Theregulars Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 30 minutes ago, ponsaelius said: The other thing to consider with Hall btw is whether the player even considers himself a left back. He has by all accounts always been a midfielder, who got into the first team at left back. Point may have already been made but that could be why we’re keen - spell trippier with Livramento and put hall on the other side to replicate what trippier does from the left (ie wide midfielder when in possession). I can see it as a loan with obligation to buy or outright buy only, no real value to Chelsea in anything less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The College Dropout Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 If the 3 I like Miranda’s profile the most. Least hot on Hall. Just because at 18 he can’t be our #1 left back. Too much to expect of the lad imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rumour seems to be that this has stalled. Need journalists to do their job and confirm as it’s quite a significant detail to wether our interest is genuine. Hall having same agents as EH might be doing us a favour either way. Withholding the signature or just smokescreen for someone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Hall would strike me as a signing of opportunity ala Tino, rather than with the expectation of him sliding into the starting XI on day 1. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingxlnc Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 I do like Tierney the most - Arsenal fans who are notoriously critical seem to rate him very highly and disagree with Arteta for freezing him out He would fit in well, right age, leadership, versatile etc. CL experience too I believe.

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 A young player who can play well in multiple positions sounds right up Howe's street. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Four players on our wanted list, problem is none of the deals look that likely. Tierney was probably the most doable, but with the injury to Timber looks like Arsenal will likely pull the plug on that as well unless they really do think he's a permacrock.

RobsonsWonderland Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Rule of thumb is nobody knows nowt... And when we do buy someone it's a surprise. So I'm not getting wrapped up on targets to replace targett just yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rafalove Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Personally I would prefer Hall. Even if he needs a bit of time before he’s fully ready. someone as good as him can be a core member of our team for the next decade. Eddie can develop him as he sees fit plus the fact he is a Newcastle fan is a big bonus imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was straight ‘close to signing Tonali’ - deal agreed in principle with all parties. It took awhile to confirm but the rumours started at 80% completion of the transfer. You can tell both sides didn’t want it to come out until it was all but certain to happen. Barnes and Livra there were numerous bids. Weeks between them. Sounds like we heard about it about 50% through completion. I think we were linked to both before we heard about any bids so actually a much lower %.

Lots of people seem super hot on him and I’m struggling to understand why. I was a bit Livra fan. And a big Joao Pedro fan. But I’ve seen them ball out.

TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Hall would still be a bit of a risk, just a young lad who’s fairly untested at this level. With the greatest of respect to Burn and Targett, it’s also not like he has a world-class mentor to learn from like Livramento with Trippier either. I don’t think Cucurella will be convinced to leave Chelsea this window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
