I believe we are still "working closely" with the EFL. A soft embargo by another name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be very surprised if we're not already under a soft embargo. Hopefully were working with the EFL but I can't see any incomings until we've determined which out of contract players will be offered new deals & also sold 1 or 2 in contract players. Even then depending on how much we've bust P&S limits this season we might still end up under a hard embargo & or points deduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also teams with parachute payments will be in the driving seat. Fulham will be a possible destination imo. Biggest worry for me is that he ends up at the Bay of Pigs next season given that the Porcine Scrubbers are on the verge of going up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very possible. They'll have the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hirstys_12th_Pint Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Player of the season but unfortunately think the financials will not allow us to have Hector next season. Believe he only has one year left on his contract so suspect Chelsea will want to sell as opposed to loan. Pity really as he is like 2 players due to the effect he has on Tom Lees performances as well as his own. Top fella as well and seems to have a great impact on his team mates if his Instagram stories are anything to go by. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markg Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Hope we can keep him but if not I trust that Bruce will manage to find a suitable replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beauchief Owl Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 Our past spending follies have put us in a position whereby we are unlikely to sign up Hector. To put it another way, spending 4 million on Van Aken, for example, has probably done for us being able to afford this much better CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZicoSterland2 Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 If we have 4 million to spend I think other areas need addressing before we spend it all on one defender. We still need pace on the wings and central midfield cover for Hutch. Good though he is I dont think are whole budget would be spent on Hector.Loan is very doubtful as his contract with Chelsea is up in 2020. Think Thorniley could be a major player next season and there may well be decent centre halves released at seasons end to back up the squad.

sweetsheri Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 To think clueless trawled 200 centre halves and came up with Van Aken as the best. Then proceeded to pay a reported £4m Staggering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our best hope would be to sell back to a dutch side if we can find one. Whatever happens it will be a financial loss. Worse than that it cost us the opportunity to purchase Vernacio who was far superior and half the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swfc-dan Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 With a different manager I wouldn't think we have much chance. But under Bruce I'm quietly confident we'll find a way, whether it's through selling another player or as another season long loan. It seems Hec loves it here so we have a strong chance of getting him back, lets hope finances allow it as we desperately need him. If it isn't possible though I have confidence Bruce will find an alternative, even if not quite the same level. He knows what we need so maybe he'll surprise us signing an upcoming player from a smaller club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
