Can anyone tell me how good or poor Ben Hall was during his time at Motherwell please?

I noticed this article in the Courier and was wondering if he would be a decent signing. 

 

If you go back to page 11 in this thread, his exit is being discussed. 

Should give you a rough idea.

He didn't play a lot of games with us and got a move to Brighton. He moved way too early.

I had decent hopes for him without being overwhelmed at any point by his ability.  Decent in the air from what I remember

It's a small sample size tbh. He only made 19 appearances before fucking off to Brighton.

We were keen to keep him and McGhee was raging when he left. He had kind of been thrown in to the side by McGhee ahead of Baraclough-recruited jobbers like Louis Laing and Kieran Kennedy and given a chance pretty much out of nothing.

He did well and there was definitely potential but he got a lot of help playing alongside McManus.

We made a bit of coin from a development fee with him moving to Brighton (c.£210k IIRC) and that was pretty much the last we heard of him.

There's yer Stephen Robinson. Answering the question from this thread the other day. Good lad.

Nae mention of Christian Ilic..  I thought he might have alluded to him if the deal was close

Tbh, I'd have thought that would be filed in the #donedeal pile. From the sound of things he's "provisionally" signed (hence the posts on his socials) we're just waiting to make sure his contract has officially been terminated and we're not going to get scammed and hit with an invoice for a fee once it's announced.

The money we have set aside is presumably us #waitingforGboly.

Bit random this but was there a reason Roberto Martinez hardly ever got a game during the brief period we signed him just before administration? I remember him joining but that's it.

My assumption was that he was shite at football but, having never actually seen him play despite having a season ticket at the time, I have absolutely no factual basis for this.
