Chelsea priced Hector out of a move to us it seems!?. Be interesting to see if anyone else stumps up 4-5 mill for him?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WC1Owl Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Chelsea won't drop their asking price until the last possible minute while there's more than one potential buyer. But the last buyer standing will get this down a bit, and Chelsea will strongly prefer to sell because that asking price (for the January window) is slashed as of 5.01pm. It'll go to the wire because none of the potential buyers have an existential need for another CB. We probably have enough bodies as it stands, even without the Bates interest.

camffiti Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 If the Hector deal is off and Forest are bidding £7mil for McKenna, then I guess that leaves us clear for Bates Would be a shame about Hector though. He's a ready made fit, with a tried & tested partnership with Lees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nevthelodgemoorowl Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Hector must be nonplussed by Chelsea. He should cite Chelsea for playing with his head, move up here and sign a pre-contract in December. He would then pick up any loose change and leave Chelski scratching their arse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In reality it was probably hours ago Forest submitted the bid, seems even on deadline day news obviously isn't leaked completely live. The lads probably boarded a plane back to the uk hours ago but as fans you only hear about things later on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesWalker Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Get the feeling this isn't going to happen. Got to back DC here, if it's not financially right for us then walk away. Shame for Hector as it appears he really enjoyed it with us and would be perfect fit to come back alongside Tom Lees. Bloke has been loaned from pillar to post and first time it looks he's really fit within a team and fanbase falls at the last hurdle. If we don't get this sorted, I hope he goes somewhere. He doesn't seem the type to sit on his backside for year getting paid for nothing. Unless DC using the media (Bates link) to put pressure on Chelsea dropping asking price....

Hector must be fuming - Chelsea effectively pricing him out of a move to ANY club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 5 million is to much to be spunking on Hector. Hope Chelsea comprise but if not sounds like we have others lined up. Possibly would prefer us to sign Bates and then another player with the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigdan2003 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Chelsea have made plenty of money out of Hector through loan fees over the years. Lower your price and let the lad settle down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
