Lewis Hall

[Beef stew]

I'm reading we've agreed a fee of 28 million with add ons.
A great young player who did well against us last season and he's a toon supporter which is a huge bonus.
Hoping this happens, fingers crossed

[sherwoodmag]

Latest from SSN is that they are in advanced talks with Chelsea.

[Sclox]

Big money for a young player but in Eddie we trust. Looks like all parties are keen. Possibly a loan with view to buy?

[toptoon]

In answer to my previous thread asking if you ‘d prefer Cucurella or Tierney?:

Hall !!!

[Zippity]

. Possibly a loan with view to buy?

That's what is possibly holding things up. Because of all their spending (had anyone noticed, no...?), they need to sell rather than loan but, for the same FFP reason, we need to loan not buy.

Conundrum.

Good point.
At 18 years old we could ‘do a Chelsea’ and offer him a longer contract to split the payment over mote years.
It all depends how much Eddie rates him. I think we should mebees push the boat out on this one (if his character is good) because of the position he’d fill/back up.

I suspect he could go straight into the team, once he’s been “ eddied”

He’s a Toon fan despite being born in Slough, going to a private school in Ascot and playing for Chelsea since he was 7 or 8. Apparently the Newcastle link is through his dad who was brought up in the North East.

From the bits and pieces I’ve seen of him he looks an extremely talented player with huge potential. Great first touch, killer crossing ability and has the pace and power to excel in our high energy style of play. This would be a coup and another statement signing, for me.

The rules have changed so you can only spread it out over 5 years, no matter the length of the contract

[tinostongue]

If only we could get rid hendrick, and fraser free up some cash. Feel a bit for Hayden that nobody that we know of has come in for him.would do a good job in the Championship.

Surely something could be done here. Sell at a small fee and use the money to pay up their deals.

Until the EPL introduce the same, that’s not true in England.

There was a rumor Celtic were having a look at Fraser?

[Jammy89]

Looks like it'll be a loan with obligation to buy.

Quite clever - they can report on their line full cost. We can report on our line just the £3 million loan fee.

Works for both parties.

Works for both parties. Deal agreed £28 million to be paid next summer plus add ons

[toonozandy]

I have also heard it's a done deal. Go suck on that one KLOPP, you filthy kunt

[toptoon]

Confirmed loan and to buy next Summer for 28 million plus 7 million add ons. Chelsea have a % of any sell on.

Get in!!!

[Zippity]

Mint.

Building for the future.

Mind, it's a crazy thing, when you think about it, that we're casually discussing paying £28 million for an 18 yr old! ;)

Isn't that more or less what the mackems are worh? O:)

[Zippity]

Very good analysis of him here. Plus, under Howe, he's only going to get better.

It's a good sign that Chelsea fans are NOT happy they've sold him.

[GBruno]

Great signing this.

Hall and his family are lifelong Newcastle fans, despite playing for Chelsea side age 7!

[Jammy89]

Great to see.

With him and Tino on either flank, we could have Englands full backs as our full backs for next 10 years.

[Zippity]

I follow this fella on Twitter, too, and his analysis is always excellent, too. Some really good stuff about his versatility as well.
