Whitwell mentioned him and so did Sully

Is Sully reliable though? Whitwell fair enough
Yeah Sully reliability is decent, hasn't this guy got quite a low fee so can't understand not getting a deal in place. Makes me think they still believe it could be possible to get Hall before the window closes.

fecking hell, if you can't bother to read at least the summary in the end, why do you even bother?
I knew I'd read about him somewhere before this summer, just found it was from a BBC article at the end of last year on the top 10 talents outside of Europe's five biggest leagues as ranked by the CIES Football Observatory research group based on their performances in 2025.
He was named alongside Givairo Read (Feyenoord), Geovany Quenda (Sporting/now Chelsea), Caleb Yirenkyi (Nordsjaelland/now Coventry), Rodrigo Mora (Porto/now Roma), Kees Smit (AZ), Pedro Henrique (Zenit), Rayan (Vasco/now Bournemouth), Joane Gadou (RB Salzburg/now Dortmund) and Alvaro Montoro (Botafogo).

Surely this is the guy to target
Thanks for the link. Interesting to see how many of those have already moved to Prem clubs. I knew about quite a few of these but had no idea about Henrique, Montoro, Salinas (before we were linked), and Yirenki (before he moved to Coventry, will keep an eye on how he does for sure) as of the end of last season. It's a shame the article didn't actually talk more about the players. Each paragraph doesn't really mention anything useful about the player or their data. Might be worth keeping on eye on how Pedro Henrique and Alvaro Montoro develop.
How much would it take to sign this guy again?
€16m release clause apparently.
Would say Sully is more reliable personally
Know little of Salinas but the rest of that list know pretty well.....if he is on that level must be pretty good, all Ive seen is youtube videos and werent that exciting tbh but that means nothing
No brainer to just go and get him then surely
Might not want to join. He's a starter for Santander and apparently Barca want him, so they might convince him to stay put and wait
This was my fear of trying to get any Spanish born player, the call for them to Real or Barca will most likely trump us everytime and would explain Barca trying to offload Balde to us
Bit like when Pique wanted to go home in summer 08
Exactly what came to mind too
Where do you reckon he is on the shortlist for LB?
I would say Hall is our main target and he would be back up, i hope he is preferred to Raum but would also be open to Seys, but i hope we steer clear of MLS
What's the issue with Robinson. I feel we should just buy him for 25m now while he has 3 good years.
We let Shaw leave when his contract is up and buy Hall at the time when Newcastle are more inclined to sell.
Will admit I am a bit ageist on that guy
No indication any PL team will sell one of their important players for a pittance in the final week of the window when they planned on keeping him and they have no time to get a replacement.
25m for a 29 year old is not exactly a pittance ?
So Jorge Salinas is recommending to Lewis Hall that we sign Diouf, Robinson or Raum?
If we get him(which would be cheap), hopefully we can also get an experienced right back...
Problem is INEOS don't see issue at RB
Sign him!
Yeah for £13m it's worth the gamble
That is nothing, if he fails, we can give him to Rashford to pay off the last year of his contract.
Apparently had a bad injury last year and didnt look the same as before. Would be risky.
Yeah if it didn't work out would be easy to move as one thing INEOS don't do is put people on daft contracts
Just pay this guys release clause before Atletico
Is he even good?
When the compilation video was posted after the 1st game I assumed the 2nd and 3rd matches would also have compilations posted, so didn't bother watching the full games as originally intended (also I was feeling pretty low after last wkd's football tbh). Feels like the links have died down
Barca wanting him says to me he has potential
Here are the compilations against Getafe and Elche for those who want to judge whether or not we should go for him (bear in mind there could still be some off the ball moments not captured, there were a couple for the 1st one posted by the same twitter account)
Links have definitely died down since the thread created, so maybe Ornstein will surprise us in next couple of days by confirming we have activated clause
Don't understand not pivoting here earlier when it became crystal clear Hall wasn't leaving Newcastle
At the price makes sense play him off the bench, lesser games and cups, see how he does at least he will be another option
