Kaine Kesler Hayden

I doubt that we will get anywhere near £5 million for him - he will probably leave us on a free at the end of his contract.

[PeterWithesShin]

Congrats on the debut young man.

[Brazilian Villain]

Yeah, I don't think he will make it with us.

His pace will always make him dangerous, but I just don't think he is either good enough on the ball to be a winger, or defensive enough to be a full back.

We'll know he's made it when the commentators start referring to him as KKH or Kaine.

[Demitri_C]

Got a good 5 minutes. Hopefully the first of many

[eamonn]

Good to see him given his head. Did he touch the ball? Tidiest haircut/facial-hair combo at the club after Tyrone.

[PeterWithesShin]

Good to see him given his head.

Blimey!

[eamonn]

Isn't that the expression?!

[CT Villan]

Good to see him given his head.

Yes, KKH looked full of spunk* in his brief cameo.


*as the Yanks like to say.

[VILLA MOLE]

Isn't that the expression?!

Yes mate , they are all being smutty you take no notice Lovey 😃

[Brazilian Villain]

Isn't that the expression?!

Well, I got what you meant. If that's any consolation!

[eamonn]

Cheers Moley and BV.

Good god, I hope not. I despise it when they do that with Alexander-Arnold...

[Footy-Vill]

I heard he came on for a short time the other day v Wolves.
Thought he may have been afforded more minutes both the and  since he's been in squads.
Perhaps he'll be utilised with Bournemouth Lille and Arsenal coming up.

[dcdavecollett]

He would have come on late tonight but they had to bring on Kellyman instead.
