I like Borner, I hope he will turn out to be a good signing, but of late, he’s looked truly dreadful Let's see where is and Fulham end up. one teams if is full of over aged joyrneymen, free agents, youth players and loans. the other has been assembled with not shy of £100m . if we finish in the same half of the table as Fulham we will have done well. Had they a decent manager they would have been top of the table by now. Borner is a good players, as is Iorfa and quite a few of the team. our problem is the useless chairman and manager we have that couldn't run a bath between them without flooding the house.

Bluesteel Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Chelsea wanted 5m quid for a player with a year left. We were willing to pay that and presumably so were fulham. But winning the award here last season hiked hectors wage demands above anyone else at the club at a time when we want a wage structure in place. All those videos about him wanting to stay was all about painting the club into a corner. Really dissapointing but not surprising and I am glad the club stood firm on it, as good as he is.

Good player but wasn’t worth anywhere near that amount of money with 12 months left on his deal. I think he sadly was worth 5million, hes a player for a squad pushing for automatic promotion and if we'd of signed him it would have been the death of us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sMacLean Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Possibly the worst distribution for a CB next to Tom Lees. Done nothing with his career. Glad we didn't spend to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Hector was great for us at this level and would have been an asset. 27 is a fantastic age and £5M is a decent price for a player of that quality. If we could have afforded him I think we should have bought him. There's the rub though, we can't afford him. It's no good wishing for what we can't have, just buy the best we can afford and go from there. Maybe when we get rid of the big earners in the summer we can move from the bargain bin at Lidl to Tesco own brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would have been useful launcher of attacks, now we have a bit of pace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just had a thought, i wonder if that's why Borner is a little slow on the turn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhubarb n Custard Posted April 12, 2020 Share Posted April 12, 2020 The chance to take him came at the wrong time for us unfortunately. Staggering we could have had 2 x Hector type signings for the money that went on JR. Hindsight is always 20 - 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
