Patrick van Aanholt

[Mouri_Matic 560]

Will probably never make it here if we sign a new LB like Shaw

[CHOULO19 24,332]

He's more than earned a shot at the first team. That said, I don't think Bertrand has showed anything to suggest that he should leave and I don't think there is any chance we will have both at the same time.

When he played for us, i was never convinced, his defending looked like coming from the school of Bosingwa, and Leicester fans couldn't wait to get rid of him and said Kyle Naughton (who they had at the same time) was a class above him.

However if he has improved at Vittesse, then i would rather we gave him the squad slot (if Bertrand leaves) instead of spending £7m on some average joe around Europe.

It'd be great if we recalled PVA in January and gave him a chance to see what he can do. Otherwise we're just going to buy another LB in the summer without ever having given him a chance.

We already have Bertrand here and we're not giving even him a chance. Patrick is having a wonderful season with Vitesse. Why ruin it for him?

Bertrand has been injured most of the season expect to see him soon tho,I think Cole will leave at end of season and Bertrand will be no1 Lb and if Pva is deemed good enough to be no2 lb or he will be sold

He's been injured for only three weeks and we only found out about it last week. I think Ryan is as good as gone, unfortunately.

Since we are out the capital cup i dont see in what competion we could give him a chance, the other competion's are to important.

He has niggly injuries most of the season he was back in training and on bench when he got injured again over 4 weeks ago,hope when he comes back he can show he can be no1 cfc lb or you might be right

Mourinho clearly doesn't rate Bertrand and his injury has been a rather convenient excuse. We didn't even hear he was injured until like a month after it happened, and by that time Azpi was already first choice LB.

Patrick is having a wonderful season but then he's already had quite a few with them already. We know he's good at that level, why not give him a go?

It's clear we're going to strengthen the LB position in the summer so why not give one of our own a chance for the next 5 months before we go spending big money? Perhaps if we did the same with Sturridge we could have saved ourselves 50m.

PVA is 23 with seasons of pro football under his belt. He isn't some 16 year old being eased into adult football for the very first time.

Could get a chance in the summer if Bertrand leaves in January, but I would've thought the focus would be on getting Luke Shaw.

I just feel that bringing him back to sit him in the stands for a season or a season or a half is just unfair to the boy. We've stalled his career enough, imo.

True. I was just thinking out loud to be honest, I doubt he'll ever get a chance here. I just read today Chelsea were looking to sell him last summer and Vitesse talked them out of it!

Im not saying that, but i do wonder if he's proven enough to be part of the team in the most important part of the season thats coming up at this level?

Yeah, I remember that. I think we'll probably end up selling him to Vitesse which honestly won't be bad at all for the kid. They're becoming one of the best teams in Netherlands and with a great chance of winning the tittle this season. His performances even earned him a cap with the NT last month.
