In his 8 mins when they were 6-2 up

Context is everything, innit.

Monster.

He would tick a few boxes for us. HG, local-ish, box-to-box CM who can get up and support the attack, effective presser.

He cost Chelsea 30mill.

No way we'd go anywhere that?

Probably not but they might take a loss on him given he's tied up for 6-years otherwise and he's hardly increased his value since.

Strange signing.

Maybe it was a PSR favour after pinching their manager.

It's the sort of signing we probably should make, but not one we ever would under Fosun in my opinion.

He's 26, thought he was younger than that.

Not sure he’s actually that good.

Bit of a Tommy Doyle Mark II to me.

Agreed, but 5-year deal gets him for his peak years. Clearly we have an issue with a lack of HG players and HG box-to-box players of his quality are like hen's teeth. That type of player particularly useful in a back 3 too as you're sacrificing an attacker.

Don't agree with that, pretty lazy comparison IMO. His engine is miles better than Doyle's which is what holds Tommy back and just can't do the the things KDH does in the attacking third. Think he got 14 goals and 12 assists last season for Leicester, it's impossible to see Doyle getting anywhere close to those numbers even at that level.

Never seen him do anything of note..

Indeed.

Were you asleep for all of last season?

26 goal involvements from central mid not noteworthy apparently.

I don't really watch Championship games, he did nothing for Leicester before they went down and now he can barely get a kick back in the big time.

 

[The Bear]

He was by far their best player last season and Leicester fans were pissed that Maresca took him and then never played him.

I suppose if you ignore his standout and exceptional season and think the fact he can't get regular game time ahead of Lavia, Caiceido and Enso is a sign he's not good enough for Wolves then I can understand your point of view.

How about you stop responding like an arsehole and read what I said.

 

[Tony Towner]

A lot on here have never rated him, I disagree but he did make a stupid move if you ignore the financial. Comparing him to Tommy Doyle is farcical

 

[Tony Towner]

RIP irony, sadly died on Wednesday 8th January 2025 @ 14.26
