Chelsea are closing in on a shock £4.5million deal for Reading centre-back Michael Hector after gazumping Crystal Palace to his signature.
Crystal Palace had registered an interest in the Jamaica international on Tuesday morning; but the Barclays Premier League champions have launched a late move for the 24-year-old after Chelsea technical director Michael Emenalo scouted him in recent weeks.
"Good things come out of the garrisons" after his daughter won the 100m Gold For Jamaica.
"It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.
Great news for Hector! Still think he is a great talent.
Still, I cannot understand Mourinho and his chasing central defenders. He has two excellent young central defenders in Tomas Kalas and Andreas Christansen. He sent both out on loan, then was prepared to pay over the top for John Stones.
Let's see how Hector will feature in all of this down the road. From what I have been reading, he may be going back on loan to Reading for the remainder of the season.

Don't let negative things break you, instead let it be your strength, your reason for growth. Life is for living and I won't spend my life feeling cheated and downtrodden.
Good player...very good player with potential to be as good as the player he reminds me of
...Rio Ferdinand. Think he has the potential to be as good as Rio was at his best.

"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has."
The 23-year-old centre-back, who has signed a five-year-contract, will return to Reading and spend the remainder of this season on loan at the Madejski Stadium.

Still cannot figet you calling the man a clut. Outa orda!

Oooh! So this was the Chelsea signing of the Jamaica player we were hearing about.
But Leon Bailey and Michael Hector...how can anyone mix up those names!?
Good for Hector. He showed tremendous potential and ability in the recent Copa and Gold Cup tournaments, growing from strength to strength (minus that final).

Let's hope he has some Gold Cup final flashbacks when dem play LFC and fork it up like he did on those two goals. Joke you hear Michael...good luck my youth. (but if you are going to fork up, fork up against LFC...jes saying).
X DESCRIBES HIMSELF - Stop masquerading as if you have the clubs interest at heart, you are a fraud, always was and always will be in any and every thing that you present...
It should be interesting to see how things pan out in the future. Chelsea will have the following central defenders for the future.
Andreas Christensen (19)
Thomas Kalas (22)
Kurt Zouma (20)
Michael Hector (23)
These are four good young talent I expect to see marshalling the chelsea central defense in the near future. Anyone forgot Christensen when he played for Chelsea against Liverpool how he handled Suarez and Sturridge? I expect big things from that boy. That is why I could not understand wanting to do like ManUre and pay over the top for a John Stones.
