Think Alcaraz offers way more.

Still don't mind KDH but would rather see him further back.

If Dibling or Alcaraz can’t offer more than KDH in the No 10 then what are they even doing at the club.

Issue with KDH is he's quite lightweight and doesn't seem particularly creative.

I think he'd be fine if we could hit on the counter with a striker who could hold it up, quick interchange with KDH and one of the widemen and use his energy and passing in space... As it stands we don't have that and we need someone more industrious in there. Alcaraz drives forward with it, and that's more useful with the strikers unable to handle any sort of quick direct transition.

Suspect he’ll play a number of different roles for us and be decent enough in all of them without standing out.

He’s so easy to play through in that number ten. Too slow and weak.

Drop him back when lanky number ten under David Moyes season approaches.

I think that's about it. He was a safe bet at 25m. Never going to be more than that. A bland okay signing. The real problem is hes been 1 of successes

Don’t you tick tock me. Said all along signing a 27 year old who’s played most of his football in the championship wasn’t a great idea.

Think he’ll look better further back though. He’s a nothing player in the 10.

Stands next to Grealish and Ndiaye brilliantly.

I like him but he's pointless in the 10

Don't tend to get many midgets with no pace or strength playing cm in the prem do you.

Supposed to have told Moyes he thinks he can get double figures. Might have to get a move on imo.

He's safe.

That's all there is to it.

Charlie is a better ball carrier, takes shots when there's an opportunity, and looks go play forward more than anyone else in the middle.....but he sometimes gives the ball away in dangerous places and moyes has always valued reliability.

Dewsbury-hall doesn't really try anything risky until the 18 yard box when he's trying to force a pass that isn't on.

Also he's better in a 4-3-3, feels like we're trying to shoehorn him in to a 4-3-2-1 when it's not really his best role.

We won't play 4-3-3 though so needs to drop out and give Alcaraz an extended run.

He's better in the championship. All there is to it

The only one making up stories is you and your formation nonsense.

Oh he's better as a left sided cm in a three with - oh shush honestly. Can do it or he can't. He can't do it in the prem. Does not impact the game. Another waste of money.

Ok mate, not arsed about arguing over this tbh

I was surprised by this signing at the time and still am.

Money that could have been spent better elsewhere.

They largely play, or have played in different positions.

We need a squad and in particluar, options.

But no, I get it, "all options are shit".
