I do know if you'd offered me the chance to get rid of Clark and bring him in I'd have been delighted. He's also got to be better than Okore, Richards and Baker just because he has been employed as a professional footballer before. Welcome to the club, James. Can you help us not be so rubbish? Agreed I mean I'll give you a few choices Baker------------Clark Okore-----------Baker Anybody and-------Richards Anybody and-------lescott Richards-------------Lescot (this one took me ages to type I lierally struggled to put these two together in writing) Elphick-------Chester For anyone saying it's too much or he's average. Well average he may be as thats better then our other choices and for 10M it keeps the others out of the side and it's worth it for that alone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 We're building a decent core for the team. Delighted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisvilla4 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Chuffing heck, we are in the championship and have just signed a euro 2016 semi finalist! Welcome James! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nath_s91 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) That twitter account isn't Chester unfortunatley. He only has 1000 followers and they all seem to be villa fans, plus what looks like James Chesters sister has tweeted saying it isn't him Meaning it looks like we're stuck with richards for the time being Edited August 12, 2016 by Nath_s91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 I believe that is a record transfer for a defender in Championship. Two records broken by big Tone in a few weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 (edited) 'One of the best players to grace an Hull shirt, every team should have a player like him in the side' Wonderful signing, wonderful player.

Wainy316 Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 So could we see a back three of Elphwick, Chester, Baker? If we go with that we could have Bacuna (better than Hutton and Richards) and Amavi as wing backs. Could be pretty tasty. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's sort that Right back position. I said it on that day we played Luton, i'd take that Ruddock fella, played as left back against us but is naturally a right back. Had lots of pace and energy. he's actually a midfielder but can play defence as you said https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pelly_Ruddock_Mpanzu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hope we don't go down the unproven/potential route. Basically last few summers we've mostly done that and it's put us here. More proven players like McCormack, Chester and Elphick I'd much rather have. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
handsworthvilla Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Not sure where the £10m figure has come from ... maybe Pulis' comments? Either way, we paid £6.75m. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't quote me but i think the most expensive defender was in the region of £5m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy_Lion Posted August 12, 2016 Share Posted August 12, 2016 Pleased with this, I won't pretend to know a great deal about the lad but what I do know seems positive. More signings like this please and lets start to get rid of the ones that don't want to be here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulis said they'd made £2m profit on him, from a reported £8m purchase. Transfermarkt says they paid £9.6 and we paid £7.9, so that's numberwang. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
