Chester would have resale value too - if we got up, he'd be serviceable. If we didn't, could probably recoup most of a 5m-6m outlay in 2 years time. Villa will need to sell most or all assets and slash wages. Then they'll need players.
Time it right - offer 5m, Tymon and N'Goy on loan?

Percy has linked us with Chester for £10 million.

Percy has linked us with Chester for £10 million. A reasonable price.... if Bruno is worth £20m

Fair enough we'll keep our hands off then watch while Villa go bump. To be fair think we should be going for fringe prem players so not to be giving our rivals any cash so they can compete with us. Or ... we could simply steal the best players off of our rivals, so they have to look elsewhere.

Really? Age on his side? He is 29. Peak age for a centre half is that...... Hardly got age on his side though. In 2-3 years he will be worth a fraction of the rumoured £10 million.

Suppose the only hope we'd have on pipping Brighton to Chester is geography, and the fact he's a northern boy who's never played south of Birmingham (and the fact he's mates with Allen)?

Couldn't really moan for 500k, I feel however, this is another instance where we'll be taken advantage of. 500k for the best defender in the championship last season, I don’t think so. We've been fleeced so many times, its hard not to have that reaction! Pls don't give him a 5 year deal tho!

I love this. We're going through all of the best teams in the division and taking their best players, systematically weakening everybody around us.

Didn’t realise he was that old. Only niggling doubt is that didn’t Pulis have him and let him go. Say what you want about Tone but he knows a centre half and wouldn’t let a decent one slip through his fingers

Chester is wank and for £10million it's a fucking piss take.
We're building a side that may go up but would be certainties for relegation in the PL. We'd have to 'go again' if we get promoted.

Careful of headrush moment Stoke. Chester @ 10m??? I would like Chester, he'd be good... but if he is worth 10m, then what should be asking for Bruno?
Bruno is younger, proven to better in the PL, an international...?
Could we also not be a bit strategic about this? Villa will need to lower their wages and cash in all their assets. After they've done that, they've still got to field a team, so will be looking for decent younger (cheaper) players I'd imagine...
So, would Villa not be obliged to take, say, 6m + Souttar + loans e.g. Imbula on loan (wages part subsidised, but our chance to see if he can cut it)? Helps us in several ways. Help them too.

I'm boring myself here.
Premier league price - championship player 4m absolute tops.
10m for chester makes Wimmer for 18m look a canny punt.
Better out there, younger for fewer £££

So what do you want us to do, build a Premiership side whilst we're in the Championship? N-O-T G-O-I-N-G T-O H-A-P-P-E-N. Let's build a side specifically to get us promoted and then worry about what to do about staying there, once we've, erm ... actually got there. You know, like what Wolves are doing.

Better out there, younger for fewer £££ Not sure about that. readwestbrom.com/2015/07/29/james-chester-a-hull-fans-view/They absolutely loved him at Hull. WBA paid £8m. Villa paid £8m, and he's done very well for them and is pretty much considered to be one of the top 3-4 defenders in the league. If we have to pay a couple of million premium, we're fortunate to be be in a position where we can afford to. His age doesn't bother me at all. In fact, it's a positive as he's been around the block and is proven over course and distance in that league, which is not for everyone.

If we pay £10million for James Chester we want fucking with a rusty spoon. We paid what 7-8mill for bmi? He might well be on his way (I hope not) but just putting it into context. I know we’ve got money but Jesus Christ.
