Rumour is that he's re-joining Macclesfield on loan until the end of the season.

Straight swop for Elliot Durrell please!

Hope not, he's done well centrally the last few games.

Think he looks a capable player at centre half but out of his depth at right back. A bit like Michael Kay, who was a fish out of water at full back but was a good little centre back.
If letting him go meant we could get a replacement or two, I wouldn't cry about it.

Perhaps Askey can get something out of him or sees something in him that we cant. Came with a big reputation bit has done little to justify it. You get the feeling that most of McCarthys signings would do a decent job in someone elses team but that collectively they have the same problem , a chronic lack of pace.

Crazy if true, going from bottom to the top of the league. Macc have had an excellent season especially when we took their so called best players and they didn't start recruiting till mid July. Macc fans won't be happy with Halls going back.

With our defensive options I think this would be a ridiculous move that could really harm our survival chances.

If we manage to ship him off we could easily replace him. I think this is the key. Big Jon threw a shed load of cash at these experienced conference players due to his lack of negotiating skills and that is the reason we had no budget left to pad out an efficient squad. Let's be honest, beyond the starting eleven our squad was padded out by youngsters and players such as Davies and Joyce. Get rid of a few of these overpaid Charlie's and we might be able to bring 2-3 others in. He's had a few decent games at centre half but is a liability elsewhere. I'm sure we could find someone else who could play centre half to the same standard at a lot cheaper rate.

Agree with Tarvin Plenty out there who are better. He's a terrible full back, OK in the middle. His failure to cut out crosses drives me mad. If we can save a bit of cash then ship him out.

It's a no-brainer really. All the above plus the fact that he's had 10 bookings and 2 bans makes him an expensive luxury.

I find it hard to believe this would be true. He didn't leave Macc on very good terms and has criticised them a lot on Twitter. Their fans don't like him. Macc are having a great season so not sure why they would want him.
To Halls' credit, I think he has upped his game recently, but overall he's been poor for us. If it is true, tend to agree that it would be a good move.

Let Macc 'buy one and get one free' with McCombe part of the deal.

I think he comes in for some undeserved stick. Granted he's the worst passer of a ball I've seen in the professional game but he doesn't hide and he will challenge for the ball. As lobster says I can't see this being true and MB has spoken highly of Halls previously.

I've noticed this on many posts this season, quotes like above as well as "plays for the shirt". We are first and foremost a football team, a minimum requisite is that you can play football I really don't care how big your heart or collones are just do the job you're paid for!

He is absolutely woeful. And his performances in the last couple of matches have only been remotely noticeable because of how abjectly shite he's been for the rest of the season. Personally would be delighted to see the back of him.

Wouldn't be surprised if he has requested a move back given the amount of personnel abuse and hatred he receives on this site and at the Deva on match days. Players don't respond well to that kind of 'Motivation'. I know I wouldn't.

Hey don't get me wrong, I haven't got his poster above my bed or anything and I probably should have made myself clearer. I've gone on record on here as saying this is the worst team I've ever seen at Chester. And I've seen some bad teams. I just don't think he's as bad as any of the others down there when it comes to commitment. His passing really is something else though.

I hope it’s true as long as it frees up money to bring in new players.
