Rumoured Gregory van der Wiel

[zolayes 14,489]

Right-back should be towards the bottom of our list of priorities. Ivanovic and Ferreira are more than good enough for that position. Ramires is capable of playing there. We also have some exceptionally good full-backs coming through our academy.

I would NEVER waste Ramires at rb

He means play Ramires as a RB if all our Rb's are injured. He can easily play there and would do pretty well.

[zolayes 14,489]

sooner see Cahill moved ...we need Ramires in midfield

Ramires has played RB before. Recently. Can't remember which game.

[Sheva. 5,373]

Barcelona away.

[Jase 43,479]

IF you believe Wikipedia, Cahill can play at right back and left back because of his pace and technical ability...

[i.am.blue 61]

cahill plays best at cb dont know as full backs

[didierforever 7,349]

he will be a good buy. need a rb. should let go off ferreira too if we really want the overhaul.so ivanovic,wiel and hutch would be good for rb.

I read somewhere that VDW will join us for £8m, and Real Madrid will sign Ivanovic!

What a load of rubbish!

Yeah the Sunday Times think we will sign him for 8 million, didn't see the Ivanovic thng though.

Chelsea are set to sign Netherlands international defender Gregory van der Wiel, 24, from Ajax Amsterdam for £8m.

[BlueLyon 9,359]

I still prefer Azpi over this player, but 8mio is not that much...Ivanovic already said he knows about RM interest, but is happy with Chelsea.

[Bir_CFC 3,455]

8M isn't too bad. Ivan should still be first choice, but VDW, although I'm not much of fan he's not worse than Bos.

[Superblue 6,370]

He's definately a big improvement on bossie and is about 6/7 years younger.

Branna's defensive strengths will be good against the better teams but against smaller teams willing to sit and defend at the bridge, his pace and ability out wide could be vital to breaking down teams like this.

[Duppy Conqueror 1,494]

would be nice to see one of our crop of talented youngsters in our youth academy get a shot ahead of him,there`s a few that could really be the long term answer if given a chance. we have Bran as our regular starter for the next 4 years or more anyway. it would make our first team squad look stronger on paper to sign an already established and experienced International player but maybe Kane can be a better option for us in the long term. it`s a risk but with what we already have at the club i`d say it would be a calculated risk with a strong safety net if it didn't go to plan.

really for all transfers i only want players being brought in that could either be an upgrade over a regular starter or a player at a position where we have no serious contenders for promotion from our youth ranks.

otherwise i don't give a fook if they come free with a bag of maltesers.it ain't a bargain, we just don't get to realize how much we losing till later.

Not sure how much reliable it is.

[RamiCFC9 258]

For 10 mil. I would take GVDW in a heatbeat.Just imagine our right flank against lesser teams with Hulk cutting inside and GVDW providing width on the flanks, would be absolutely brilliant.

[Thor 2,392]

I think he's a highly overrated prospect and he'll annoy the hell out of a lot of posters much in the same likeness as Bosingwa did. Then agian, he's young and may improve upon things, and with today's game, an attacking presence at his position is almost more important than a defending one.

[ulsterchelsea 3,221]

Reports filtering through on the much doubted Twitter that we have agreed an 8 mill deal. Dutch media being the source but no link. Dont shoot the messenger
