Hallam and Semple

[10-0 win]

Both Jordan Hallam and Callum Semple currently in Malaga trialing with Roger Nilsen's former club Viking Stavanger.
Hallam played yesterday and did very well according to reports.
Hallam has scored 60 goals with the u-18/u-23 in two years

 

[Carlton Blade]

It would be great if more young players took a risk and went overseas. Look how foreign players often improve after spending time in other leagues

 

[Rodley]

Loan or permanent deals? If the latter, 50% sell on clauses please.

Didn't Lowton go on loan to Hungary at one point?

 

[Carlton Blade]

I think he did. Ferencvaros I'd assume

 

[mancunianblade]

Might have completely made this up but wasn’t Matt Lowton all but released when he went to Ferencvaros?

Yes

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Yes

Exhibit A of the evidence that different players develop at different times, and why players shouldn’t always be written off if they haven’t broken into the team before they hit their twenties.

 

[Sunnyblades]

Hallam's definitely one for the future scoring all those goals.

Hallam's definitely one for the future scoring all those goals.

At the start of last season Semple was 6 months away from the first team according to Tufty. It's great news that he's back from injury.

He was a very late developer in terms of breaking through, i recall reading an article on Lowton where he's quoted as saying his move to Ferencvaros was the making of his career with the Blades.

Any update on the lads on trial in Malaga?

They’ve both signed a 4-month-loan with Viking FK, taking them to the end of our domestic season. The Norwegian season starts next week. Both are out of contract at the Lane this summer.

Are you sure about Semple ! he had only just signed his first pro contract when he did his ACL.He was highly rated so can't see him being out of contract in the summer.Hallam is a few years older so he
could be.

Not sure about all this. Things change very quickly.

I hope they will both sign new contracts. Callum has made a fantastic comeback and
Done everything asked of him

 

[EddieColquhoun]

Both are out of contract at the Lane this summer.

Both signed contracts until "at least the end of 2017/18". This suggests that the club has options on them.

In which case, GLTTLs.

 

[Ihadadream]

A great opportunity to play competitive football and experience a different culture what a great move for the pair of themnthry will only come back better players

 

[Cerberus Blade]

I think he did. Ferencvaros I'd assume

Correct! He was taken under the wing of the legendary Ferenc Puskas and forced to make strong tea. Along with Craig Short and Bobby Davison.

Lowton came back a much better player for it and is now brewing tea for Burnley in the Premiership.

Noticed that Hallam was back playing for the U23s in the 3-1 win against Hull in Whitby yesterday. Him and Tyler Smith on the scoresheet as per usual.
Great free kick goal from Hallam on:

I noticed that too. I kept an eye on his and was on the bench as few times with a bit of early game time but I assume he didn't impress as loan cut short.

Is he any good though?

 

[Sunnyblades]

Hallam was only loaned out til beginning July anyway his goal records for u18's & 23's tell you if he's any good. I think he was on loan at Southport before Norway ?

 

[Addison]

Left footed centre back looked the part before his injury. He's getting games for QOS but it won't have done his reputation any good to be part of a defence that let Conor Sammon score twice recently.

I thought he was loaned out in May for 4 months?

That’s the kind of assumption that is pretty poor. So he looked the part before his injury. Does that mean he doesn’t look the part now?

Semple has had two MOM performances in 4 games.

Semple marked Salmon secondhalf at 2 0 down and never gave him a kick. His reputation as a young 19 year old centre back is growing each game.
