Pablo Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 We will hopefully look back on this as a great piece of business. I hope the Bournmouth guys are right about him having a trajectory to England. Probably worthwhile against the small risk that he ends up injured and on a contract we can’t shift him from. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ9 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Very happy with this. He’s going to be class. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Jinx Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 So he’s Dummets replacement? Certainly an upgrade if a risky one at that. Is he purely a left back or can he play CB? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Checko Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Only concern really is his injury record, though the lack of a transfer fee certainly compensates for that. Seems a good player and professional, adds pace to our CB group, which we really need. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to the Bournemouth fans, the other way round. He's a good CB that can also play LB Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormick Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Can’t really complain about this one on a free. I mean, some people can I suppose. At worst a very useful squad option when fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Prophet Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 He's a good player. If we can keep him fit he'll be a really useful addition. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a free transfer so would have had some leverage, and would have been looking for some security. We probably compromised on a longer contract, but on a lower salary than he may have wanted initially. Took a bit of time for this to be finalised, and so I imagine these were the types of discussions taking place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
80 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Let me nail my colours to the mast as being pro this signing. But it is pretty funny being happy about this signing while griefing about Hayden still being on our books in a neighbouring thread. There's certainly risk attached, but all in it looks like a calculated gamble. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 (edited) Oh, and also, longer contracts mean less of an FFP hit, year on year. And so there's that as well. Edited June 11 by KaKa Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy84 Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Hayden was signed when we were a championship club as an unproven young player. Least with Kelly there is some proof of his quality at this level and potential to get better Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he got that new contract, we probably already knew that too, but ... Mike Ashley. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully it all shakes out fine, and as I say, I think it's worth the shot. But there's a not inconsiderable chance we'll all be rolling our eyes about him still having a year to go here in 2028.
