Official - Michael Mancienne joins Hamburg

If we are planning to loan him, I'd say send him to a club like West Ham or Portsmouth, or Everton... Not Wolves!!

Why?

How is he going to get regular games at West Ham, Pompey or Everton when they have international players in his position already! Wolves is perfect for him, he WILL get the regular games and will get all the experience he needs.

And he was at Wolves last season...So he wouldent need to do any fitting in

[Term-X 7,891]

how many time are we going to loan him out for christ sake!.. i;d rather sell ivanovic

and we wonder why our squad is so young.

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Damn, i was hoping he could get some match time here at SB.

Hope he does well

[Term-X 7,891]

^ he 'did well' at wolves last time lmao

this is ridiculous really, throw ivanovic out and play mancienne.

[ZanSnake 1,211]

^^ Yeah, but that was in the championship, not in the premiership.

In the EPL he will be facing teams like Arsenal and Man Utd, or have you forgotten that?

If he plays well against them for Wolves, and Carlo sees who needs to go either in January or the end of the season, i hope he can take their place.

[EskWeston 696]

Mancienne isn't going to get hardly any games for us this season, especially now that Carvalho is staying another year. If he goes to Wolves he gets a full season playing Premier League football, which is a big deal and would make it easier for Carlo to trust him playing for us.

In an ideal world we would be able to play him in our first team, but a loan to Wolves at this stage in his career can only be good for him and will certainly not set him back. The club are making it very clear they see him as part of our future as they are getting him to sign a new deal before he goes off on loan.

[diskoviolente 425]

At first i was a bit unsure about the M.M. deals, but if he signs a new four year deal before going to club on loan and playing regular first team football in the Premier League - why not ?

It is true, with Carvalho, Alex and Ivano we have the exact picking order.

Mancienne will come back stronger i think and then will replace one of them defenders i mentionend.

Sky Sports confirming deal done. Nothing from either club yet though......

Chelsea defender Michael Mancienne has joined Wolves on a season-long loan deal. The England U21 international was at Molineux on Thursday to thrash out personal terms and an agreement has now been reached.

The 21-year-old centre-half will be taking in a second spell in the West Midlands, having spent just over two months on loan at Wolves last season.

He becomes Mick McCarthy's seventh signing of a busy summer as he gears up for life back in the Premier League.

Wolves may not be done yet, though, as chief executive Jez Moxey has confirmed that the club continue to track potential targets.

"It's been a long, hard summer in terms of preparing for the Premier League and bringing in new players, and we're still looking for more even now," he said in the Express and Star

Good move for him, but we can't keep sending him out on loan for much longer

Natural progression, he has succeeded in the Championship and now he is going to have a full season in the Premier League. This will give him excellant grounding to come back next summer and earn himself a place. He needs to work very hard though, it isn't easy as a centre back playing in a team fighting relegation.

[Kez 2,727]

This is his season to shine.

Wolves are hoping to sign Mancienne on a permanent deal now, but the ball is in Chelsea's court.

After selling Stoch last month, could they sell Mancienne too? http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11661_6232457,00.html

[5354 204]

I think we should sell ): Please have a buy-back tag though.

[ZanSnake 1,211]

Sell him, and put Bruma is a more important role.

I think he is quite good. It is youtube clip, but still.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Looks like Chelsea are set to retain Michael Mancienne for next season.

Wolves manager Mick McCarthy may abandon his attempts to sign Chelsea defender Michael Mancienne.
