Shearergol Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 10 hours ago, The College Dropout said: Nope. I never said we overpaid for either. I’ve been a big Hall fan from day one and wanted him to play more last season. I questioned the logic of buying him last season if Howe wasn’t willing to play him despite an injury crisis after only a couple poor games (halves even). Turns out I was right - Hall is top tier and should’ve got more game time when Burn was getting ripped week after week at LB. Tonali - again not a slight on the player. But I questioned spending £50m+ on 1 player + all the other money we spent that window when we were going to need to raise 50m+ to become PSR compliant. I think now everyone admits that was the wrong approach which is why aren’t doing that this season and Amanda and co. left. We haven’t done a 40m+ deal since. If it wasn’t for Minteh having a breakout season we would’ve had to sell a purple on the cheap. We overspent they window for sure and had no good plan to get out of it. You wanted Hall to play in midfield though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted Hall in for Burn. 21 hours ago, Menace said: Pretty sure you did like In relation to FFP overspend which is true. Which is why we haven’t done similar again. A Range Rover is too much money on a £50k salary. That doesn’t mean the range isn’t worth the money but you shouldn’t spend it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it. Yeh this is in response to a League Cup game and trying different approaches. I also suggested Sandro at 6 there but I admit - I didn't think it would work... but I wanted to see it given a go. Eddie tried Sandro at 6 in the next league cup game and that was the start of our renaissance - so I guess there was value in my comment Likewise with Hall, he's such a brilliant player in low-stakes games i'd like to see him in midfield. Early League Cup or FA Cup games against lower league opposition are an opportunity to experiment. But I'm not suggesting we bring Targett at LB and Hall to CM and remove Joelinton going forward. Best to take my posts in good faith rather than trying to find silly holes. Look at the context. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've said similar re Hall moving further forward a bit in a low risk game, as much to satisfy my own curiosity as anything else. He seems to have the skill set and we have tried him in midfield a couple of times but before he settled up here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he got 15 minutes against Man U at 6 before Targett got injured in a league cup game. Or maybe it was the other way around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 As much as I enjoy watching him play now, I'm already looking forward to his Pirlo phase in ~10 years time when he doesn't have to run anymore because he just knows where the ball will end up, and where his teammates will make runs.

PauloGeordio Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) Tonali looked emotional when he sprinted over to the fans after making it 3-1 but said he got good vibrations from the 3,000 strong Toon Army right from the word go. Tonali said: "When we went out for the warm-up at Southampton, it was actually like being at St James' Park. This is important for us."
