Blatter Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Can be very casual on the ball. We should know how to exploit that. He won’t like big Dave coming at him in the last 20 minutes if all else fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest timrud Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 The issue was us agreeing a fee with Chelsea, not his wages. Great player for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Concrete Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Personally I am gutted we didn't keep him, think him and Iorfa would have made a great partnership at back. O well guess we wait till next season when Van Aken shows us why he was number 1 of the 200 centre half's we looked at.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash77 Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Would be good next to iorfa as he lacks pace but iorfa far better option all round and pound for pound imo. Iorfa shows that better managers who cost more can make more, on top of getting better results too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gurujuan Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 The centre of our defence is porous, despite Iorfa. It wasn’t when we had Hector, he dominated opponents in the way none of them do now Nobody can argue that we weren’t more secure at the back when we had Hector 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hector had his off days just like Iorfa, very similar players for me and certainly couldn't justify spending around £6M on a player with 6 months left on his contract if fans want us to be a better run club financially.

I’ve seen him place numerous misplaced passes, get caught on the ball and even carelessly give away corners. Iorfa has rescued us on many occasions. The odd lapse in concentration but that’ll improve with experience A Hector - Iorfa back 2 would be so good Edited July 18, 2020 by FreshOwl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a very good player, but let's not embellish his record here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyowl Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Reading these comments, how bitter are some of you! He was excellent for us. Fulham paid £5million for him and he must be on £30k a week at least, but that's what you have to pay for one of best center backs in division Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@owlstalk Posted July 18, 2020 Author Share Posted July 18, 2020 He starts today I think he's a magnificent footballer One of the very best defenders in the Championship Absolute class player 1 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear to god our fans can’t spot a good player. We called Brunt lazy, said Antonio wasn’t good enough and now a few in here saying Hector wasn’t all that. Better than all our central defenders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prowl Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 He was outside our price range, that's life. We should always try for an option to buy clause when loaning players. At least then we have a reasonable chance of affording a player if he comes good here. Hector was nothing special before he came here, I bet we could have got him for a couple of million at the time. He just blossomed with us for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young players being handed life on a plate without actually achieving anything..... Exactly what Monk alluded to yesterday. Iorfa for 200k & Börner for fûck all...I know what I’d rather have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Night-Owl Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 We could do with a similar player to Hector but more affordable to partner Iorfa. Hector looked good during his time here on loan, Iorfa as looked good too, we could do with a bit more physicality in the team next season but in the long run Iorfa will prove to be a rare astute signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
