prowl Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 I wasn't particularly impressed with Hector under Jos. He was excellent after he left. To be fair most were rubbish under Jos particularly the defence. I'd be glad if Hector came back but if he doesn't we will get by one way or another. I don't see why we should over pay Chelsea for him on the back of one good half season over the last few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That could work, Iorfa never looked comfortable defending at right back, so that might be a solution Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think Chelsea would need us to over pay, Ive seen the a figure of 3m suggested, which is a fair price for a player who was one of the best centre backs in the championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Iorfa is rcb and the German lad is lcb, who plays in the middle because Lees is nowhere near good enough a footballer to play there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equally, Hector is comfortable on the left, and him and Lees were a decent pairing, so I’d be happy with them as starters. Whatever happens, Lees needs some competition for that right sided centre back role It could be Iorfa, but again, I’ve no idea what he is like at centre back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest wilyfox Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 If we have to wheel & deal, I'd sell Lees to finance Hector. He's the better player, more versatile, and offers more combination possibilities than Lees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether we'd find anyone willing to offer enough for Lees to allow us to sign Hector, I'm not so sure. I suspect any decent fees we recoup this summer are going to come from elsewhere in the squad.

Rogers Posted June 15, 2019 Share Posted June 15, 2019 The German, if he signs, is from the 2nd division in Germany, he’s not an automatic choice IMO (awaits the chat about how good the German 2nd division is - Jos gets work there, so it’s not) Lees shouldn’t be sold.

I understand this, but I suppose, as was pointed out to me, there are enough players we can sell without selling our better players Of course, others have to want the players we might like to sell, but I’m sure there would be takers for Rhodes and Winnall, at the right price. Likewise, Van Aken, and even Pelupessy, are well thought of in their native Holland. We may not get our money back on any of them, but we surely could raise enough to bring back Hector.

If we could sell some of our less-fancied players instead, then that would be preferable, of course. As I said, I don't want to sell Lees, but if faced with a situation where we had a sizeable offer on the table for him which we knew would facilitate a move for Hector, well I know what I'd do.

I agree, I wouldn't advocate selling Lees but with Borner coming in, Thornily and Van Aken on the payroll along with Iorfa declaring a preference to play at CB, can't see Hector deal being concluded unfortunately. Unless we go 3 at the back, but considering our lack of wing backs, would think Hector and a full compliment of starting, cover wing backs would be difficult to manage on a budget. Also, where would that leave Palmer and the reported Bidwell interest neither of which are wing backs. Only Odubajo would fit that criteria for me.
