Confirmed Signing Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall

[Paul Rideout]

We paid £24 million for Schneiderlin, this is a bargain.

I’ve said he will be a good signing, Why do you have to go and spoil my evening reminding me that we actually parted money for this stale baguette to play for us.

Even then, he scored more goals for us in the league than KDH has for Chelsea. The lad is a flop for them.

Id have had him before Chelsea signed him as a limited CM who put the effort in & we were fighting relegation.

He's done nothing in the premier league, NOTHING. He's had a good season for Leicester and Maresca has done him a favour on salary and sign on.

£25mil + £3mil add ons were paying???

Whoever has agreed those numbers is on crack.

Sunderland signed Habib Diarra for slightly more. A chasm in technical ability.

We won’t be held to ransom by AFCON.

He's got a point to be fair.

There's no way you've ever watched Strasbourg play let's be completely honest.

….it doesn’t take much research to discover Zat updates his footy games going way back for each window

The prospect of Dibling excites me, this one leaves me a bit flat. Never really understood what KDH brings to the table and was a bit amazed that Chelsea bought him last summer.

Is he an 8? Is he a 10? Doesn't seem to excel at anything. Just tidy, decent eye for a pass and I'd accept that he probably walks into the team, but that's not a high bar currently.

See I actually feel the opposite as it happens. For £25m we're getting a very good player in an area of the pitch thats crying out for someone of his profile. Think this may prove to be the smartest new signing we make this summer..

Dibling at £40-45m seems a quite sizable risk to me..

 

[Paul Rideout]

oh hes off. coz he doesn’t suit. your fantasy made up dream team rubbish

The lad got on the pitch 13 times for Chelsea in the league and played 20 mins on ave.

I hope he’s a success, we’re massively overpaying. IMO xx

 

[toffee66]

We really struggle to retain possession and progress the ball through midfield. KDH would help with that.

 

[Thomasc]

Harrison Armstrong is better than him ....

Ones played a full season of European football and won a trophy and a world club championship with Chelsea.

The other played for Derby County on loan.

I mean come on, let’s not be silly about things.

Hopefully Armstrong goes on to be better than him.

 

[Blue83]

Seems like a solid signing, not expensive and proven in the Prem even if he'll be rusty from being a Chelsea bench warmer

 

[MikeH72]

Well Doucore seems to always play well against us so my opinion might be skewed on him. I'd perhaps compare him to a Mark Noble type player

Doucoure plays football like his shoelaces are tied together if that helps you decide?

 

[coollino]

He's fine for ticking games over but just not much of a game changer. Anyway I apologise, not trying to piss on your bonfire, I hope he does well for you as he's a proper decent lad

Thanks mate, if Alan Ball was to play in the modern game at the same age, who would you say is better?

KDH is tidy and will get stuck in. You won't be questioning his attitude or application

Hang on a minute, did you actually think Doucoure was good?

 

[blueblue]

That doesn’t mean you sign a 28 year old for 30m

We didn't.

You're an absolute lunatic.
