yep exactly because thats the only factor at the moment… not the potential £30 - 40 Million that the club may have to force through

I think the issue is that KDH may not want to leave but the club might need him to leave to generate funds to avoid another PSR breach for 2023/24. But you're right - nobody can force him to sign for another club if he doesn't fancy it, which means we'll have to find another way of raising the funds...

This has been discussed a fair bit, but it bears repeating: you can’t sell a player to another club if he doesn’t want to sign for them. It’s not a slave market. So yes, it absolutely will have to be his choice too.

Of course. But if he is told that the club need to sell him for financial reasons then he will probably leave. I want him to stay and I think there is a decent chance hopefully that he will, but I think it's a little naive for people to think he will definitely be here because he loves Leicester.

Reckon Liverpool need exactly someone with his qualities.

Jordan Henderson-type player.

Not sure KDH would appreciate being called a Hendo-type player. I’d say he’s got a bit more quality and creativity to his game than that!

I would say he is nowhere near the level of Jordan Henderson. Did well in the championship, which is miles below the level Henderson has excelled at.

The quality is often missing from KDH, hopefully improves in the prem

He won't go spurs because they will be too stingy to pay the lenient price for a player of his quality who doesn't play for England

I once again return to remind someone in this forum that KDH is in fact a VERY capable player in the premier league and in his debut season in 21/22 won Players player of the season...for guess what, being very good .

Kdh isn't on the same level as peak Henderson

players all the time talk about being forced out of the club and signing against their will. It happens.

Let’s  remember, he excelled in the CHAMPIONSHIP. He’s been ok in the prem, but needs to dig a little deeper before we mention him and England in the same sentence..

I think he’s destined to wear red pretty soon.

 

His midfield energy would really add something to the engine rooms of either Liverpool or Manchester United - he’s their type of player.

 

Add in he’s English, easily marketable - won’t be going to the Euro’s (so would available for tours / start of season) - and seemingly uncomplicated, I’d be amazed if they didn’t go in for him.

 

If it’s not this season it will be next barring injury.

You can certainly mention KDH and England in the same sentence if the context is of the post you replied to.

I think they'd pay what we wanted for him £25-30m.

Realistically I can't see KDH going to a top 7 club unless they have a need for their homegrown quota. I think we are talking more about clubs along the lines of West Ham, Brighton, Palace etc.

This is where it may get complicated. I can see KDH wanting to go to one of the current top eight, but I imagine he'd regard any team below that as a sideways move at best. Would he accept being pressured into a sideways move that he doesn't think is in his best interests? None of us know for certain, but personally I'm not convinced he would. If the only offers we receive for him are from the likes of Palace, West Ham, Fulham or Brentford etc, I suspect he'll still be with us next season.

Right and Henderson was an ever-present and captain of a Premier League winning side, a Champions League winning side, a side that hit 99 points in a Premier League season. So @Claridge makes perfectly valid claims in his comparison and assessment. There's been nothing from KDH so far that shows he's on the level Henderson reached.

That's not to Dewsburys detriment btw, more so a seeming under appreciation of Henderson.

He's definitely got more creativity, but KDH is nowhere near where Henderson was for Liverpool.

Totally agree 

he is a big fish in a small pond at Leicester 

his level would be palace or Brighton

Yeah but I'm not talking about the comparison to Henderson which I don't really see anyway as they have differing attributes completely. I'm talking about his suggestion that KDH hasn't shown it in the PL....which he has...

If KDH has only half the career Henderson has had then I'm sure he will be happy.

You ITK? The player doesn’t want to leave and it’s not like the era when Pipes was forced out, nor are we facing administration. If a big 6/7 club comes in for him then maybe he’ll go m, but Brighton? Fulham? Brentford? Can’t see it. He’ll have his wages cut if he joins one of these clubs for a start.
