I think it’s a real shame as i rate him but i get it, said he wants to be a midfielder, look whats infront of him here compared to Newcastle, if he breaks in as left back look whats here compared to Newcastle, if him and his family are fans too, i can see his perspective
🚨 Newcastle working on deal to sign Lewis Hall. After multiple bids rebuffed, new offer in. Chelsea preferred #CPFC loan but 18yo favours permanent to play #UCL & under Howe. #CFC have left-back depth + Hall grew up a #NUFC fan. Price ~£35m @TheAthleticFC theathletic.com/live-blogs/t…

I love Lavia btw, wanted him before most of you who are in my replies, so don’t start that one. I was simply saying that spending £60m on top of £115m clearly means that we have to make sales and Hall being one of them is a no-go for me anyway. We needed Caicedo, both is a bonus, but at the cost of Lewis?
Let’s not turn on Lavia lads. He’s a great player and not himself responsible for this. Disagree with the board. But let’s leave Lavia the player out of it. Whether the transfer was necessary sure I get that

The way I see it is this:
We’ve signed excellent players in midfield and have “depth” at LB.
That has made Hall’s path to the team harder and there’s a UCL team after him. Chelsea can also book £35m pure profit on a player that plays positions we have plenty of players in.
It’s far from ideal and selling him is a mistake, It’s frustrating that Chelsea are selling Hall over Trevoh or Gallagher perhaps but we can’t have everything we want at once.
His career comes first for him and him leaving is a mix of opportunity and being nudged out the door.
Not good enough from us but when there’s a side like Newcastle in for him (who he’s a fan of) then he won’t turn it down even though he may not blatantly want to leave.
I don’t think it’s that hall ACTIVELY wants to leave. I think if we chose to just keep him at the club he’d get on with it. But he’s had his head turned by Newcastle and has seen that it’s a clearer pathway and is open to the move over being part of the loan army. Makes sense
Again ultimately the choice is in our hands. He would stay if we 100% wanted him to. But we’re open to selling so he’s open to going. Neither side has shown 100% commitment to the other. But ultimately we are choosing to cash in when we don’t necessarily have to
