Yes, however the club have monitored his progress most of the season
He's gone from a back up cb to been thrust into the first team, and now is a candidate for Halifax player of the year.
He will be signed as a B team defender, but the rate he's progressing it would not surprise me in the slightest if he's around the first team squad come August.
I must add we aren't the only team watching him, still alot to be done.

Terriers look to neighbours for new
centre half
By Alan Nixon
Huddersfield are keen to sign centre half Jesse
Debrah from neighbours Halifax Town.
Debrah starred in the National League after
kick starting his career following a spell at
Millwall as a teenager.
The Terriers want to take Debrah and assess
him before possibly sending him out on
loan.

I almost posted about this lad the other week after watching them play Chesterfield in the play offs. He stood out, looked very comfortable and did a couple of things which made you wonder what he's doing in the conference. Definitely looked worth bringing in as a development project

Definitely looked worth bringing in as a development project There's a difference standing out in a National League game and standing out in a Championship game. OK Thomas has worked out to a certain extent for us but I'm certainly not convinced by this one. |

Definitely looked like one worth taking a gamble on and lets face it that's where we are as a club. Getting one or two of these right every 5 years keeps the club in business |

I don't know, we've just reached The Championship play off final maybe we could be setting our sights a bit higher. |

The guy will be playing with the B team won't effect our first team recruitment.

Good job we didn't sign that Russell fella for the B Team either. Was largely average to poor for Accrington in League 1. No way he could step up with an individualised development plan was there? 😉
Let those who know what they are doing, get on with it.

Whatever level we're at, why wouldn't we be on the lookout for talented players? |

If you're just going to bring in players and shove em all in the B team that's not making an impact of the first team is it? You still need to progress the first team. |

It’s B team signings that I get most excited about. These wildcards are our chance to get promoted if they go very right (like Sorba).
Our first team signings are smart and steady, but it’s the B team graduates which have the potential to push us on a notch.

Yes, because signing a player for the B team really affects the plans for the first team does it? Give it a break, give the guy a chance. He may turn out to be the next Sorba Thomas or Jon Russell. He may not be. Low risk, for high reward. After last season, I think the recruitment team deserve a chance. This (potential) signing, doesn't mean we aren't progressing the first team at all. Does it ever get tiresome being so negative all the time? |

He’d sell for at least 7/8m+, pretty sure that’s a large success given how much we paid, irrespective of if you don’t think he has all the traits. Lay off the booze |

That's how much football transfers have gone totally crazy, no way is he worth those figures quoted. Not sure its me that needs to lay off the booze. |

If you're just going to bring in players and shove em all in the B team that's not making an impact of the first team is it? You still need to progress the first team. Who says that we're not looking for first team ready players as well? Pearson and Lees were first team ready when they arrived last summer. So was Nicholls, we just didn't know it at the time. I would suggest that players for the B Team DO impact the first team. They just don't impact straight away. If Sorba Thomas wasn't already our player, we wouldn't be able to afford to buy him now. If Lewis O'Brien wasn't already our player, we wouldn't have the budget to buy him either. The B Team is absolutely vital for impacting the first team. The only way we are going to be able to afford to push on is by finding undiscovered gems with potential and developing them. Even if we had an owner who made Elon Musk look poverty stricken by comparison, we'd still be wise to look for our own talent to develop. There ain't a club in the world who don't. I suppose the question I'd ask is, who could we realistically afford to sign that you would be happy with? |
