Two players away from a squad that can challenge for the title. RW and RCB. Maybe only the RCB, if Kuol and Minteh can realise their potential (particularly the latter). Someone like Antonio Silva.
Think they're 3 of 4 away personally... it's one game remember , but the next 3 will give us very good indication of where Newcastle are.
Not seen much of Hall tbh, but I had a look at the comments on Sky, all the Chelsea fans are livid. Seems like we’ve got a good deal?
Kid looked immense on his first EPL start vs us last season and is probably only behind Chilwell and Cucarella there due to experience (not ability) and how much they spent on the pair of them, apparently his family are NUFC fans and Chelsea need to sell due to FFP (homegrown talent for them = 100% profit for FFP). Covers the entire Left side and CM and offers something completely different to Burn and Target at LB attacking wise.
Yeah I've seem him once or twice but Chelsea fans being upset is great news and a good sign. Newcastles scouts I don't doubt .. I remember arguing that Nixon and even Carr were not bad it's just they never got anyone off the top of their lists. Fair play to Nixon and all involved.
Not sure it's been mentioned here yet Kevin Zefi (18) being linked as well, another Irish lad, from Inter Milan - youth career out there so far is 31 app's 33 goal contributions across their youth teams... His highlights look exciting - very raw but super tricky winger/cam type.
It's actually interesting that Newcastle are buying Hall not loaning him , so perhaps there a loan or 2 to come ?
Yeah I saw some Irish twitter ITK suggesting there is another young Irish lad coming in when Heffernan was announced and this seems to be the name that's cropping up, only a year left on his contract at Inter... defo one to keep an eye on.
