itchen_dan Posted 9 August, 2012 Share Posted 9 August, 2012 Just looked back through Nixon's timeline and he tweeted 4 hours ago (3pm ish) reluctantnicko: @chrisnicholls19 Not a word. Poss left back loan cropped up. But not concrete move yet. So it's a left back he is on about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itchen_dan Posted 9 August, 2012 Share Posted 9 August, 2012 Lol. Exactly my reaction even though I posted it. Who else is there out there that could come in on loan at LB, and replace Fox? He'd have to be pretty decent whoever it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 9 August, 2012 Share Posted 9 August, 2012 Pretty certain it won't be Bertrand. Lets be realistic... What's unrealistic about it? He won't be a starter at Chelsea as Cole starts when fit (and he's always fit). Chelsea may feel that he needs a full-season in the PL to really start to kick on, that won't happen if he's sat around on a bench all season waiting for Cole to be injured. Gibbs would be unrealistic as he's already first team at Arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gibbs would be unrealistic as he's already first team at Arsenal. Not necessarily. Bertrand started the Champions League final with Ashley Cole, so di Matteo may see an alternative role for him. Chelsea don't have another left sided defender so they have no proper backup for cole without Bertrand. Can't see him going anywhere, particularly as Cole is not getting any younger and indeed may need to be rested against the lesser teams and for cup games.

S-Clarke Posted 9 August, 2012 Share Posted 9 August, 2012 Olsson? loan for a season, and go back to Blackburn if they go back up ? That's an interesting shout, with a guaranteed transfer fee in it. It would be like a permanent transfer, delayed by a year. I know WBA did that alot when they were relegated (brum did the same last year with Foster), they didn't sell their high earners...the loaned them out for the season and then made more profit the next year (IIRC....?) may be barking up the wrong tree.

itchen_dan Posted 9 August, 2012 Share Posted 9 August, 2012 Certainly more likely if they can get Baines to challenge Evra. Doubt it as Nixon says the signing would be a starter for the team. Cant see an untried and untested 19 year old displacing Fox. This makes Bertrand more likely as he is a similar age but in a different league experience and quality wise.

SuperMikey Posted 9 August, 2012 Share Posted 9 August, 2012 Thinking of left backs that could go on loan - Danny Rose? Plays better on the wing but has been switched to a full-back recently.
