Righ back problems and the soluton. Enter Van Der Wiel

Firstly this is my first post on We ain't got no history but i have being reading the fans post's for a long time now and decided today to join.

According to the daily mail VDW is the latest in the january transfer window to be linked with Chelsea. This Speculation has lead to this Chelsea Fan Drooling at the prospect of consecutive clean sheets. Chelsea's defensive problems have being well documented this season RB has being the positon which has mainly being documented this season and in previous seasons it has also being a problem area, with Micheal Essien having to deputise at RB on more than one occasion. Jose Bosingwa however good an attacking threat he serves he is to prone to defensive mishaps. On more than one occasion this season he has being exploited and left David Luiz exposed way more than a CB should be.

Ivanovic However is an exellent defender but lacks the pace and stamina to keep with some of the more talented wide men of the Premier league. Not only has Nani and Agbonlahor to name a few, got the better of him on a few accasions the quality of his crosses and his confidence to charge down the flank to take on a defender has always being questioned, As it should be he has spent the majority of his career as a CB, crossing and dribbiling is not a skill set required for a CB and personally i think his potential and his confidence has being hindered because of playing out of his natural position.

I do however think that VDW could indeed be the solution to chelsea's defensive problems and i would love to see him wear blue this weekend. VDW is extremely athletic and has lung busting stamina enough so he'd be able to leave a track in the pitch from his constant running, and he is as comfortable on the ball as you’d expect from someone schooled by de Godenzonen (an academy that still preaches total football). VDW has 2 goals and 4 assists this season to back up his attacking prowess. On a defensive note VDW can sometimes in a positional sense has being caught out. Mainly at the world cup however he was reletively inexperienced internationally at the time. however his speed and stamina more than make up for this and he is not afraid of a challenge. I think many would agree in saying he was one of the unsung heros of the netherlands world cup campaign.

To conclude unless AVB brings in a natural RB within the transfer deadline we will struggle to make champions league places for next season. I also think if chelsea don't make champions league places they will struggle to bring in some of the quality talent that they normally would attract e.g Eden Hazard, Cavani, Hamsik or Modric all who have being linked with chelsea but who personally i think will only go to a club promised of a possible european winners medal. If AVB is to maintain his youthful revolution at chelsea i think VDW fits the bill.
