By that time scale he should have been fit for start of July and was taking part in pre season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Philb125 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Not sure if it’s been reported but do we have an option to buy the lad if he’s a hit? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southie_Owl Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 (edited) Got a good feeling about this guy, I predict he’ll be a star for us and take us back to the PL, (promised land). Lees, Bates, Borner and Thorniley are great centre back options, I’d put Iorfa at right back to make us extra tall/strong as a defensive unit. Odubajo can do some sprinting up the wing from left back Edited August 9, 2019 by Southie_Owl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence, splashing 5 million on people probably isn't the wisest move, irrespective of how good they are. I agree 100% with everything you said, and didn't try to make a point against Bates, but regarding shift in our ambition. We tried to sign one of two expensive CB's that would certainly improve our starting 11, but in the end settled down for a much cheaper option, and in my opinion one that is some way off Lees's and Borner's level of quality right now. I'm quite sure that whomever seen Hector, McKenna and Bates play would agree that Bates is not as good as former two. Though, I wish he adapts to Championship quickly and proves himself as a great signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basegreenowl Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Might come into a back three if we play a 3-5-2 at any time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hirstys_achilles Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 5 million on Hector was just too much. It's probably a fair valuation nowadays but we don't need to be spending that much at Hector's age with the squad as it is atm. I hope we still get him when his contract ends at Chelsea. I sure hector will be up for returning. He could get better wages with free transfer for out of contract. He would be a good value acquisition on a free and has experience and quality to play in Premier if our aspiration come to the fore eventually. I hope chansiri has had a word in his ear saying this. Bates at 22 years old is another type and age of player we are right to be investing in. Its looking increasingly like our chairman has definitely learnt and with ffp {help??} the recent change in hiring policy is much more aligned to success now and in the future seasons. Importantly on a sustainable basis with or without promotion. Let's just hope bates is any good!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hector was lined up to go to Fulham, he was even hanging round their training ground according to reports. The deal was scuppered as Spurs left the Sessignon deal late and Fulham couldn't get the cash sorted out. I believe it's agreed he's going there in January as it stands.

Things can change in 4 months. He was clearly linked with Fulham, but nothing's done now, so let's wait and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
