Feels as though we are panickling and perhaps getting a little desperate.
Thing is we were all saying 'if we can't get our first or second choices then get the third choices instead ffs', so we can't really complain to much when the club go and do just that

Id say the opposite.

Maybe underwhelming but solid and defo improve the squad.

Id prefer this than chasing fofana etc

Solid player in KDH, better than garner by a mile. Point to prove as well

And Dibling has lots of scope to be a really good player. Good place for him to develop.

Im really glad with this.

We need to create a solid competitive foundation before buying stars.

We can’t buy stars.

Dewsbury-Hall feels like a solid workhorse with some upside for a position where we can’t afford a dud.

Dibling feels like trying to buy a future star.

Apparently has a great attitude which is something Moyes will have wanted from whoever we signed (according to the Chelsea forum at least).

Happy enough with this.
24M with add ons seems reasonable.
Now go and get a right back, we've only been waiting five years for one

Give Moyes his due - he has more than one success under his belt in rehabilitating a player that moved to a bigger club and stalled/went backwards.

How about his record with players who spent one season at a club with 60 players in his position so didn’t get many minutes?

He was a ridiculous signing for Chelsea in the first place.

Maresca favorite and top professional, yeah, but not talented enough to play a meaningful role with all of the players on their books.

If he’s as useful for us as I expect then it worked out because there’s no way we’d have been able to sign him last summer when he should’ve made a move like this.

A Chelsea mate says he’s a good lad who works his ass off to get in the side and when he’s in there he plays like his life depends on it

I'd not be too devestated with Garner as attacking full back, good engine, good delivery. JoB too when JT and JB are available at CB. We do need a specialist right back but CM and RW are probably where I am most twitchy.

If you read the Leceister forums they typically view him as an attacking midfielder. They also seemed to think £30m was an overpay by Chelsea and he was never worth that much.

I'm very unconvinced by this move. Never really proven he can put up numbers in the premier league, 27, £24m plus add-ons.

Just feels like a player who won't add much other than a body who is somewhat versatile.

I think we need that but not at the price quoted when there is no way we are getting any money back on him.

Hopefully proves me wrong.

Hopefully the addons are based on things like league finish or goal contributions. If it's playing time then that price is a little harder to swallow.

I'm in, we've gotta have a double-barrelled player.
