Dennis Praet possibly joining Anderlecht on a free ... Good luck to him - quality at times, if blighted by injury...
KDH latest ... Rumours that deal had been agreed with Brighton for £25 million plus Polish International midfielder Jakub Moder (25) coming the other way ... was in Polish squad at Euros ... Brighton deal now in jeopardy after Chelsea come in for KDH at the 11th hour ... Chelsea transfer would be circa £40 million... Be sorry to see him go - but needs must ...
I don't pretend to understand how this sustainability malarky works, but do we know what the benefit to the club would be in respect of a reduction in points docked if we were to sell KDH for, say, £50 million? If it amounts to a reduction in points docked of, say, 9 points would it be worth keeping him as we are already losing a third of our midfield with Wilf going, and losing KDH as well would surely cost us more than 9 points over the season.? Or does it not work like that? Is there no laid down scale of punishment or is it purely arbitrary depending on what side of the bed members of the 'committee' get out on the day of reckoning?
So looks like KDH has gone for £30 million with 17 year old Chelsea starlet, Michael Golding coming the other way for £4 million ... seems like a lot if Chelsea fans are rather disgruntled by us getting the youngster ... here's hoping he proves that they were right to be ...

His leaving statement was quite moving - circumstances surrounding his leaving so different to Chilwell and the jug eared slug, Wesley Fofana ..
Very different, he didn't want to leave. The ridiculous mess we're in financially dictated that he had to. He looked as thrilled as someone who'd lost a winning lottery ticket in the Chelsea signing pictures Is Forfana still alive?
Hardly played due to injury - fabulous player if he gets back to his very best ... If him and JJ had both avoided those horrible injuries (and Jugs had fulfilled his contract) what a defence we might have had
https://x.com/JPercyTelegraph/status/1809147910354837784?t=eCRCznEf5sLvn3d2QjRkQw&s=19 On a free. He turned down a contract extension at Fulham. Well regarded at Fulham. Isn't a setting the world alight signing but he's versatile, works hard and has PL experience. Assuming we've not offered silly wages and a too long deal, I'm not unhappy with this at all.
Agree... if we'd have been offered a swap deal for Iheanacho then I'd have been in favour ... and that's effectively what we have got ...
I just hope we dont go on a Forest like splurge on every player going. We still have a reasonably strong squad so just a few quality signings would be nice.
Happy so far with the reported likely incoming - Cooper seems to do well in developing younger players ..
https://x.com/LCFC/status/1809542821004861698?t=TYo4cc_COLJB1IuMOg8Hzg&s=19 Bobby is official. My Fulham supporting OH is genuinely gutted. All of the Fulham fans on their announcement are sad to see him leave and wish him well. Always a good sign. Apparently, a thoroughly nice chap to boot and part of the Fulham leadership group. A bit of experience isn't going to go amiss next season.
https://x.com/LCFC/status/1809936655316361411?t=jqAR0-6ge_TmsOg8hZIzKA&s=19 And another signing. The Chelsea fans seem to have quite a high opinion of him for a young player.
Caleb Okoli has signed a 5 year deal with us. Another one I haven't heard of, I just hope it isn't Caleb from Clarkson's Farm!
Fantastic news that Wilf has signed a 3 year deal. Things are starting to look much brighter as far as the playing side is concerned. I hope the sustainability ruling doesn't knock things back. Any idea when the decision is due?
