Same thing with Lamptey when he had those explosive first months at Brighton and there were small portions of our fanbase questioning if we made a mistake selling him because he may be better than Reece. And then that feeling faded completely and we don’t really think much about either of those players anymore. It’ll likely be the same thing with Lewis Hall. He’ll be a very solid player at Newcastle but we are stacked in both of the positions he plays in. We knew with all this spending that some tough decisions were looming. Expect a couple more before September 1. I disagree tbh, those two I was never really that bothered about because as you said we have Reece and I wasn't/am not convinced by either from a defensive standpoint. Hall however is a huge asset, we're coming into an era of fullbacks going going midfield being the tactical trend and he's tailor made for that role. The blow is softened a bit by the news he was pushing but still, I think we've lost a big player here. Strike 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mhsc 1,109 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Jeremy Doku is an interesting option, he did have a massive/random selection of injury problems ala Reece James though Quote Doubts have been raised about Doku's ability to stay fit, after an injury plagued season in 2021–22, where he suffered several muscular and knee injuries. The problems caused mental struggles for the teenager, as he kept coming back from injuries, getting some playing time, and then getting injured again.[53] However, Doku stated at the end of the 2022-23 season that after playing in several matches in a row over the final stretch, his mind now feels free from injuries, and when he is on the pitch he is “playing as if he is outside with friends”.[54] cfccrost 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hall will probably end up a good player in a few years time but I don't think he'll be missed that much, feel we have enough young talent now to build a solid lineup for the next 3+ years. 35 million is decent business and helps balance the books.

Don't see why we would need him for 60 million. Would prefer the club to get a proper goalscorer to lessen the load on Jackson and co till Nkunku is fit to play again. mkh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to tie him down to a long new deal and use him as Chilly’s rotation option. As interesting as he looked in preseason as a winger/midfielder he has to be used in his proper position and we’re set at LB/LWB for 10 years.

Mhsc 1,109 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I would say there is a decent chance Hall makes it as a premier league player, a low/medium chance that he makes it as a player for a top 10 side and an extremely small chance he makes it as a player at the level of the Chelsea that we want to be: title contenders/winners every year. And, the lad wanted to go. Anyone saying the club has done wrong here... I just can't agree. The ONLY argument might be that we should have given him a PL loan without an obligation and sell him next year or the year after, which the club was obviously considering. But the lad wanted to go, and now we have absolutely no risk and guaranteed cash on the table with a sell on clause.

TheHulk 2,507 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Think we want to build a reputation of letting players that want to go without much fuss because otherwise they won't want to join and we'd be like Brighton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 2,745 Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 Barcola looks about 3 times as good as Doku. Don't rate Doku just off the eye test. Barcola I feel has something special about him. bluesman2610 and mkh 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
