На кой чёрт он тебе...

Как бы вы это перевели?
Спасибо

— Знаешь что? — надумал Виоланский. — Снесем-ка Дергачову альбом! На кой чёрт он тебе сдался? Ей-богу! Даст три целковых — и будет с нас!

Yes, "... он тебе сдался" = "... you need it" with negative accent, but only in this particular case - it's something like a vernacular idiom. The whole speech is rather vernacular.
