CONFIRMED - Michael Hector to Chelsea

[TBM]

There must be someone to come in otherwise we are desperately short of Ferdinand or mcshane get injured

We have Cooper and Hector will be loaned back for the season....so until next summer, it won't matter

[allwite]

Am I the only one who thinks £4m is a poor fee for someone who has just signed a 3 year extension?
Given the quality he showed last season, I would have hoped for £6m

so i hear that we will sign vydra permanently if we sell hector

[Blue&White Mage]

Didn't mings go for 8 mill + add ons, 4 for our vc and full intnational seems a bad deal even if there is add ons.

I take it you haven't read the previous posts on both these threads, in that case....

...yes you are the only one who thinks £4m is a poor fee.

not hard really is it 'THE GUY SEEN IN THE HOTEL LOOKED LIKE THE WYCOMBE cb'

[P!ssed Off]

I'm sure £4m is just the upfront fee

Based on appearances etc i reckon it could rise to double that.....also with a decent sell on % whacked on

100 quid per league cup appearance.
We'll be rolling in it.

Not true if you look in the hector thread or twitter. Its a bad deal.

[SCIAG]

This makes no sense. They just signed a 26 year old centre back for about £4m, and they already have plenty of options. Why sign a defender who is unlikely to ever be good enough for them?

£4m is probably fair based on his ability, but I'm surprised we'd let him go for that.

(Fun fact: John Stones made his England debut at 20. Michael Hector was playing for Shrewsbury at 20)

[Hoop Blah]

£4m for a 23 year old player who's only really played one season in the Championship, and that was that saw his side flirting with relegation and gifting the opposition far too many soft goals, is a pretty good price if you ask me.

All this talk of great potential, he's 23 and still get in the side ahead of Anton Ferdinand and Paul McShane. I hate the think what the reaction would be were we bidding that kind of money on a player with those credentials.

I can't for the life of me figure out why Chelsea are even considering it to be honest.

[Samrfc01]

Does this include them loaning him back to us?

We'll be desperately short at CB if not....

[Zammo]

When Ferdinand inevitably breaks down in the next couple of weeks we'll be short of CB cover. What drives me nuts about these type of signings is that we all know that Hector has absolutely no chance of playing for the Chelsea first team......an utter waste of his footballing career.

[blueroyals]

£4m - feel like we've been robbed

That said, if it allows us to strengthen up front then it's probably the right thing to do

what the actual fcuk was I doing there. I should have looked up before hitting submit.

[sandman]

Mourinho is just the gift that keeps on giving this season. £4 million for Hector

[WoodleyRoyal]

apparently he had a 4mill release clause
