poite Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Great when we had him. No idea what he's like now though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DoesJackHunt Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Won our player of the season when we had him on loan. I personally would love him back here but he’s better than league one and would be a quality addition for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamworthowl Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Two good seasons and he’s approaching the end of his career. Good at Reading earned a transfer to Chelsea where he never played. Loaned to Hull, so-so. Loaned to Wednesday: probably his best season. A colossus. Would have got a permanent move but Fulham came in with parachute subsidised wages. 6 months on his backside whilst Fulham and Chelsea argued over a fee then a January move. Three and a half seasons at Fulham (or is it four and a half?)spent almost entirely or out the squad, never mind the first 11. Now looking for a job. Might be the signing of the season if he finds his “Wednesday” form. But that was a while ago and he’s done nothing since: big big risk especially if on big money.

Nero Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 To be fair to Hector. he was loaned out all over the place by Chelsea. He himself said he wanted to settle and did want to come here. But it turned out to be Fulham and at least he got his wish to be settled for a while and played a major part in getting them promoted. I dont think it is a big risk personally. His injuries weren't major. He is a top quality championship defender, has plenty of years in him. Great in the air, good organiser and good on the ball. Yes got a mistake in him but when he was here he was really good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Soul Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 The definition of the perfect championship defender. sadly got found out in the Premiership hence little game time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEnchanter Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 He was good for us but that was 4 years ago and he's hardly played since. I don't think any fans can comment in the current Michael Hector other than Fulham and they haven't seen him play much over 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pulcinella Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Wickham was good for us first time round. Means nothing when someone returns having played little in the meantime. Here's hoping our scouts are good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZicoSterland2 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 Good player on his day but worrying he hasn't played for 3 seasons. Probably tell you he loves the club, plenty of badge kissing then go when a better offer comes in. To be fair that is the nature of the game now. Players grab the money rather than guaranteed time on the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davetherivelinowl Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 I'm surprised no-one's mentioned that an analysis of matchday ratings by Owlstalk members showed that he got a higher average rating than any player we've had in the last 10 years. By that measure he wasn't just the best player that season but the best of the last decade - better than Bannan, Forestieri, Joao, Lees, Hooper, Fletcher etc While he was here he had all the qualities you'd hope for - quick, good in the air, good distribution. He always struck me as someone who wasn't a 'warrior' type character - a footballing centre-half rather than one for the trenches. But that was one season, 4 years ago.
