PieFacE Posted August 11, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted August 11, 2016 He was highly rated when Hull were in the Championship. We were linked under Lambert. A new CB pairing is exactly what we needed so I'm all for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reivax_Villa Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 We need a group of model professional players and he is one of them. Pretty concerned about his height though himself and Elphick are similar heights. But i guess if he has a good leap then it shouldn't be a problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LockStockVilla Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 All this chat of Pulis doesn't let good defenders go...bore off. Yes, we got burned in getting Lescott but just because Professor Hoofball is willing to sell a defender does not make them categorically cack.

Gary Thomas Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 4 minutes ago, Gillz said: I've not watched a lot of Chester domestically, but have done when he's been playing for Wales. From his debut against the Dutch a few years ago, to our wonder run in the Euros. He's a solid player, who is comfortable on the ball, will never shy away from a challenge or receiving the ball (he's not the type of player who will point aimlessly when a team mate is looking for a pass). As a defender he is more than competent. Strong in the air, doesn't lunge into tackles and has decent positioning/awareness (helped by playing in a back 3 or at RB) I suppose the best way i can pass judgement on him is the fact that ive only ever seen him out of his depth twice. Once against Hazard, and secondly in the summer against Ronaldo....so after 5 years when we are in the Champions League we can be worried, until then, it will be a good signing. I'm sold - get him in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 So he wants to link up with Steve Bruce again........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROTTERDAM1982 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 How much? After watching The Chuckle Brothers last night, anybody would be an upgrade. Highly rated at Hull, was he at Utd prior to that? Look we cant be too picky, hes experienced, hes willing to play for us, and from what i have seen he knows how to play at CH, so a bonus.

Demitri_C Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 better than all those shower of shite cbs last night get him in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobler Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 (edited) If this is a step towards never seeing Richards or Okore play again then it has to be a hugely positive signing. Edited August 11, 2016 by nobler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Your Round Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Even if he isn't 'technically' a better player than Okore and Richards (he might be for all I know). At least he hasn't been part of the loser mentality that we currently suffer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nnock1984 Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 I'm sure he has made championship team of the year previously so he'd be a great signing. People like Chester, Jedinak, Ledley etc. are what we need Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Richards - very poor, Hutton - Below Average, Lescot - very poor, Okore - struggling for form. Chester at average is therefore an improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In today's market they were never going to sell at a loss. Hes an improvement on Richards and Okore, and most likely Baker so I'm all for it. If he makes us more solid and have a clue on how to defend then it's a no brainer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCU Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 So if we're paying more than £8M for him must mean he's going to be a key player, which I thinks a little unfair on Baker but hey ho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
