Daniel1980 1,425 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Contradictory reports on the terms of the loan:According to the terms of the deal, if Van Ginkel plays more than 20 games this season for Milan, then the Italians won’t pay Chelsea anything for the loan. [Gazzetta]AC Milan News @Milanello · 34mMilan will pay €0.4m to loan Van Ginkel for this season.If he plays more than 20 matches: + €0.1m. Less than 20 matches: + €0.2m.

The only place to be 11,313 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Hope he has a great season so he can come back here and challenge for a spot, ideally replacing Ramires.As for our depth now, Baker should get some minutes and the situation with Chalobah becomes interesting.

Sidzeret 2,257 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 The only think we can can hope is that him, Chalobah comes back as better players and improve especially on their defensive game and we can let Mikel leaves next summer.

TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 The right move for his career and Chelsea. It's one thing to stay and fight when you have a good chance to win regular playing time, but I'd be worried if someone would turn down regular playing time for a legendary side and choose comfort and an occasional sub appearance.

ja1 1,166 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I'm interested to see what role they use him in. In a Chelsea shirt, I kind of think he's been a bit overrated. He's looked pretty reserved in all his appearances (I get that there's not been a lot of those and I'm including pre-season apps) and nothing has really stuck out about him as special except for being hard (sometimes too aggressive) in the tackle. However in the Dutch league of course he was meant to be this box to box midfielder and his goalscoring record was quite impressive in his final season..I do wonder if right from the off if he's been told to play a more reserved, defensive game by Mourinho, which is fair enough if that's how he sees him but of course it was different to how MVG would have played for Vitesse. So yeah, interested to see the midfield role he has, hopefully we'll see how he does given the chance to make runs forward and drive with the ball (or if indeed he is best as a more defensive player at a top level).

DH1988 1,348 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Worrying.Mikel was such a talent before he came to Chelsea and was forced into a DM role for all his years.Watch Nigeria games, Mikel is a different player - worried MVG is going the same way.

At one point he and Messi were considered to be the most promising youngsters...He had clubs like Chelsea and Man Utd all chasing his signature. I get that we're not fans of Mikel, but let's not revision the past. RoyalBlues 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was actually responding to the notion that for Nigeria he is some beast player when he really isn't, but yes you have a point that in 2005 he was viewed as a good attacking prospect.

MrBlueGuy 1,552 Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Anyone think he will even comeback here anymore? Unless he becomes top 10 CDM in Serie A next season he won't be good enough. We can easily go out and sign people like Khedira for free next summer or Caravalho for 20m. Point is he is now just someone we are farming then to sell for profit.
