JackSWFC Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 But why would we offer them more than the agreed loan deal, when a loan deal would effectively make him our player? I would also have thought the loan deal would be more expensive than that for this very reason. More like £2-2.5m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichieB Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Or its a loan fee of £3m for example, with the agreement it becomes permanent next summer on a free, Chelsea essentially pocket a "transfer fee" now and don't have to pay Reading anything next summer. Everyone's a winner, well, except Reading. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can only assume they are holding our for as long as possible, hoping someone is gonna come in with a better bid that what we've offered. Although, Hector could/would probably refuse that, knowing full well he wants to be at Hillsboro.. AND, if the twitter post is true, we have agreed a loan deal (hopefully season-long), then Hector can sign a pre-contract with us get him for free.. 'Get him for free' is a nonsense MH would want a little more than a box of chocolates should he sign for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest timrud Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Deal off, no movement on 5m. Chelsea insisting they make a profit on what they paid for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorfolkNChance Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 If that Sazio account is legit then Kenedy is a very good signing for Reading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalthamOwl Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Disappointing it looks like we have missed out on him but 5 million was to much to pay for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quadzilla Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 I can't believe Chelsea would just throw away a couple of mil when he's now going to walk out of door for nothing. He isn't going to get in the team so why keep him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lanzaroteowl Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Pick him up in January for £1M. Great to have him for the run in especially with suspensions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally, in DC it looks like that's a thing of the past. As much as I'd love Hector, we can't be bullied by the PL teams. The attitude of the big clubs stinks and its about time they realised there's a lot more to English football than the Premier League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluesteel Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Chelsea and Hector weren’t flexible enough to make this happen. Is that a season training with the kids then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
