    We don’t know what the games he’s need to play to trigger the transfer. The club do not want to trigger it during the January transfer window.

    Twice in a week but I agree 100% here.
    I think by not playing him they are deferring some form of payment.
    It might even allow NUFC to go back and get a lower price if he's 'not been up to scratch' etc.

    I thought Hall was only classed as a loan to defer bulk of the transfer payment and not mess up our FFP status. If we called it a transfer then it has to be amortised over the number of contract years even if payment was spread over a number of years. If its a loan then you only cost what the loan is costing you in that season.

    @FadgewackeR can probably clarify this as he likes to pretend he knows what he is talking about.

    Anyway with the match I would give Lascelles a break and switch either Krafth or Burn to centre-back alongside Botman and then play Hall and Livramento left and right respectively. Midfield of Miley, Longstaff and Guimares. Then Almiron, Wilson or Isak and Gordon.

    Could also go Krafth, Burn, Botman, Hall at the back, push Livramento into midfield and start Almiron and Trippier as subs.

    While our away form in the league hasn't been good we have lost 1 in 4 away in Cup Competitions so no reason to not feel confident.

    I'll start the day by saying Newcastle don't win the important games.

    I don't think you understand that he's rarely available hence the expression made of thin air.

    He appears to be one of these good players that just isn't physically suitable or durable.

    Oh, so he's NOT just thin air then. Right. Sorry, that's all some people seem to think he is on here. Seen it so many times now I assumed it l must be true.
