my favourite club is Chelsea however, I am from Aberdeen and watch a lot of there games. I have just seen on ssn that we are away to sign Michael hector. i'm not sure how well known he is down in England but I can assure you up here in Scotland he is very, very well regarded. not looking at a replacement for terry or cahill or iva but all the same with some good advice and coaches he could be a big surprise.

Care to give us some more info on him? I presume he's a centre back, but what's his age etc?
Cheers mate :)

So it seems from what we've read/heard that we wanted to sign John Stones for £38m and Paul Pogba for £72m. Yet we've ended up with 2 unknown players. Costing us £7m lol. Maybe Roman, Marina, has something up their sleeve!

sure thing Jackson.
he's a young tall defender who has played CB and RB from what I know.
age - 23
height - 6'4"
nationality - English
country represented - Jamaica
he has had as many loan moves as the whole of the Chelsea youth team and has only just established himself at Reading this last year making 41 appearances. I remember him as being quite pacey for a CB and good in the air. he only ever scored one goal in his 6 month stint at Aberdeen but it was a screamer and I was at the game;)he was due to return to Aberdeen but with a severe injury crisis at Reading he returned there, thus missing out on Aberdeens first trophy in several years. He did however travel to Glasgow to watch us win the cup. I don't remember seeing him in the stands but there were 40,000 of us(big deal in Scotland) and actually, I can't remember much of the game because of the drink! if you check his twitter I think you can find tweets from two years ago which highlight that he's a Chelsea fan.
I just had a scout around and interestingly some websites claim he can play CDM.
hope that helps

Not heard of hector but looking through his Twitter account looks like he's a big Chelsea fan so there's at least one plus. Let's hope these players are actually good enough to put pressure on first 11.

This one is bizarre. If you look at his career in lower leagues and loans,at 23 he has certainly not caught the imagination of anyone and given the number of youngsters we have on loan and those knocking on the door of the main squad, you cannot help wondering why we appear to have done what we have recommendation or not. With Papys you can make a decent case of a well considered gamble for little outlay but the indication is we have offered the same money for Hector!

I believe if your not in or around the first team at the age of 23 then your never getting in. Total waste of time signing hector then loaning him back out. Moses signs a contract extension just so his value doesn't go down for when he's sold next season. A very average window for a team that thinks it's good enough to win champions league. Pedro was a good signing but too much squad strengthening instead of improving the first 11.
