Rumoured Gregory van der Wiel

[Spike 12,049]

We should attempt to lure Micah Richards - struggling to get a game at Man Citeh!

It would be an amazing signing. I really like Richards. He can get too carried away attacking though, but not as much as Bosingwa.

If the player would really like to play for Chelsea then we should support him.

I don't understand some of the posters here. First they say Ivanovic will be first choice RB next season and if we are after a RB, then it should be a back-up. Then they say they rather have Azpilicueta than VdW, but I think Azpi will want a staring role more than Van der Wiel, so this doesn't make much sense. I would release/sell Bosingwa and Ferreira and buy Van der Wiel, than make Hutch the 3rd choice RB, like Ferreira was this and last season. Ivanovič will probably play a fair share of the games in the CB position, because of the Terry "racist" scandal and injuries to Cahill.

I just think that VdW is more likely to accept the back-up RB role than Azpilicueta or Isla and he will only cost 8 million €, which is half the money than Bosingwa was bought for. There are very few good young RB around and I think that Gregory is a good choice (not a perfect choice), because he is an attacking full back who can cross, dribble and also shoot (his goal in UCL this year for example) unfortunately, he is not a good defender, but I would only use him against teams than play defensive and "park the bus" in Stamford Bridge.

For 8m,I wouldn't mind taking a risk.

Starts vs. Denmark.

I personally don't particularly want him here, but it looks like we may be getting him, so I hope he has a great game!

[didierforever 7,349]

the guy sucks. we just got rid of a bosingwa, y do we want another one? hutchinson seems much better. bertrand can do the job do(not much idea how good he would be on the right flank). anyways no point in wasting 10mil. please.

[Dylan_91 90]

Yeah he was awful today

[Justin_3d 1,140]

One game is too much to make comparison.

But it's the same people that have been saying the same stuff for ages since they watch him close in Ajax....so they might have a point.

It looks like Azpi is the popular choice in this site for our new RB.

Ryan Bertrand > gvw......

[Leif 6,006]

Is a left back.

[DDA 9,924]

He wasn't great today but i don't think he was awful... he tired towards the end of the game before he was substituted and I'm sure i heard the commentator say he missed a lot of last season through injury. So naturally he will play sloppy passes.

The thing is VDW is a much better player with Netherlands then Ajax.

Id hate to think how shit he is for Ajax then.

Id hate to think how shit he is for Ajax then.

he had a pretty poor season. europe may overrate him but the dutch know exactly how good he is and they are not impressed. would love to see us ignore vdw tbh

journo: Branislav, what do you think of Van der Wiel?

Don't want him here until he starts producing impressive displays week and week out.

Ronaldo is absolutely abusing Van Der Wiel right now. I know Ronaldo is better than anyone VDW will face in the Premier League, but I think Ronaldo is single handedly dropping the transfer value of VDW by a few million today
