CONFIRMED - Michael Hector to Chelsea

[WoodleyRoyal]

The point of the academy is not just to produce players to get in to the first team, it is also to produce players for resale to keep the club self sufficient. Asking for the funds from the transfer to be put towards a big name striker is not what the academy is about.

[WoodleyRoyal]

Is Appiah still at Palace?, I wouldn`t say no to him coming back here as part of the deal

he did his acl - wont be passing any medicals for a while

[Focher]

Appreciate this may not go down well.

There has been some talk on our message boards that a deal for hector is in the works.
Wondering if
a)Anyone here has heard similar
b)You rate him highly
C) He would command a big fee.

Remember him playing very well against arsenal, but im afraid thats all ive seen of him.

Hi Palacefaninpeace (do you mind if I call you that )

You sound incredibly fit, what are you wearing

[3points]

£5.5m plus Mariappa plus Appiah (when fit); and Murray on loan again if Bournemouth don't buy him by the end of the window

Why not ? Surely you are contradicting yourself ? If you breed your own player in one position that you sell I order to buy a player in a different position that is being self sufficient ....

There are outgoing other than transfers/wages...

Ferdinand has played 3 games since being out for almost a year so makes complete sense to sell our best CB back up!

Cash +Mariappa please...

[Nameless]

Hope we don't answer the phone if it's an 020 number. We're building a team, not dismantling one.

[RustyRoyal]

Oh no Hector's leaving...! What? HITC? Phew...

Did you read the whole article? ...the offer includes him staying on loan for the season! ..why would you want Marriappa?

Stopped reading when it said they are willing to let Mariappa go...

Chelsea join the race according to the EP.

[palacefaninpeace]

Surely hector would join palace over chelsea?
Chelsea would be a very silly move really.

Doubt a deal will be done today, probably in January if it were to happen at all.

[Pepe the Horseman]

Agreed. Would be mental for anyone to choose Chelsea over Palace.

[Winston Smith]

I was surprised the Clinton's didnt choose Palace as a name for their daughter before settling on Chelsea tbh

[genome]

Chelsea signing defender Papy Djilobodji, so hopefully that means they are looking elsewhere.
