I'm in Spain and out the blue I get a call from a season ticket mate telling me that Cucarella is leaving and we have asked Newcastle about taking back Lewis Hall. Apparently we had a sell on clause that effectively means we would get a discount.
I was gutted when we sold him as I saw him as a player who could play in two positions. He would have been brilliant as in inverted FB.

I will believe Cucurella leaving when it's official, but my question is why would Hall come back.

I guess if Cucarella leaves, he would be certain to get games.
I think if I was him, I would come back, but then I'm a tad biased.
It's only a rumour, along with all the others that will do the rounds. Some bloke called Sangare is also being mentioned. Apparently a very solid DM.
I love the rumours.

Yep, never should have sold Hall, or the plethora of other talent we've sold off.

Standard, I have virtually not wanted us to sell any of our academy players. Some have turned out to be poor sales, but some have proved to be the correct decision.
It's very easy with hindsight, and it's very easy for me to say "sell none of them", but not practical.

We would be a better team if we sold none of them and bought 1 player a season instead. We'd be a lot richer too, with money to build a stadium or grow in another way. That's all been thrown down the toilet.
