That doesn't always follow, as we found out with the stand out 2010/11 centre back Matt Mills. If we still had Sven, Chester would already be on his way to Leicester.

Im glad we have Pearson who isn't willing to overpay
Anyone want to actually talk about Heskey in this thread now?
For the record, i'd drive Chester to Leicester myself for £4m... yes he's awesome but we bought him for £300k, i'm not saying that detracts from his value in anyway, he's easily our best asset taking his age into consideration, but for £4m we could get another easily good enough defender at this level and have millions left over. I agree Chester was way up there with the best defenders in the league last year but 7 teams finished above us last year without him, 3 teams got promoted without him, we can too (and so could Leicester)
to put it simply if Matt Mills is worth £5m this time last year, Chester is worth equal that now. But Mills was never worth that much which everyone should agree with, therfore Chester isn't worth that either. Reading had the best defence in the league last year (conceding 10 less goals than the previous season) despite selling their prize defender.
To lose Chester to anyone would be devastating but hardly the end of the world, we'd only sell him at a ridiculous price that could buy us easily another 2 quality players for this level. In fact knowing this i don't really understand why Nige is after him, but i suppose when you've got the cash you get who you want, not necessarily the who is the most sensibly priced for their ability.
Oh and i hope you sign Heskey, i'm not gonna slag him off (just in case we sign him) but when the best thing about signing a player is his fame rather than his ability/record i'd rather we stay away.
Now **** off from our team, you can't have ANY of them!!!!

Why wouldn't we be able to turn that down? Does he have a release clause in his contract?
James Chester was one of THE stand out defenders of the Championship last season, easily worth a minimum of £5m. The problem you have is your current manager gave Chester that valuation of Chester when he managed us.
He won't be leaving Hull City for Leicester, we have a wealthy board, a better manager, and better foundations for a promotional push next season. Steve Bruce obviously wanted assurances before he started regarding finance for new signings. Money is available, and the board re-iterated we will not be selling our better players. Steve Bruce also maintains our Man Utd connections to take preference on any more starlets
Please don't sign for Hull Heskey, sign for us! There we go
I have backed both Leicester city 8/1 and Hull City 28/1 both to be promoted in a double.
So here's hoping we Both go up.
After all our clubs are not arch rivals are they ?
It's Leeds , Middlesborough and Sheffield Wednesday I would like to see flop ...
We Both have managers capable of taking our clubs forward in my opinion.
How on earth does anyone put Matt Mills and James Chester in the same sentence ? Its like saying King and Messi.
errrrrrrr ... just like you have perhaps?
4th Official is totally bollox. Only fools believe that site. One other problem is that Allams wont sell to Festa City. If your that desperate you can have Paul McShane for £1.5m(the amount NP likes to bid for our players).

No release clause and No Chester wont be going to Festa. IF and its a massive IF Chester does go it will be to a PL club. Festa are just a kid-table championship team with a clueless manager when it comes tactics and know how.
Looks like NP has given up on Chester and now has bid £1.5m for Jason Shackell from Derby County. Surprise Surprise, The bid has been turned down as not big enough. Pearson on the cheap yet again. NP will be Sacked by November.
Agreed. I would not even reply to the call or fax for a peny under £10m. That will show how serious flat top is.
Festa have done well to be that. Why would any player with ambition want to join negative Pearsons shambles ?
Kettle and Pot springs to mind. I bet your tits arev 42 DD eh ?
Told you so.
Curtis Davies is going with Chris Hughton to Norwich City. You can have Zak Whithead for Free as he has been released. Now thats a bargain and affordable for your club.
Ok Ok Ok, you lot win. £80m then and James Chester is yours. Now lets see your ambition.
When you mention NP and Festa to James Chester a finger down the throat motion occurs. Why would any sane person want to go to LCFC ? Go for the cheap options you know it makes sense but you have not realised it yet.
Correct. What will he learn from Pearson ? very very little. He is ambitious you know and wants to play in the PL.
Negative Nigel P. was clueless when it came to Koren and where to play him. Barmby got the best out of Koren and Bruce will buid his team around Robbie K. Chester was in the top 3 centre backs last season and will be the best next season. He wont be rushing to leave with the ambition that has been set out by the owners and new manager.
Yes he was. Bruce and Pallister(gary) were 2 of the best combos in the PL over the years. Look at what they won ?
No, Sven attracted players due to the wages only. You have to pay over the odds as nobody likes Lesta. Bruce will pay a sensible amount and get who he wants. Thats the difference folks.
Dont be too sure. Sadly you lot shall never know that now. HA ha ha ha.
Heskey has signed a 2 year deal for Hull City ive been told. Not that expensive either. Fryatt will be happy now.
