I dont think those moaning about transfer activity understand what a capture this is. Before his injury which he appears to be over all the big boys were sniffing around him.

Has anyone got a more detailed analysis of how he got on? Did Stephens come through okay and Lua Lua?

This.
He was touted as a signing for Man Utd, Arsenal et al before the injury. He's definitely a steal for us.

To be fair a lot of our players have had that in the past. Maksimenko springs to mind as a player that was watched by Arsenal. Also Balmy who didn't even make it with us. The highlights video of Kayal was impressive but then so was Toko's, and we all know where that lead.

Stephens and Kaz pretty anonymous in a dreary first half.
Kayal a cut above. All over the place, always wanting the ball. 4 or 5 lovely through balls and a rocket of a free kick to score.
Au revoir JFC, je pense.

We've been desperate for a player of this sort for all of our time back in the championship. Let's hope the early signs lead onto something special.
This sounds MINT.
Fingers crossed he doesn't go all Hoskins on us. If he doesn't, we're in for a TREAT in next season's promotion campaign.
FFS!
That is knee Sim at his absolute FINEST.
The guy has just had an encouraging 45 minutes against a League Two side's youth team!

This.
Looks like just the kind of midfielder we badly need. Always wanting to get on the ball, and move it *forward* quickly and positively.
I'm hoping he'll get at least half an hour on Saturday.

Needs to be viewed in context, which essentially is a very poor quality game between two squads comprised largely of young players.
The Albion were fairly ineffective for the entire first half (when Kayal was on the bench), and were being outplayed by Wimbledon, albeit without the visitors actually conjuring many chances. Once Kayal came on in the second half, he did what the game had been crying out for, and took control of the match, putting his foot on the ball, retaining it well, and playing some slide rule passes through their defence. Nobody else seemed capable of that.
Was also pleasing to witness him constantly talking to the younger players, encouraging them and telling them where they should be. Not all first team players take that attitude when thrust into a game which is, to a degree, beneath them, so it was good to see, especially for a new guy.

This, he's going to tear League One a new one next season ;-)

As I tweeted yesterday, if we'd signed Kayal at about 10.30 last night instead of last week then everyone would've been spilling their yoghurt, and we wouldn't have had so much grizzling about the "predictable" lack of activity on deadline day.
Really looking forward to Saturday now, I hope we get to see him form the bench at least.
