He was alright, I've seen him play much better recently. Lost possession a few times.

Alright chaps, thought I'd drop in. I am not sure why it's taken until the last few months for the club to figure it out, but Big Hec has the makings of an outstanding defensive midfielder. He's been superb in the role for the last couple of months and can easily do a job there in the Premier League. Whether it's for you or not, I don't know. I'd like to think you would give him a chance there. I'm sure he will feature against Palace in that role on the TV on Friday night, so you'll have a chance to check it out. Of course, now I've said that, he'll have a shocker.

He looks delighted.

Chelsea fans you might not want to watch from 1:10 onwards. :P

I seriously doubt Chelsea have the first team in mind straight away. I also wouldn't pay too much attention to the fact he's 23, the rate he's come on in the last two years is pretty impressive, he's a late bloomer. I certainly think he has the attributes to be a top quality defender, but it's just Chelsea seems like the deep end and he's not ready for it. He needs another season with us (looking like part of the deal) or a season with a bottom half Premier League side.

Hard to say for sure as I am not familiar with Omeruo and Kalas was injured and didn't have a full season.

He does have potential to be a very good Premier League defender but I feel like he is skipping a stepping stone by going to Chelsea. I can only assume he'll be either loaned back to us or to another Premier League side to get some experience before having a go at the first team with you (I hope). I can't imagine this is a first team signing.

He's our 3rd choice centre back behind McShane and Ferdinand at the moment. He's a good player but was put somewhat in the shop window by an excellent performance at Wembley against Arsenal in the FA Cup Semi Final which I think has made him seem better than he actually is. He's tall, strong, but has a mistake in him. I'll be gutted to see him go for Reading's sake, but I can't see why Chelsea are signing him...
