Shocking decision if we do sign him another over the hill mercenary is exactly what we don't need. Why is he a mercenary? It doesn't sound like he's holding any club to ransom?

He was pretty shocking but my hope is in these few weeks going into the new season Mr O’Neill has the chance to work with the likes of Chester to get them performing like he can. It’s a vital period until the new season and we should be prepared to put last season behind us and give the players the chance to show what they’re capable of.

He’s been gash, but we shopping in the bargain bucket with another on a free , can see 12th -15th place finish with this shower We already own 4 better centre halves

Well then you lose McClean. As I said, I think it's very hard to play three at the back and start Fox and McClean. He could always play Powell wide right? I wouldn't, but it isn't impossible that you could have a system with McClean, Powell and Fox in it. The truth is, outside of a firefighting situation, we don't actually know what O'Neill wants and how he is going to set up a side for a very different purpose. He wants 4-3-3, or at least near everything has pointed to that. Re the signing it was obvious it was going to happen, it was never in doubt.

Why was it obvious it was obvious to most that Chester is a has been, slow, old and cost us valuable points why would we even consider signing him he's another Ward, terrible decision all part of the process.

How was it not obvious, we aren't spending and the manager clearly likes him, I'm not saying I like it but it was always going to happen.

Hes fucking useless.
Anyone noticed how he never attacks the ball? Always leaves it for Baath or Shawcross to go and win the first header, and pretends to be the defender that drops in to cover.
Although he never actually manages to cover if the first defender doesnt win the ball.
I would hate playing next to him as a central defender. It means playing as 1 at the back most of the time

Initial 1 year is sensible enough. Mind you I'm not enthusiastic either way.

Good player. You’re just pissed off because he’s keeping out your hero Collins.

Had a nightmare against Leeds but did well in the final games after that I thought and MON obviously trusts him. Don’t think he’s anywhere near as bad as gets claimed on here.
With our FFP issues and Ryan’s major injury problems, this is a reasonable move IMO.

Hopefully he is back up to an aging and injury prone Shawcross

Solid deal for the club. Good pro, great experience. Our record with him in the team was solid, barring a few shockers. Stop gap while Collins matures into his own and becomes ready to take the position for himself later this season or early next.

That Leeds cameo was absolutely embarrassing. Subbed on to solidify the defence only to concede 4. I'm not convinced he's any good either but we'll just have to hope we get the Aston Villa promotion version rather than the one that came in 6 months ago. Who would you start alongside Collins in the likelihood Ryan isn't fit?

Good player. You’re just pissed off because he’s keeping out your hero Collins. Nope. He’s about the worst centre back we’ve had in the last 10 years.

He clearly has been a top, top Championship defender.
Don't know if he can get to that level again - probably not due to his injuries.
But I really don't think he was bad at all toward the end of the season (Leeds aside)
And he does seem a great character (for what that's worth)
I don't think this is a terrible deal on a free in this cash-starved environment
