CVByrne Posted January 31, 2022 Share Posted January 31, 2022 26 minutes ago, useless said: From what I can gather in the first half of the season MK Dons had Peter Kioso on loan from Luton, but he's been recalled now, so Kesler-Hayden would be his replacement. Not much difference between top end of League One and most of the Championship, and at MK Dons probably guaranteed first team football more so than at some Championship clubs. Yeah he'd be guaranteed game time and in a team pushing for promotion, they're 4 points off the top. Better off there than in a lower end Championship club. Plus it's much harder to get regular game time as a young defender than say a young CF. So League 1 a good option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Platt Posted January 31, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted January 31, 2022 Higher level than Swindon so will be a good test for the lad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laughable Chimp Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 Would love to see him slowly move up across the leagues. From league 2 to league 1 and then the Championship next season. And once he's cleared all that, he finally gets a crack at the PL with us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfTimePost Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 Was an unused sub in MK Dons' 2-1 win yesterday. They Play 3 at the back with wingbacks the same as Swindon so hopefully he'll slot in well there. (3-5-2 at MK Dons but 3-4-3 at Swindon). Seems like he's going to have to work to win his position there. Tennai Watson is their starter and #2 shirt. Is only 24 and an average rating of 6.7 so is playing pretty well when he plays. For Kesler to dethrone one of their actual own players who is going to start coming into their peak years is going to require him to be on his game. Fortunately Watson has only 14 starts this year and 7 sub appearances (29 games played by Dons) so appears he has had or has an issue with regular football, Kesler going to have to make the most of his opportunity when it comes to get that starting shirt. Must have been some assurances for us to not send him back to Swindon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really dont understand why we loaned him if he is liking to be cover at right back when he could have made great cover for cash Chambers is better at cb than rb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the arsenal fans said he played better at right back than centre back. So to be fair, he is a right back, or a centre back (and capable of DM if needed, if his Fulham loan is anything to go by) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We brought him back, took a look at him, decided to send him out again to a higher level All part of the process and we should trust it, we've put a good team of experienced heads together and this kid must be near the top of our talent list so we wouldn't do anything that wasn't carefully thought through 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 These are quotes published on the official site today from our Academy Manager Mark Harrison... 'Once they’ve had half a season at a club and had that experience of a first loan, if they’re not getting sufficient game time then we can’t let that situation continue.' Bearing that in mind, I doubt we've sent Kesler-Hayden to MK Dons without some sort of assurance that he's going to get game time, they will have convinced us that he's very much in their plans. He's basically replaced Peter Kioso who was on loan from Luton and made eighteen appearances for them before being recalled by Luton in January, so there's obviously space for him in the team, was on the bench on Saturday but he's only just joined so wouldn't read too much into that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hype is, we've got a young player who we've given a 5 year contract to. I think it's the longest contract we've given to a youngster or certainly the longest we could possible give? Not sure, I just remember reading at the time it was unprecedented. He's got a lot of potential and the club are backing him. I am a little surprised they cut the loan short. Personally, I think finishing the season with Swindon and then a loan move to a Championship club next season would have been a better way to go!

He continuously made Gabriel Jesus look like a prized clearing in the woods for 90 mins in a cup game for Swindon last month. He was the best player on the pitch for them and garnered rave review from the City fans. Along with the record contract, as others have mentioned, there's a perfectly good reason for the hype. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 (edited) Maybe, I just think if he was that good he’d already be involved around the first time like Ramsey was and Chuk is. Edited February 7, 2022 by Vive_La_Villa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
