swanseabear 25 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Went to see a reserve game tonight at Stamford Bridge- Chelsea v Everton. Two players stood out for me. Considering one of our centre backs is getting on in age and Papac is off form, these two suggestions are a CB and LB.1) Michael Mancienne. He was on loan at Wolves last year. Have no idea his status is in terms of transfer, but if we could bring him in he would be fantastic.2)Patrick van Aanholt. He had a great first touch, solid defensively and his crossing was sublime. As LB is a no-go for him, perhaps he could come up to us for some first team football.Thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gillRFC 0 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Mancienne would be good can play center back even left back. One chelsea youth id love to get on loan is gael kakuta. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForestDillinger 9 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Both good players, but I doubt Walter would pick them ahead of Sasa, Davie and Magic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
watp72 54 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Van Anholt... Im sure I seen him playing for a championship side on loan last season. Looked impressive enough from what I remember, but seemed a defensive liability as he liked to bomb forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Mackay 0 Posted August 23, 2010 Share Posted August 23, 2010 Mancienne would be a great transfer/loan deal! Not seen much of the other guy though Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilstonloyal 186 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 walter would take Michael Mancienne but only on a permanent deal but a would imagine chelsea would want about 4-5 million Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flawless 0 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 is he the one that was caught up in chelsea's transfer thing a while back ?Yes he was, played a but in the first team after his ban was lifted, absolute class! No chance of him coming here though.Mancienne is a good footballer, extremely lightweight tho, still take him over though! Not sure of the benefits for either parties? And not heard much of this other dude.What's the date for the 25 man squads to be finalised? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cumbria_blue 51 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 I dont think we should take Mancienne. Not as a CB anyway. He spent most of his loan spell at Wolves last year as a holding midfielder, since he struggled badly at centre back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orangeclement 619 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Wouldn't get the English lad as Chelsea don't have many home grown players and he will be needed for their allocation i would think Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RFCsince1690 5 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 Van Aanholt is on the bench most weekends for them, think Ancelotti wants tokeep him at the Bridge Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMC 125 Posted August 24, 2010 Share Posted August 24, 2010 If we are talking about youngsters not yet on unrealistic wages...John Guidetti from Man City, a Mark Viduka style forward. The fact that Weiss already is here might just make it possible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
