.
It's why I said to give him another season. He'll be more rounded a player. Or, his progress could stall.
And, heaven forbid for his sake, he's only an injury away from us getting nothing.

Whatever we do, we mustn't waste it either way, player or cash.

You're right about the Swans as well. They've steadily churned out £5-10M players from their accademy. We've produced nothing of that calibre since Ramsey.

Go on then - what's your opinion about his future - or more importantly, as it reflects on the future of CCFC?

He’s clearly talented and has potential if he stays fit to be a mainstay of a higher placed team or possibly abroad and the national team for a long time. Whether yet he’s got what it takes to be a PL player is debatable as he’s still developing his career; he’s certainly the best defender who has come through the ranks for a long time.

He could do with a Sean Morrison type next to him. His ability to dribble and pass the ball forwards is such an asset. I can recall a couple of beautiful assists from his long passing last season.

If BBM is to fashion a team capable of challenging for the top 8 next season he should be looking to Lawlor amongst others to be an integral part.

Who was that lump of a defender who had one good season for them and they got Fulham to spend £15m for him and was then hardly ever heard of again?
