Mancienne eyes Chelsea exit

Under-21 skipper admits he will need to move

Last updated: 12th September 2010

England Under-21 captain Michael Mancienne admits that he will probably have to quit Chelsea to pursue his Premier League career.

Mancienne has joined Wolves on loan for a third time and the 22-year-old feels that although being a product of Chelsea's youth system, he will never get the chance to forge a career at Stamford Bridge.

Mancienne admits that Chelsea is a tough place to make the breakthrough and he will likely have to seal a permanent move away from the club.

"It is difficult to break in at Chelsea. They've got players who are representing and captaining their countries," he told The People.

Get away

"They're in so many cup competitions as well and they need to win all the games.

"It's a good place to get your football education but it is hard for youngsters to get an opportunity to play.

"I've played a few games but I've been out on loan the majority of the time.

"The manager doesn't speak to me, not when I'm out on loan. Instead, I just have scouts that come to watch games and I report to them and they then go to the club.

"As a player you just want the chance to make a name for yourself, to show what you can do.

"So will I have to get away from Chelsea? Yes, I probably will."

Belief

Mancienne is delighted to be back under Mick McCarthy's tutelage at Molineux.

"Mick has been great for me at Wolves, he's given me the belief I needed," he said.

"If I make a mistake in a game he'll pull me aside and tell me how I can improve.

"The truth is I don't care where I play at the moment. I just want to be out there."

His days at Chelsea seem to have been numbered for a while now, just hope he has a good season at Wolves so we can get a decent fee in the summer.

would be sorry to see him leave >I believe he is good enough to be a squad player for us given his versaltility

Bit disappointing isn't it, I always thought the same of Cork aswell.

[Madmax 9,219]

To be expected. We haven't treated him very well tbh. Like 25 said, hope he has a good season so we can get a decent fee.

Rumours going around that Michael Mancienne is about to sign for Hamburg having been lured there by Frank Arnesen.

[RX8 40]

He can go and see if he can do it right some place else. He is a regular normal player. He has not show anything to deserv a chance. Good luck in other team

[termninja 5,290]

We should let him leave if we can't guarantee him a place in our first team. If we sell Alex though, I'd rather keep him.

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

we should have let him leave a year or so ago, dont think he was ever going to make it with us

[BlueLion. 21,491]

His Wolves loan spell has shown that he is not quite Chelsea quality, he is error-prone and has struggled to make much of an impression this season. A move is best for his career.

[NattyBlue 44]

Goodbye, the fucker did one over on us back in 2008 when he basically made us give him a nice contract or said he would leave. He was a mistake and that's why we let Borini go, fool me once...

[Ollie 4,400]

He's not good enough and imo he's not even premiership level let alone Chelsea level. He needs to leave and settle down.

If David Luiz didn't come, he'd have chance to be a regular first team member but now it's gone. I rather see him on another loan than sell him.

If David Luiz didn't come, he'd have chance to be a regular first team member but now it's gone. I rather see him on another loan than sell him.

He never had a chance of regular football, regardless of the David Luiz arrival.

[Makaveli 59]

Well I remember a time under Hiddink..he was doing very well. But he's 22 now and we've got fantastic defenders anyway..

Seems like it is finished.

Goodbye Michael...
