he is and never was a 40m player really

he was until he blew out his Achilles tendon

he has clearly lost a half of a step, which is so crucial for a speed merchant like him

If we lose him to Arsenal I won't recover from this.

I like this signing. KDH seems to me to have useful attributes to bring to our squad. Now we'll have the chance to see just how useful.

If Arsenal are willing and able to match our financial package to Calafiori, and I don't see why they wouldn't be, then they have a lot of advantages over us regarding competing at the highest levels immediately. The only thing I see as a potential recruiting advantage for us is that he is likely to have a harder time earning minutes at Arsenal than with us. They have a much more settled, and more successful, CB partnership then we do. For good measure they also have good cover at left back. He can't realistically expect to be an automatic first choice at the Emirates, but such unexpectation would be reasonable if he moved to Stamford Bridge.

In all pictures released from training everyone is in training kit except Chilly. Have I missed something or is this quite strange?

So far some pretty good business

[Duppy Conqueror 1,494]

Welcome aboard KDH.nice signing at good value for us. Like this window so far.2 or 3 more first team additions then we should be done with the additions. My favourite 3 now out of ones we have been linked with would be Mamardashvili,Calafiori and David.

I think the sales are fine. Matsen I think may struggle in the PL due to his size and I think £37.5m is a decent fee. Hall is also fine, although I think he will become worth more than that fairly quickly. Hucth I am fine with so long as the 25% sell on is correct. 

The problem for me is the buys. KDH is fine, but does he provide additional quality? Estevao and Kellyman are pure punts on 'talent', with Kellyman being particularly speculative. Guiu, is a good buy simply due to how low the fee and wages are reportedly. Tosin is ok as a free, but my Fulham mate has seriously worried me that he isn't that great at deafening, so not sure if he actually brings much to the table if my friend is to be believed.
