Confirmed Signing Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall

[heatmeiser]

let em overpay for arsenal and Chelsea rejects

£30m for KDH is nothing

Burnley just paid (or are about to pay) £20-25m for Sicknote Broja... Quansah went for £35m

hi V

I don’t. He’s exactly what we need and better than anything we have got presently.

He'd add guile and industry to the midfield,plus he's got a turn pace.

Be a good deal to do, if we could get it done.

I liked the look of him at Leicester and thought he'd bring us on as a team near the bottom.

But surely we need players to take us into Europe if were paying £30mil?

A loan may work out but were only allowed two domestic and I suspect theres better players available, even just from Chelsea.

I think he'll push us on mate.

Fulham have already made a ‘formal approach’ for Dewsbury-Hall, though it’s understood it could take just north of £30million to secure his services.

But that price tag could come as music to the ears of Everton, who are in desperate need of a new midfielder after Abdoulaye Doucoure’s contract expired and Orel Mangala’s loan ended.

According to the Times, the Toffees have now shown interest in Dewsbury-Hall, who could become an alternative target after being put off by Juventus’ £40m asking price for Douglas Luiz.

You know what I was thinking the other day, what Fulham definitely really need is another CM/number 10 hybrid in case Iwobi, Smith-Rowe and Pereira get injured.

Would be a great bit of business
Easily a first team starter and a solid step towards the next level players after him in a few windows time
once the rebuilds well underway and the extra finances push us way clear of a few teams currently we sit amongst

Without me looking through the thread or youtube video of him (expect there will be nothing recent of him)..

What kind of player is KDH? Where does he fit into the team?

Honestly know very little about him.

 

[Nymzee]

Great attacking stats, looks allergic to defending here, but possibly skewed from playing further forwards.

He literally was the main man in the side that won the euro cup for chelsea last season

There are stats from other seasons when he is a lot more rounded but aye, his attacking and progressive stats are what should be key for us here as that's what we really lack in midfield.

That broja fee was a wake up call to where the market is

Given our current low profile after years of struggle we are going to need a combination of incremental improvement in veteran signings and one or two of our punts on young/unproven players to work out. KDH is better in possession than Doucoure but worse off the ball. Signing him helps us in attack and Beto/Barry would benefit from his runs and through balls. On the flipside it would place an even greater onus on finding an effective ball distributing DM option to balance the team. The squad is a jigsaw. We need complementary pieces because we cannot simply buy readymade complete pictures.

 

[Noisy noise annoys]

He has now become a player I really want - it does your head in when they then sign for Fulham.

Stupid football

 

[dixienormous]

Weren’t we linked before he joined Chelsea. I think we were linked to all the double-barrelled boys…KDH, AMN, MGW and we had DCL

and JFH.....

 

[MACCA75]

He’s not the biggest, or best defensively, so would probably be competition for Alcaraz. Would still need competition for Gana/Garmer.

It would take 5 players at 50 million+ each to get us anywhere near Europe!
