Holmowl Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 3 minutes ago, Jamie_W said: How do we know there will be no resale value? £5m is lots for us but nothing for most clubs, Hector was immense last year and could probably do a job if we got promoted. I could easily see someone bigger than us taking him off our hands in a couple of years when he’s had a more consistent run. Exactly. I don’t understand that either. If he plays 40 games in a successful Wednesday, scoring 5 or 6 along the way, surely he becomes a £10m player. I’d love to see us having Hec, Lees and Borner available to us. That’s a key area of the pitch sorted, and how. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a key area of the pitch sorted, and how. Agree with this entirely, most top clubs have 3/4 top CB’s on their books. Championship is a gruelling league and Hector can play left or right as well as in a three or in midfield at a push. Plenty of game time to share around. It does mean that those that were previously in reserve need shifting though, either on loan or in a permanent deals. JvA & Thornely should go out as Big Dom can play RB as well. That leaves us with Dom, Lees, Hector and Borner - best we’ve had in years at CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gurujuan Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 There probably won’t be much resale value with Hector, but he is a rock, and the type of player we need to shore things up at the back. It’s probably the main area, where it is better to have an experienced player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcmigo Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Would be a great signing. Lovely footballer. If we can loan out Van aken to maybe a USA team or back to Holland we should do. We Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sonny Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 7 hours ago, gurujuan said: Reading, who like us have just come out of a soft embargo, are certainly splashing the cash. £7m for Joao, and now they’ve agreed to sign him a strike partner, Puskas from Inter, for £8m Perhaps we shouldn’t be worrying too much about spending £3m on Hector Maybe we should make sensible decisions based on our own accounts not Reading’s. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night King Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 He’s only 27. Somewhere between 3&5 million will be very good value. There’s definitely some re-sale value too. Just look at how much Webster & Flint have gone for this summer. One very good season and if we’re near the top 10 he’ll be worth double next summer.

IWEDFM Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 I hope we sign him but not for £5m We could really do with strengthening a few areas not just CD where we are already well covered Still think we need another winger. Eze at QPR would be a good option and if Rhodes leaves then maybe Wells from Burnley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 3 hours ago, vulture_squadron said: Hope it's not £5m. That's big money for us and great as Hector is, there'll be no resale value. Just look at the Rhodes and Abdi scenarios. That £5m needs spending on an asset. Look at Spurs, potentially selling Eriksen at 27 years old, to buy Fernandes for the same money, aged 23. We should have a young player lined up that can make us money, as Joao has done. Ideally but that is easier said than done. Most important thing for us is to get promoted and hector gives us a better chance of this. If we are to reinvest in an asset we could easily sign another van aken.

Eze at QPR would be a good option and if Rhodes leaves then maybe Wells from Burnley QPR recently quoted somebody £12m when they enquired about Eze, so that rules us out Reading, on the other hand.........

Guest gizowl Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Some fans really need to think, Joao has gone to Reading for 5mill roughly,but the initial outlay is only about 1mill,they may have another installment in their financial year of possibly another 1mill. Same with any other signings they make fees will be paid off over the length of the players contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wattagit Posted August 7, 2019 Share Posted August 7, 2019 Even at 5 million for big Hec on a 5 yr deal that would only be 1 mill a year towards financial fair play as it was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
