lapal_fan Posted December 20, 2019 Share Posted December 20, 2019 That article is really touching. Always liked Chester, pretty solid and he seems like a very decent chap. Hope he can get a few apps before the season is out All the best Chezzy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's the antithesis of the modern footballer in my books, genuine person wio put his body on the line for us. Zero arrogance, too man. And an accomplished defender to boot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted December 21, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted December 21, 2019 We might need him now. We need a leader. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 A fully fit Chester would be an automatic starter for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I can see him being involved v Norwich. Issues are I doubt his knee will hold up to premier league intensity. It's completely different playing a bunch of kids in league cup. Another is for all his good games for us he's never struck me as a number one CB. One that heads it away, kicks it away and generally has an air of authority about him. JC's best games for us have always been alongside a Baker or John Terry type who can head it away all game long and Chester will drop off and sweep up behind. Can't see him being a good combination with any of the others bar Mings who fits that number one CB bill. Expecting him to come in and our defence to start keeping clean sheets again is asking a bit too much I think but gambles usually happen in desperate times and we're at that point now.

I don’t have a problem with any of our CB’s as individual players but other than Mings, I don’t see any leadership or drive. I’m not convinced his fitness is good for 90 minutes in PL though as yet and you wouldn’t generally start a CB you don’t expect to see out 90 minutes. Expect he plays in the FA Cup next.

villalad21 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 I'd fancy a Chester - Mings partnership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Come on lads. I love Chester for what he has done for the club but he looked absolutely shot against Liverpool's kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No not for me, I think providing we don't leave ourselves short we should accept any offer that comes in for him in Jan or just release him let him go off as a free agent. He'd improve a lot of mid to low table championship clubs, and I'm sure he will still have Wales ambitions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted December 31, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted December 31, 2019 Chester in with Konsa would be my choice. Only if Chester is ok obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Shame to see Chester not getting any love but he was our man of the match yesterday, he looked extremely composed on the ball and he didn't put a foot wrong defensively and made it look effortless. Looked a lot more competent than Engels next to him. Nice to see him back in the shirt and playing well.

Nigel Posted January 5, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted January 5, 2020 I think Chester in the centre of a 3 would work well. He would also offer a lot from set peices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Willard Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Move Mings to LCB and play Chester sweeper, that could work. Really disliking how much change we are doing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 There's a time and day for everyone. I respect Chester more than any other Villa player I can remember in recent times. A true professional, but I don't think he's PL quality anymore, if he ever was. If he moves on, best of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
