Excellent news, how tall is he?1

Pleased with that, was an area we badly needed an extra option in given Inniss's injury history.14

Welcome Sam!0

Sad reality is Innis can't really be first choice. Can't say I've heard of Lavelle but having read the replies to the above I'm excited by him. Welcome Sam.12 -

Seems a decent signing. Good back up for Innis and very much a ‘grow with the club/best of the league’ type player. Three year deal too. Wonder if he was the plan B to Kerr?0

Don’t know a lot about him but like the strategy we seen to have in spending on players who can grow with us without over paying.Glad as I don’t think you can count on innis.13

Sam was Wise to leave Morecambe.41

I’m sure I can be proved wrong with examples, but when you sign the captain of another club it suggests they’ve got something about them.13

They look like two different people in those photos. Are we sure we’ve signed the right bloke?9

I can't profess to know much about him but comments from Morecambe fans seem positive, he's a big unit too and presumably won't break down on the regular like Inniss.
3 year deal doesn't suggest he's just in as cover either, looks like he's intended to play a part to me.1 -
Don't know anything about him but for some reason I think he's going to be as good as Morrison was for us0

Funny looking at how similar Kerr and Lavelle appear.. Both Scottish, 24 y/o club captains who've represented their clubs over 100 times.

Sam Lavelle - wiki -
On May 31st 2021 Lavelle captained Morecambe in their League Two play-off final victory, in doing so securing promotion to League One for the Shrimps for the first time in the club's history. This resulted in many supporters regarding him as one of the clubs' all time greats.
Then he forces a deadline day move to big boys school with Charlton Athletic. The snake.

Morcombe fan:
"For me our club have undervalued Sam.
If £200K+ is the agreed fee then Charlton have got a bargain when looking at what other clubs are paying for a central defender. "

Never heard of him but signing Morecambe's captain who led them to promotion from League Two looks like the Matt Taylor signing of the 11/12 promotion team. Very pleased with this and means we don't need to rely on Innis who along with Lavelle, Famewo and Pearce means we shouldn't have to worry about CB position any time soon.

Welcome Sam. Always like signing captains.14

Really like the look of this, young but experienced and on a long term contract. Captained a promotion winning team.
6 ft 3 so we don’t lose that height when he plays instead of Inniss and takes the pressure off Elewere.
Great to have 5 first team CBs after what happened last season. So important we have a strong spine and this should really help that.
It also means Pearce shouldn’t play too often - looks like that random Facebook rumour that he’d be 5th choice was right.
My guess has been for a while that we went for some ambitious targets early on and missed out. He probably wasn’t one of our top targets but doesn’t mean he can’t be a big success.5 -

Pleased with this one, CB is a position where you need plenty of decent options, as CBs get whacked and will pick up the odd red card. Plus, there's the option of 3 at the back as well.
I've been getting frustrated with the way we're having to wrap Inniss in cotton wool this season, you don't want to keep having to use up one of your 3 subs on a CB swap.5 -
Shows a bit of savvy/gamesmanship in the market by Gallen & Co as well IMO. Wigan gazump us for one option by throwing money at it so we sign another of comparable quality but for a third of the cost.

Not heard of him but he started 44 out of 46 league games last year for them and he's tallish so I'll take it. Hope he does well.0

Seems like a good honest player. Hope he does well for us, but might have to wait for his opportunity.0
