He can also play DM:

‘He made his Aldershot debut in central midfield in the FA Cup second round tie against Fleetwood Town on 1 December.’

Europe will be ours.

Snarf added some much needed emotional balance to the show. 

 

Lion-O especially in the early seasons would have made a lot of ill judged decisions without the more cautious Snarf.

Which would have made for more exciting cartoons. Little miserable spoilsport ruined it.

Someone load up football manager and manage him, see how he does.

Papy is quite good on Fifa, even grows to 83 overall in my save

He's a Chelsea fan ..

 

 

 

Time to get some new wallpaper Michael

Can't do any worse than Ivan and Cahil based on this season's performances..Lol

Would understand if he was 18/19 but 23 and he's not even a regular for Reading? Hard to understand really.

So am I. Can I play in midfield? I'll have the number 7 shirt if that's okay.

I think Rami would take issue with that mate.

is this another comedic signing like the lad from France?  then loaned straight back, perhaps the Board are going for the Guinness book of records for most loanees in global football

 

neither one of these CBs look like a Jose 'pick' and we all know what happens when TSO is left out of critical decisions,

he has a propensity to exit the proceedings

The window can't close soon enough. Before we know it Plymouth Argyle's third choice DM is next on our list.

The more you think about Papy and Hector the more bizarre these signings are. wtf are we doing?

Don't blame Cahill, he's had no support and has a broken face that he keeps making worse every single time he goes out there.  

Getting that deja vu sensation of back when we signed Sidwell and Ben Haim.

This feels like a signing Arsenal would make

Only if you do a Soccer AM style skill school face of with Rami and Mikel. Winner stays, losers get sent to Liverpool. 

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. 

The only thing that makes sense here is if the board thinks in a few years he'll be worth more and be catching the eye of a Spurs or an Aston Villa or someone, and so they sign him now for £4m and loan him back to Reading to continue as he was for a few years, then when the Spurs comes along, it's us they need to pay £10m to instead of Reading.

 

Which, considering we already had 30 players out on loan for that purpose, and considering we're probably talking about at best an extra 5-6m above what we paid, seems like a ridiculous way to invest money. Surely we aren't that desperate?

It's like we are the Chelsea of a parallel universe.

Feels very surreal.

Thanks for posting. Helpful insight.

oh dear the last time we signed an underwhelming player from reading it was jose's last season

 

 

How has he been this season?

Manager Steve Clarke dropped Hector from Reading’s starting XI after the opening day defeat at Birmingham. During that game he allowed Blues striker Clayton Donaldson to drag him out of position with relative ease and made a crucial mistake in the build-up to Birmingham’s second goal - trying to take the ball down on the touchline rather than kicking to touch, he trod on the ball and allowed Donaldson to cross for Jon Toral.

He would later be turned by Demarai Gray on the edge of the box when becoming disorientated as to whether he was supposed to be tracking another runner.

Paul McShane and Anton Ferdinand are now preferred, with Clarke using him as a late substitute since to shore games up.

 

At least we haven't bought him purely based on a strong start to the season.

 I want the number 7 shirt, i am the Messiah and so's my wife.

 

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