[Albion] Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall **Singed for Chelsea 02/07/2024**

[US Seagull]

Max 5 years from an amortisation perspective now

Ah true. For amortisation, but I don't know that the long contracts where only about amortisation. Either way, set very comfortably for the next 5 years is still pretty attractive.

 

[Withdean11]

Oh well moving on.

KDH would've been ideal in that Hartel role, but i'd like to see us go for Emile Smith-Rowe now.

 

[dazzer6666]

That is their policy. They don't have our data, but know its generally good.

They hear we're genuinely linked, they hijack and throw more money.

That is a key plank of Chelsea transfer policy.

Follow Brighton and hijack their targets.

This signing will be more to do with Maresca than Winstanley, Jewell or anyone else.

 

[Flounce]

That's not true at all.

As I think I posted last night - KDH did want to come in January, but our then-manager conspired to cock-up that deal, and it didn't happen. I can't really go into any more detail than that, but I absolutely trust the source and version of events relayed to me.

So does your source still think he wants to come and the “Chelsea or stay at LFC” is also bollocks?

 

[Bozza]

This is absolutely shocking. No wonder we sacked him. The mind boggles why he did that. Can I ask whether it was done intentionally (ie he didn’t want him) or he just messed up somehow (eg he told him he was going to play him in goal and rotate him with Steele and Bart)?

I don't think it was intentional. It was more a case of inaction than an offending action.

 

[oldboyroy]

Disappointed it appears we've lost out again on a player we've been after! And, bloody typical it's to Chelsea

 

[Rookie]

Would be very funny if Leicester rob Chelsea

Was he at the dentists?

The conversations about KDH in January pre-date any of the recent twists to the tale.

I suspect he was still happy to come here, and the various rumours suggest a deal was all-but-done, but we just can't compete with the pull of Chelsea and Maresca.

 

[prawnsarnies]

KDH at Chelsea may get a start in cup games beyond that be bench warmer, once Lavia up and running be lucky to get on the bench.

Be equally as funny if he doesn’t get sold and Leicester fail FFP and get another points deduction on top of the one already on the way

Not sure I agree.

The Chelsea manager knows and clearly rates KDH as he managed him last season!

Also Lavia is a completely different type of midfielder.

That's the way it looks at the moment. No Chelsea players are going to want to join Leicester.[/QUOTE]

Chelsea manager will be sacked before KDH has played more than a few games anyway

 

[Hotchilidog]

The problem for us is the more success we have the likelier we are to be in competition with bigger clubs than us, which leads to scenarios like this. Things are a lot simpler the more modest your ambition.

Anyway on to the next one.

I really hope so!

 

[dazzer6666]

I really hope so!

………until they then come in for a young manager who’s won his first few PL games with an exciting brand of football

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

Wanker. f*** those yank ****s too. f*** me how many more boos next season?

 

[Commander]

Allegedly KDH didn’t want to come here in January

Incorrect.
