Confirmed Signing Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall

[Bedfordblue]

Welcome James McCarthy KDH.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Gueye, Armstrong, Garner, Tim, KDH

solid 5 options there

my only concern i guess is that there seems to be a lack of physical presence in that midfield and maybe also a lack of quality, Tim and Armstrong are too young to comment on at this stage and garner has had inconsistency issues in the past and we know Gana hasn't got the best passing ability and can sometimes give the ball away too easily

Would share your concern. There’s a big lack of pace KDH and Iroegbunam aside. We could do with another mobile physical midfielder in there to play alongside KDH or Garner in a two or in a 3. Tim probably needs a championship loan.

He's Hall ours ....

Good signing this.

He hasn't even kicked a ball for us yet mate

That’s why I said potential. He seems to have the right attributes, so if he becomes a reliable performer then he has a chance.

Really enjoyed his interview. Seems determined to make an impression and hit the ground running which is what we need.

It's the bit in the vid where he says:

"I'm honestly very excited, my family is excited, there's a real buzz about this, it feels right for me"

That one sentence felt very authentic to me. Prior to that talking about his fitness he eluded to keeping himself ready for when the right opportunity came up like this. That says to me he knew he was probably leaving Chelsea, looked at his potential opportunities with his family, we were one of them, we then approached him therefore a relatively easy deal to do.
Probably in a good head space too. It's always nice when a player doesn't feel like they've been dragged kicking & screaming to join us.

First thing I thought when I watched the announcement video, that he looked happy and chuffed to be here. Which is rather refreshing tbh

Is he National Trust or English Heritage do we know?

He's a very good player, possibly not top top level but will defo improve us no end.

 

[Charro]

If he becomes as good as Doucoure was for us we will have a very good signing.

Like that’s difficult.

The lad they are linked with from Almeira looks that profile.

Like that’s difficult.

Would say it is.

 

[Gwladys St. Glory]

If we manage to get Grealish and Dibling that's a solid UK core, along with Branthwaite.

On the up and up, I hope. COYB

 

[Rita_Poon]

Is this the first full signing (not loan!) from chelsea since Lukaku?

 

[tommye]

Lad can pick a pass.
Reminds me of Paul Bracewell watching that video.
If he's half the player Brace was he'll be doing very well for us.
