England's Lewis Hall

[hakka]

The amount of energy this forum wastes on Luke Edwards is still way too much.

[hakka]

Really impressed with the Hall signing. Potential future England player. The fewm from the Chelsea fans is also pretty sweet.

 

We've done very well at not only adding quality to first team and squad depth, we have got a great amount of longevity for some of these players given their age.

[LiquidAK]

Love that we've basically sorted out fullbacks for the next decade in one window

[Tiresias]

Will be funny if he stays and retires here

[HawK]

Real life now feels like one of my sketchy Newcastle FM saves where I only buy English players and after a few years it's basically Newcastle United in the World Cup

If he’s half as good as we believe we won’t be selling him anywhere. 
 

Dumb question but something like a sell on fee would only apply to the period covered by the contract he initially signs here?

 

I assume you can’t just sign a new deal immediately to invalidate a clause but when say the five years period of his initial deal is up that the sell on doesn’t apply anymore?

Different for every player/contract as far as I'm aware. Some sell on clauses can follow players through multiple clubs while others will only last a set period of time. We may never know what the details are.

Absolutely tremendous signing this. Looking forward to the England teams having a fair few Newcastle players in coming years too.

He's had another mare this Sumner has Edwards.

I wonder if he's fell out with the club, as not heard him asking any questions at the press conferences this season. I presume he hasn't been in attendance.

Fair enough I’m just thinking it would be difficult to enforce once the initial deal period is complete. 
 

Sort of just feels Chelsea are trying to make it slightly cheaper if they ever want to try and get him back.

Man if Chelsea don’t finish CL again this season.

He’s been in Oz for the women’s World Cup.

Zero chance they have a buyback. Sell on clause is understandable and I’d be shocked if it was more than 10%

[gbandit]

Agreed, zero chance of a buyback clause, no way Eddie agrees to that unless the clause is £100m+

They could have put a clause in and stated that it must remain valid regardless of any new contracts between the player and club. 

[r0cafella]

And if we have agreed to large sell on of course back fees this is poor business. I believe our owners are too smart to make such a bad deal though. The fee alone means we are the ones taking all the risk. 

[khay]

Aye no one sells a 18 year old without a sell on clause regardless of who you are selling and for how much. 

 

Buy back bit different but the player would want to have to return anyways. 

[Chris_R]

IF there's a buyback clause, which is a massive "if", the player still has to want to leave. They still have to agree terms with him.

[Tiresias]

When was the last buyback clause that actually got activated (at least a high profile one)? Seems pretty rare. Hopefully it's for an extortionate amount. Regardless I don't doubt should he get bought back one day we'll just sign someone else. I think everyone has this Ashley era anxiety about losing players as if it's the old days when a sale meant no players for a position for 2 seasons

I wouldn’t worry. A buyback has only been reporting by some random on twatter.

But if *checks notes* Top Skills Sport UK says there is one...

[The Prophet]

I know we barely change system and are unlikely to anytime soon, but he also give us the option of moving to a back three.
