madras Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Got to remember he's 2 yrs behind Tino (I know Tino had a long injury). That year at Southampton was massive in Tino's development and that will come to Hall. He has to be patient as we do as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menace Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 He looks raw but somehow I trust our scouting departments eye for a player. They very rarely have got it wrong since the takeover. £28m will seem a snip in a few years if he can make that LB position his own - also qualifies as HG too.

Lascelles has done really well but it is what it is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFEE Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 Was surprised to see him subbed. Freshest legs out of all our players and can’t play our next home game seemed to point to him getting 90mins yesterday. Thought he passed and moved well in those few decent triangles we played near the touch line. Was probably up against their most dangerous player which might of swayed EH mind with the game still at 0-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the closest he's come to public criticism, to be honest. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been pressed in to use early and Eddie to just wants to let him develop. Also remember it's Eddie responding to questions he's asked. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more just the platitudes that Howe hasn't been saying that he generally has about other players, including kids, in similar situations. So pleased to hear him getting some phatic treatment.

Minhosa Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 (edited) Hypothetically, and I'm not trying to mischief make here, but imagine you're Eddie Howe and it's the last game of the season. Hall is currently a loan with an obligation after x appearances, let's say he's one game away from that deal being activated, and the game is dead rubber. Bearing in mind, he's a £30m fee for next summer and you've only got a budget of say £70m for next season. Do you play him and tie up the budget or leave him out to free up the funds for next summer? He returns to Chelsea. I'm interested in what people would choose. FWIW - I'd play him and commit to the spend based more on how successful our recruitment team have been with pretty much everybody else perhaps rather than having been blown away by the initial impact of Hall. Also considering he's still very young and english. Edited December 4, 2023 by Minhosa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's others in the squad who are more likely to be moved on to make room in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 There was nothing about it being a conditional obligation, I assume it's just automatically made permanent in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

r0cafella Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 Trigger it 100%. we need a left back, and he’s had a year working with the squad. He will only get better and we have the perfect set up now for young players to succeed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 4 hours ago, Minhosa said: Just hypothetical to see what folks would do. Fair enough. I think your answer pretty much sums it up. Our recruitment has been consistently outstanding for a long time now. You could even say longer than merely since the takeover considering the performances we're getting out of players that were clearly being misused beforehand. He hasn't pulled up any trees yet, but he seems to be settling in socially and he's very young. I don't think he's looked bad, incidentally, just a bit overwhelmed - which Anthony Gordon said about himself about last season and look at him now. There's every likelihood it would be a big regret in two or three years, as Trippier sails off into the sunset, if we didn't 'buy' him now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 In your hypothetical scenario we're going to get a lot more info on which to base any decision in the next couple of months. From what I've seen he looks the business and I'd have no qualms to see Howe use him more than he has, but Eddie knows best. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted December 4, 2023 Share Posted December 4, 2023 I might be crazy but I feel like he came into the squad with more anticipation than Tino, so I'd 1000 percent trigger it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
