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

[Uh_huh_him]

Ornstein says it's done.

[Beach Hut]

To$$er

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

As always, it wasn't the purchase fee that scuppered us, it was the wages and length of contract.

I'm glad that we're not playing the inflated wages game.

We will likely never know that for certain.
What we definitely do lack is "pull".

Not bothered though.
If players don't want to be here, it really is no loss.

 

[Safe.]

Wonder who our back up target for this position is then. I'd love that baumgartner from Austria after seeing him in this euros but I suspect he will be in demand.

 

[Clive Walker]

So KDH passes medical earlier in week but we still allowed time for Chelsea to scupper deal.

As I said our execution of deals is far too slow and sloppy.

I don’t know if this has been mentioned here before? If KDH wanted a larger salary that has never been paid before for our players, (and he shouldn’t be even paid the same as “Dunk” for example) then, The Club have correctly pulled-out of this deal (if indeed, this was the then main reason?). In any case, once we give in to these type of demands, then in the future, Agent’s will insist at least the same wages for their clients Then we will lose any upper hand, we once had with Agents.

“In Tony I trust”! How many other Premiership club fan’s, can say the same thing about their owners and Chairmans?

 

[brighton_tom]

Only signing until June 2026?

We didn’t pull out of the deal. He dumped us.

that did seem strange....

why shouldn’t he be paid more than Dunk out of interest ? KDH has a much higher ceiling / potential than where Dunk is now. Plus Dunks last deal was a couple of years back now wasn’t it ?

Not for me, Clive. We can't make our targets sign by dangling them over a balcony à la Suge Knight. If someone comes in with a better offer, there's not much we can do. Surely, you don't expect us to compete financially with the likes of Chelsea.

 

[The Fits]

Quite a few decent young Chelsea CMs won't be playing much this year.

 

[dwayne]

Fair play at least Chelsea closed it.

If he’s had a medical it suggests deal agreed with LC and personal terms in place with player. To not have it signed sealed and delivered days later is suicidal when you have vultures like Chelsea lurking.

 

[Stato]

So, Chelsea's policy of buying only U23s? That's over is it?

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

I think you’re underestimating the role of agents.
It’s not like the 80s/90s, when a shake of the hand etc was ‘deal done’, it’s to the agents advantage to squeeze every last penny as they get a bigger cut.

 

[pigmanovich]

Only signing until June 2026?

Not according to Ornstein?

 

[S'hampton Seagull]

He must have got wind of the Chelsea interest just before, or at least, straight after the medical. I don't think we would just take a couple of days off and go 'we're off to pub, let's finish this off tomorrow'.

We've been outbid by a club more likely to challenge higher up the table, it happens.
