Still disgusted by how this was allowed to happen

It's a sad reality where he has more of a chance of playing first team football for title challenging Liverpool than us.

 

If he was still our player he would still be 2 seasons of academy football and a loan away from even being given a chance.

Chelsea Twitter is amazing. They want him gone before the season starts.

No worries he will just tell them to not turn up and watch Fulham or something.

If I remember correctly, Kasper wanted 3 years, and we were only willing to offer 2, so he went to Nice as they were willing to go to the 3 years? 

 

This is now that 3rd year - and he'll be spending it playing for Brendon after all.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall makes Leicester City celebration vow as he explains Chelsea transfer
The midfielder will return to the King Power Stadium in November with his new club, where he is teacher's pet with Enzo Maresca using clips of him to explain his tactics

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall has vowed not to celebrate if he scores against Leicester City this season.

The Shepshed midfielder reunited with former City boss Enzo Maresca this summer, joining Chelsea for £30m. He will be back at his boyhood club in November when City host the Blues in the Premier League, and should he find himself on the scoresheet, he’s said he won’t go wild.

Dewsbury-Hall had said at the start of the summer that he had no intention of leaving the King Power Stadium. And he’s admitted that it took a top club to come in for him in order for his mind to be changed.

 

“If I score against them I won't celebrate,” the 25-year-old said. “I wish them the best of luck for this season. I wanted to test myself at the next level. This felt like the right time and I wouldn't have left Leicester for a sideways move – it had to be a top move.

“I always knew Chelsea were admirers. When Enzo left Leicester, we were on fantastic terms. I wished him the best of luck and he did the same to me. I never in my head thought: ‘He's going to take me when he goes to a big club.’ I don't think I can be that arrogant.

“But when it came about, I was very happy, because it meant I could work under him again and continue to evolve. It was perfect for me.

“I'm a completely different player now coming back into the Premier League than when I was playing in it before. I've evolved, as a player and as a person. I've had the experiences of winning, of dominating games, and understanding football on a different level to what I did before.

“If I made those leaps and bounds in the first year (under Maresca) then I feel excited to see what can happen in the years to come. In football, you can't stagnate, you can't stop learning.”

Dewsbury-Hall is yet to play for his new side, with a knock keeping him out of Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Wrexham and their 4-1 defeat to Celtic. But when he does play, he will be able to follow Maresca’s instructions to a tee, something he is already being teased about, with the manager using clips of Dewsbury-Hall at City to explain his tactics to his new squad.

The midfielder said: “A couple of the lads have had a laugh and joke (about me being the teacher's pet). I don't mind, it's all fun and games.

“You are getting lads coming up to me and asking questions. I am happy to let them know what my opinions and experiences are. They will gather their own opinions week by week.

“They've bought into it from minute one. You need everyone to buy in because if they do, you can really achieve something. I'm hoping that continues because if it does, we can be a serious force.

“You could see that for Leicester last season. Flowing football. It was a joy to watch. This season it will go up a level because Chelsea are a top, top, top club. I genuinely think in a short space of time we can be pushing for minimum top four, but more than that because I can see the foundations are set.

“He (Maresca) has got an aura. You listen to what he is saying. He can be very strict. Then he's got a gentle, human side to him where you can go and talk to him as a person. He was a player for 20 years so he knows what it is like.

“He has come in exactly like he was at Leicester: confident. He's probably more confident here than when he was at Leicester. I don't know if that's because he's had a year under his belt and we did really well at Leicester winning the Championship. He just feels really confident and knows exactly what he wants and needs. He has something about him where you respect him.”

To be fair to Enzo, Celtic also beat and put 4 past Man City earlier in this same week… they are having a good pre-season..

yea but that doesn't suit the weirdos who desperately want Enzo to fail as if that'll justify their constant whinging about us not just sticking Souttar up front and smashing it at him

Didnt man city line up with their academy back line? Chelsea's backline was pretty close to what you would expect to start next season.
