It appears desperation on Ehab's part. Maybe he heard the message from the stand asking "where's the money gone?" & he wanted to be seen as spending some. It's gone on over different seasons now so for me it's too little too late & I'm still only looking forward to them both doing the long walk even though Ehab appears to have taken the reins whilst the Doctor sleeps. Between them they've done more needless things than needful things. Saying that I hope this lad & tuther one, added to the skeleton crew, can spark a revival & that he can become a talisman in the team, turning the KCom back into a joyland.
Not that that many players though and not for that much money. The upper limit seems about 3 million, and if he can he'd prefer loans.
Kingsley was a fringe player for us learning his trade and when he did play he did ok .....A step down could be the making of him as he has talent and coached the right way and more game time will enhance his game.....
