Nathaniel Clyne

I believe that Nathaniel Clyne would be an excellent soultion to the problem of a 2nd/back up right back.The 21 year old is at Crystal Palace and his contract is up so compensation would need to be paid but it would only be around the £2m mark. Clyne is a talented young player with a bright future and would fit the bill in the mould of Bertrand on the left as well as helping the english quota.

Well, I haven't heard much about him, or seen him play. But, from the highlight videos he looks to be quick and a good passer, with decent crossing. It's pretty hard to get a good feel for his defensive ability from a highlight reel though. If I had to guess, I'd say he was a winger that got converted to RB at the academy level.

I assume someone out there has seen him play more - how does he look?

At 2mil or less, he seems like a smart buy regardless. He'd certainly be on lower wages than Paulo and VDW if nothing else. I don't see why we couldn't replace both Bosingwa and Paulo with VDW and Clyne. I'm sure they'd both learn a lot as Ivanovic's understudies.Oh the other hand, haven't no vetran EPL-player depth at right back would be concerning.

i like what we have already at RB in our academy. but with him being available on the cheap,might be worth getting anyway(loan him out if needs be for a year and if he`s not Chelsea standard should still be able to sell him on and recoup whatever we would have had to pay in compo to get him) when i`ve seen him play he doesn't appear to have any glaring problems with his defending but i`ve only seen a "handful" of games and it was against a lower level of opposition obviously..
