Imagine irony playing for Chelsea 1st but "growing as Newcastle fan". Well, if that's his dream move at 18 yo, so long.

[Pizy 18,368]

If he’s pushing to go and the club get £35m in pure profit what can we do? Tell him that maybe, possibly, if this, this, and that all fall into place you might get a chance next season? 

Sounds like he had his head turned as a boyhood Newcastle fan and sees his path to regular first team football clearer there. Which is true. 

It’ll be super annoying selling to a rival and especially if he plays very well, but I won’t lose sleep. 

[ZAPHOD2319 4,477]

This sounds more like Hall is asking for this move. We have yet to tell a player no when it brings in pure profit.

 

[Gundalf 804]

No point in keeping players that have their heart set for another club. Sell and good luck.

We got Caicedo and Lavia for almost 200 million. And we have 3 left-backs

We have to make money

[Pizy 18,368]

Only thing that bothers me is WHO we’re selling him to. Hall himself I just don’t rate as much as some of our fans do. I’m seeing some big Chelsea accounts on Twitter going crazy as if we’re selling Salah or KdB again. He’s a promising lad but he doesn’t look a future world class player or anything.

Wish were selling him to a small PL who we could simply go back to and re-buy if he becomes amazing. Instead, at Newcastle nobody is every going to get him since they’re the richest club in the world now and will be competing near the top 4 for good.

Euh no!

Absolutely not

[Thor 2,392]

If we can get 35 million pounds with some add ons, you can't say no... Especially if the players mindset is I want to go to boyhood club.

[milka 3,346]

It's interesting that they don't talk the same way about City being investigated for over 100 charges, not United who also spend over 200 million every summer, not Arsenal who spend over 600 million in the last few years and their best achievement is 2nd place.

Potch must feel Maatsens ceiling is higher.

I feel the same. If I have to choose between one staying and one selling I keep Maat.

Personally wouldn’t surprise me if we sell Chilwell in a year or two, especially if he doesn’t stay injury free. I have the feeling we will regularly sell depreciating assets and replace them with up and coming players as part of the new strategy. 

the only LBs replacements remotely acceptable for Chilly atm, and only the first two would be a certain upgrade over a healthy Chilly (watch Udogie though, the lad is big, pacy, strong, we blew a chance at signing him on the cheap, now Spuds have him)

Alphonso Davies 
Nuno Mendes
Theo Hernández  (defence is suspect too often, not TAA bad, but not brilliant)
Alejandro Balde 
José Gayà    (turns 29 at the very end of thsi season, so this is the last time he is on my lists)
Federico Dimarco
Destiny Udogie 
Pervis Estupiñán     (lol, Brighton, smdh)
Rayan Aït-Nouri   
Caio Henrique
Joakim Maehle 
David Raum
Milos Kerkez   
Borna Sosa
Quilindschy Hartman 
Vanderlan   (20yo on Palmeiras)

Hall is definitely promising and I can see why it stings for a Cobham lad to leave. But just in recent seasons we’ve sold 2 other super highly rated fullbacks in Livramento and Lamptey. Have we really missed them? Nope. 

Will we actually miss Hall? IMO, I don’t think so. We’ve got Chilly, Maatsen,, Cucu for the time being and even Colwill who can play in the LB/LWB spot. And we’ve got 50 young midfielders. So tell me a scenario over the next few years where we say to ourselves “damn, if only we had Lewis Hall around still.”
