Shane Posted 14 February 2023 Share Posted 14 February 2023 Could KDH be our Tielemans replacement? He looked good alongside Mendy against Spurs, so maybe KDH + a CDM is the way forward? KDH and Skhiri would be a solid partnership in midfield. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ts_1010 Posted 14 February 2023 Share Posted 14 February 2023 (edited) I think KDH has the potential to be a Youri replacement. Youri currently shows more vision and confidence in games. But then you might expect that of a guy with so much experience. KDH's left peg is underrated by most on here. With a genuine right winger to ping it out to, we will see it more and more. Hes has some development to do, certainly, but I think he's getting better. When he broke through he seemed to be focused on running the ball up the left flank interchanging with Barnes. Now there is more variation. It's the complete opposite development plan to Youri, who was in the Champs League at 16. But as long as he keeps adding to his game, I think we should give KDH the chance next year to be our main man.

I’ve been impressed with what I have seen of him and think there is potential there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Posted 15 February 2023 Share Posted 15 February 2023 I think both Maatsen and Harwood-Bellis who are on loan at Burnley would be great for us. They fit the type of profile that Glover went for at saints too. Anel ahmedhodžić and Anthony Rouault would be my other centre back targets.

Said this in another thread this week but as long as Rodgers is the manager here, I don't see this happening. He'll want a much better ball-player than KDH in the middle of the park when Youri goes. As good as KDH was in his energy, his closing down, etc, he was extremely poor with his passing. This is purely from memory I've not checked the stats but he must have been one of the Leicester players that gave the ball away the most? His passing was extremely poor and his one-footedness was very telling at times. Two or three times he passed it completely in to touch when trying to find Tete on the wing. I just can't see Rodgers tolerating that long term. As a box to box midfielder as the foil to a 'Tielemans-type' then he's great and he's hopefully got a big future here. But he's not consistent or two footed enough to replace Tielemans like-for-like (in terms of role, I'm not even expecting him to be 'as good'.) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely agree and think he suffered from being on the right instead of the left. He struggled to play those balls down the line to Tete because he kept trying to use his left foot because it's his strongest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stadt Posted 17 February 2023 Share Posted 17 February 2023 KDH's strength when the team is in possession is his direct running in support of the attack, he's a good vertical player as an aggressive 8/box-to-box midfielder. His dribbling, carrying, combination play and shooting are typically sharp. He's a middle and final third midfielder, playing him a 6/deeper passer wastes his skillset.

Despite him missing an absolute sitter from about five yards his overall performance was tremendous. Scared the Rennes defence shitless on a number of occasions, loved his assist for Dallinga’s goal especially. One of the best performances I’ve seen from a Ligue 1 winger this season. As you’re addicted to left footed right wingers, Badredine Bouanani of Nice has showed signs of promise recently 👍🏻 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimJams Posted 19 February 2023 Share Posted 19 February 2023 We just paid £15mill for a defender from the Champ, not exactly a stretch to go to £20mill for someone you'd hope has a higher ceiling for their position.
