FWIW, as I said, info for me is very quiet currently apart from when I get chance to speak to my mate and I haven't spoken to him about Kelly since the Summer, but I quoted my post as I was told in the Summer we would look at him again in Jan as he was very keen on joining us.

Eight at the back? That's pretty novel.

Nah, Porro is a tough little sod and a solid build whereas KWP has the physique of a teenage lad. They may be similar heights, although I think Porro is the taller but that's where any comparison ends.
I know which one I'd fancy myself in a fight against.
I woould beat the shit out of them both. At the same time even. But I`d rather keep Porro healthy and playing, we have enough injuries, don`t we...? Would be nice to have our first 11 playing ogether againNah, Porro is a tough little sod and a solid build whereas KWP has the physique of a teenage lad.

It’s his injury record that really worries me. Also the kind of injuries very likely under Ange.

Can someone please comment seriously on how good he is and how he compares to others. Never been in a senior England squad. Perhaps injury prone. Perhaps some Bournemouth fans not that bothered about him? Would genuinely like to read people's ratings.

I think the best I could do would be to say that I reckon if we signed him that he would be what Ben Davies has been over his career at Spurs and never let us down at either LB or CB, specifically under this manager/system. He’s nothing like Davies as a player but I feel his strengths in being quite quick and being pretty good on the ball would be well suited to Ange’s system in either position. Us being linked to him doesn’t scream to me as a stroke of genius or anything but I can see why we would be interested in him as a squad player considering all those things, along with him likely being cheap and home grown. Every signing has risk attached but I’d be surprised if taking everything into account that if we signed him it wouldn’t turn out to be smart business.

At least his hamstring has had plenty of time to heal up since 2021.

I always said Lloyd Kelly was my preferred choice and definitely think he’s the best option and Dragusin is now dead to me until it’s back on again and then he’s my preferred choice.

Good to see someone has an eye for the details here!!!
Hypermobility issues?
Does he have lapses in concentration during set pieces?
There is a connection here

this is worth a read in the Cherries forum, however most talk is about him returning from injury AND him being out of contract in June so not a lot about his qualities. (not in the pages I scanned anyway)

I’m intrigued to know the identity of anyone who has done well there in, say, the last three years. Rashford and Luke Shaw perhaps, and probably Bruno Fernandes. Everyone else seems to have got worse. Reckon all 3 quoted have got worse though this season! Must be mad to sign for United
