agentwalker Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I got negged to death at the start of the season when I said stick with borner and stop perusing hector. All I got was, "but hector was our player of the season we need to do all we can to get him" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben 10, Wickham, Hector were never our players but people still pine for them like some schoolboy thinking about his first ex girlfriend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StudentOwl Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I'm not just saying this to be contrary... Börner is probably a level above Hector. The bloke is outstanding for a free Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes would’ve loved Hector back but Borner hasn’t put a foot wrong so far and has adapted to Championship life with ease. For me we can use the money saved to invest in other areas I totally agree - I don’t dispute he’s a very good signing He just isn’t as good as Hector Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hirstys_12th_Pint Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Don't think there is much between Hector and Borner overall apart from the price tag. Hector stands out due to his more cultured style, appearance and liking for the ping upfield. Borner just gets on with it and does the unglamorous stuff very well, plus wears black boots. From a value for money perspective Borner is the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But..to be fair we had seen Hector and knew little of Borner..If Borner had turned out like van aken...would you still want Hector...? Having said that...whoever found Borner deserves a pat on the back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest it only underlines the quality and how terrible value for money players are in the English Championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Given the choice of Borner or Hector I'd opt for Hector both cracking players but for me Hector is better going forward and is slightly better all round. Very impressed with Borner though and to say he didn't cost anything we have a real gem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hack-Abusi Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 (edited) Borner is a classic aggressive and physical yet cultured defender Reminds me of the likes of Thome, Walker, Viv etc An absolute steal on a free and wouldn't surprise me if he's made captain or we sell him for something astronomical he is that good Edited October 8, 2019 by Hack-Abusi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulixifer Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 This is a thread about Borner. So far he has been immense. Leading by example a brutal born leader. Comparisons to any of our ex players the thread could do without. Just enjoy him for what he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S1Owl Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 He's class, hard in tackle and good on ball. Can't wait for him to score. Why don't we have flags with pics of players like scouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
