Am I the only one who thinks he should hold out for Newcastle instead? He'll be an automatic starter there with their options & it's a much bigger club than West Brom. Playing well at Newcastle could earn him a move to a bigger club while at West Brom he's battling relegation every season.

Playing well at Newcastle could earn him a move to a bigger club while at West Brom he's battling relegation every season. He would play at either team. West Brom are a stable club that will be safely in mid table all season whereas Newcastle could conceivably get relegated. If he does well at West Brom, and then at the Euros, he'll be looked at by big clubs. |

Newcastle have signed 3 highly rated internationals in Mitrovic, Mbemba & Wijnaldum while West Brom have only signed James McClean this summer. He'll also be competing with a well established CB partnership there while at Newcastle he'd be a certain starter. I just think Newcastle have more potential & playing well there would be a bigger platform for possibly an even bigger club in the near future. |

But as a club they're a shambles and they have a highly inconsistent manager. Newcastle aslo don't have a great record of developing players and selling them on - partly due to how bad they've been for several years. WBA are a perfect step up from Hull because they will be comfy in midtable, beat a couple of big teams, and be very well organised in D. Chester does well this season and we do well in the summer, he'll be wanted by big-ish teams, probably Champions League aspirants like Liverpool, Spurs, Everton. If he is of a mind to move abroad then tje Champions League would be a possibility. |

Signing completed. Real Madrid could of bought 8 and a half Jimmy Chester's instead of Bale!

Would have been double that if he'd have opted to play for England. West Brom have got themselves some player there.

Cracking deal for all concerned! WBA have got a barging, great for the player to be playing premier league football and for a side that's pretty established now and great for Wales for Chester to be playing against the best players week in week out

Given that he wasn't a nailed on starter for Hull, he had only a year on his contract and that Hull wanted and needed to sell I think they've done well to get 8 million for him. I'm pleased for him and he's been great for us - indeed, is the fee more a reflection of his Wales performances than club?

I think his performances for us have definitely helped.
We've got a classy CB partnership in him and Williams. Calm on the ball, good feet, fantastic reading the game, good leap + tackle

First reaction was alot for him, considering we paid 4mill for ince, they sold Brady for about 8mill to Norwich. But good business and good move for Chester |

In and out of the side, shunted to FB. Perhaps its more a case that he plays like a boss alongside Williams? Would be interesting to see him alongside Collins in a Wales shirt. In fact, I am really surprised that no club has made it their mission to get both Williams and Chester together given just how strong they have both looked together for Wale. I really cannot understate how calm and assured they have looked under periods of intense pressure from decent sides. |

I think Hennessey is a significant factor in that solidity too, but, yeah, I agree |

I am sure if this was this time last year when Chico left Swansea together with Hull being relegated and Chester's form alongside Ash for Wales, Swansea would have bought him. |

I think what probably counts against these two being a pairing in many managers minds would be that neither is very tall. Chester isn't even 6ft. The PL gets fairly agricultural at times so I think it's probably a factor. |

Yes, I suggested this on a Swansea forum and most disagreed stating that they would prefer the current partnership. Wearing my Swansea hat, I do not disagree. Wearing my Welsh one, it would have been great for club and country. |

Chester is playing at RB for West Brom tonight. He's up against Sterling so should be interesting.

And strikers on the left wing! Think the team he won promotion with at Stoke had Cresswell on the left win and had Dominic Matteo play full back on occasion. |

He really looked at out of position at RB. Dawson is a much more attacking player, so in my slightly biased opinion he should make way for Chester to go in at centre back and Dawson at right back.

Chester will learn more about defence playing at RB for Pulis than he would playing at CB for Bruce - there's no comparison.

Fazio is having a medical at West Brom this morning
He's a good footballer... good competition for Chester

Fazio is a quality player, not so much for Spurs but he was quality in Spain before he moved. Can't see Chester getting a look in if he signs so hope it breaks down.

Let's just be glad he's back in the Premier. We need as many as possible playing at that level come summer 2016. I don't agree with the view that 'its alright to have 5 or 6 playing regularly in the Championship'. If we want to compete and confirm that we deserve to be a top 10 side we would a large majority of the squad playing top level football.
