Michael Mancienne - TalkCeltic

MomoSylla? · 14-10-2008, 11:38 AM

Chelsea youngster Michael Mancienne has conceded he may be forced to leave Stamford Bridge.
The highly-rated 20-year-old has yet to make the breakthrough at Chelsea since coming through the youth ranks.
Mancienne has had two successful loan spells at Queens Park Rangers over the last few years, but he has been unable to make an impression in the star-studded Chelsea line-up.
The versatile defender, who is a regular in the England Under 21 side, admits it is frustrating being forced to play reserve-team football.
"I understand the problem at Chelsea because there are so many top quality players," Mancienne told The Sun.

Would be a decent signing

HunSkelper · 14-10-2008, 12:02 PM

(the standard question now) can he play LB?

Barry Robson · 14-10-2008, 12:17 PM

I believe he can play centre half and right back. Would be a great signing, a really good defender with a bit of pace

Think he's just a centre back mate. Would be a great signing though. One for the future, so a certainty from an investment stance, and would provide healthy competition.

i hate all this "would be a good signing" from people who have never seen him play, for all we know he shite

MagicCalculator · 14-10-2008, 02:34 PM

I've seen him play a few times.

Looked a decent player, tall and mobile.

Last saw him for the England U-21's and he looked very assured on the ball, A poor man's Rio Ferdinand i guess

DannyBonnar · 14-10-2008, 04:24 PM

would be a great signing but i think to many top flight english teams will be in for him. think he would come on loan though.

Stubo · 14-10-2008, 07:40 PM

Hes playing for the U21's right now if anyone cares

holy pope · 14-10-2008, 09:39 PM

Englands best player on the park only player that started for them that aint played in the prem yet , He was first class all night would be a great buy if we could get him cheap enough ,

gerry_bhoy · 15-10-2008, 11:46 AM

As a current u21, very much doubt he would come to the SPL. Still got a chance as a full international if he signs for a lesser EPL team, which he will.

Seen him for the England Under 21's. Class. Also Football Manager 2008 rates him highly, always a trust worthy source haha.

He played for QPR, not some non-league club. And he plays a lot with the U-21s... people were actually watching him when you posted that comment. Just because you haven't seen him doesn't mean others haven't seen him.

Saying that, I haven't seen him. Sounds decent enough, though. Even though we have depth at RB, I don't think Hinkel or Wilson are good enough for Europe in their current form so if he's cheap why not. Our good depth doesn't necessarily equal good quality.
