Fox92 Posted 22 August 2020 Posted 22 August 2020 Hasn't he gone back to Blackpool or did I dream that?

Billy Big Balls Posted 22 August 2020 Posted 22 August 2020 Solid move for him. League 1 last season. Championship this season. Premier league next season. 3
mozartfox Posted 22 August 2020 Posted 22 August 2020 We are going to need him here. Prefer to see Matty James go out on loan. Zero point giving him a squad position. 2
CloudFox Posted 22 August 2020 Posted 22 August 2020 Football Insider reporting it: https://www.footballinsider247.com/exclusive-luton-town-open-talks-to-sign-leicester-city-midfielder/ Would be a good move for him - another step up and a challenge.
Leicester_Loyal Posted 22 August 2020 Posted 22 August 2020 Too early for him to start games for us regularly, needs a season on loan in the Championship playing 30+ games, this would be good. 3
ALC Fox Posted 22 August 2020 Posted 22 August 2020 Could be a good move, this one. Luton will have ambitions of pushing on and not being involved in a relegation scrap this term, and having a promising young midfielder from the Premier League could be a good addition for them. It'll be a scrap for KDH at times, too. It could really help him get accustomed to the rigours of first-team football.
Clever Fox Posted 22 August 2020 Posted 22 August 2020 The right time for him to go out and gain big match experience. Good prospect for the future. 1
Ric Flair Posted 22 August 2020 Posted 22 August 2020 On the one hand it could be worth someone like him as 5th/6th choice and playing a few European and Cup games but on the other a full season in the Championship might see his development continue further and then he's even more ready to be called upon as a first team player for 2021/22. 3

Just like energy money etc.. When you let it go it grows. When you hoard it it diminishes and weakens. Edited 22 August 2020 by SO1

You're re right the Club does have a duty of care to the young players. However I'd like to see them go further and encourage the younger players take a Certificate or Degree course alongside their football studies. To be fair to the Club, Nobody that we let go as young player has come back to haunt us or carved out a strong career elsewhere. As to Dewsbury- Hall We're only letting him go out on Loan again which is the right thing to do for his development. If he can survive in the Championship then he should come back a stronger and better player for his experience. Good luck to the lad, I wish him well. Plus it brings in some welcome income for the Academy.

Get him down on an improved 3-4 year deal, get him out on loan to the championship next season and hopefully make £2m-3m from him next summer 1

And we can always recall him in January, if needed. (I am assuming the January window will operate as normal; but have no idea.)
justfoxes Posted 26 August 2020 Posted 26 August 2020 (edited) Thought he played well when he came on today, took his goal well too definitely will surprise a few this season! Edited 26 August 2020 by justfoxes 1

If the clubs youth aims are to nurture talent for all these years, find someone who has genuine promise just to sell for a paltry 2-3mil you have to question why we even bother. The reports on KDH are overwhelmingly good. Blackpool fans think he's the second coming of Paul Scholes. But because he's 22 we should write him off? Ridiculous. 1
