EskWeston 696 Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 I found the section highlighted very interesting. I wouldn't have thought that Van Aanholt would have had the oppertunity to play CC football for us this season, unless the club are being extremely cautious incase both Cole and Zhirkov get injured.

Clevemayer 764 Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 it seems like he is a big hit at coventry, has played his last game and was rated high on skysports by the fans... its too early to say something, but it seems like hes really gonna be like ash... I hope so, cause in 5 Years he'll be 33, and than Aanholt would be 22, great replacement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get him into a Premier League club next season that would be really quick progression for him. With Ryan Bertrand, Patrick Van Aanholt and Ben Gordon we are producing some very good left backs indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 According to the BBC website Patrick Van Aanholt is out for 3 to 4 weeks with a groin strain.Always dissapointing to see these on loan players pick up injuries, it hampers their progress and means they get less games. Hopefully he will get straight back into things once he recovers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueboy 14 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 (edited) Anyone knows anything about his progress at coventry? Is he incognito at conventry or what ? Edited November 11, 2009 by Blueboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 He is doing very well by all accounts, playing every game except when he was injured for a short period. All the reports i have seen on him so far have been very positive indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueboy 14 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Haha, there we've got our youth/reserve expert again !Is he on loan until the january transferwindow or will he be at coventry the whole season?In my opinion, as a youth or reserve player, you are better off being out on loan at a club like Coventry, where you probably get more time on the pitch. And i think that is the main thing you need when you're working yourself up the ranks at Chelsea; play games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EskWeston 696 Posted November 11, 2009 Author Share Posted November 11, 2009 lol The loan is currently only till January, could be extended till the end of the season as he is playing regulary or the club may feel a move to another club will be better for him.Yes i agree, playing regular league football is vital for their development.

Blueboy 14 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 Still the best is relegation football (how awkward that may sound) xD. They learn to handle with pressure and they must perform at their best to keep their team in the league .We're not talking about clubs like Notts County btw xD, but more like mancienne at wolves .

He will probably feel he performed better last year, but he will learn a lot more this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueboy 14 Posted November 11, 2009 Share Posted November 11, 2009 I don't seen much of him, but how much of a talent is he really? I see him in your sig together with the brightest prospects of our academy i guess ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see him in your sig together with the brightest prospects of our academy i guess ??A lot of our young players have the potential to make it with our first team. But potential needs to be realised by first doing well on loan and then trying to make inroads with our first team. Mancienne is in the top bracket at the moment for players likely to get a regular spot with the first team next.Van Aanholt is also looking like having an excellent chance, and at left back which is a very specialist position, we are lucky to have both Van Aanholt and Bertrand both who are looking top prospects.Thanks to whoever moved this to the correct thread, much appreciated.

Blueboy 14 Posted November 12, 2009 Share Posted November 12, 2009 (edited) Aren't there some video highlights available of Van Aanholt? I'm very eager to have a look at this game after reading this topic!Lol xD, forget about that, already found it .

EskWeston 696 Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Patrick has left Coventry and returned to Chelsea as it looks like he will be looked at for a first team appearance.
