Disgusting if we waste resources on this guy, I'd rather keep Gallagher.

As much as Gallagher is a reliable midfield option who has energy + doesn't miss many games, his passing is not good enough to be a starting midfielder at a top club. 

KDH is an upgrade on him.

Not enough of an upgrade to warrant slapping 30m on him.

Ornstein has said we have submitted a bid for KDH, if deal struck he will sign long term deal, he declined chance to join Brighton so it;s sign for CFC or stay at LCFC

He's a good footballer but did not think we are actually going to sign him in midfield. 

 

I think Casadei will be integrated into the deal!!!

[Special Juan 27,419]

Casadei and Fofana are the two players being discussed

[TheHulk 1,847]

Also get rid of this trash already, so sick of his name popping every other day.

I'd like to know what are the alternatives. 

KDH is 25 and seems way more mature than the last time he was in the PL

Makes sense.

[Pizy 18,360]

Holy hell, the Leicester fans on their forum really, REALLY don’t want Casadei back. They’re all saying he was dogshit and completely out of his depth when he was there last season.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall probably will become Chelsea captain by default for being older than most of the squad.

6 September 1998 - 25 years old.

6 September 2024 - he turns 26

If true just take the deal to get his wages off our bill

I have not seen any keeper atm who has Ederson-level ball skills

he is pretty unique

Oh, for sure. I probably should've said Tier 1 GK passing skills, rather than specifying Ederson. 

[Thor 2,392]

KDH is exactly the type of signing we need. Guys that can slot in and have a bit of experience. 

If it comes at the likes of Fofana and Casadei, all the better. They weren't ever going to make it here. 

 

They're adding decent "experience" signings. Guys who know how to steady ships. 

A good LW/SS and a starting calibre CB would be enough business IMO.

no one here of import said that Kai or Nkunku was a true CF

why?

because they are not CFs

No but all it was talked about, particularly with Nkunku. Before he arrived everyone had him shoehorned into their first 11s playing him as a CF….

Suppose doesn’t mean much but if this Guiu isn’t an actual CF and is another flexible attacking player who doesn’t particularly excel in one set position, who cares if he could play CF? Be another needless signing in that case.

 

And KDH? Are people really seeing this as a good move? Fuck sake. He is much much much lower level than Gallagher. In all honesty, similar sort of signing to Steve Sidwell back in the day to me, pointless. But again people will get excited because he had a good season in the Championship, aged 26. We are in for an absolute horrendous season if this is the calibre of players we are going after. Cannot wait.

KDH & top club don't go hand in hand. If this deal does actually happen, it's nothing more than a stop gap.

I had hoped that would be a thing of the past.
