DH1988 1,356 Posted June 30, 2024 Share Posted June 30, 2024 (edited) £4m offsetting £30m for KDH, £26m, I'm happy with that. At least KDH knows what it takes to go the distance, albeit in the championship, there are way more positives than negatives on this transfer - Very happy.

A complete meh player and by all means a stop gap, was hoping were done with this crap but nope.

Archie has potential, Hall has none. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's absolutely NOT irrelevant. Not in life and evidently not in football either. It affects athleticism, mentality, and to lesser degree, skill. Never seen a team filled with 19-21 players win shit. 🤷♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe this approach for a big club because you lose too much during the process as you hinder the development of these players because they don't have the leadership and experience that provide the foundation necessary to fully develop the younger players. That's why I like getting a couple/few players who are at their peaks, like KDH, to help make the team more robust -- increases the chances of CL and in turn not losing talent (current and future) due to lacking CL football.

The manager does not think so, and he's the guy who has to convince the players "to suffer" for the better good (of the team). If he's a player the manager trusts, and is attainable which appears to be the case, why not? we need options with different characteristics.
