If we got Naughton on board on the right hand side too, that'll be pretty decent as well. Whether that's still in Lamberts mind I don't know. Though I'd hope that Lowton will start improving again.

I'd have thought Bertrand would be instead of Naughton rather than as well as. I'd be quite happy to keep Lowton in until the end of the season to be honest. Left back was the one that needed addressing.

Now that's a bit more like it. Bertrand is a good player.

Chelsea are in for Shaw and have another left back in front of him. He will be available in the summer. Good singing.

Definitely good value then. Decent left back and can hold a tune.

Predictive phones grrrrr

Great signing and in a position that I was most worried about.

Nice one and welcome Ryan.

Good signing although would have preferred an option to buy at the end of loan.
Will improve defence without doubt.
How do you know we haven't got a clause to buy? In any case, there's always an option to buy. All you have to do is offer Chelsea an acceptable amount and agree personal terms.

Left back has been a huge problem this season - this will  no doubt be a very big improvement in that area , lets hope we can get a midfielder or two in next.

Left back has been a huge problem since Bouma's leg snapped in half.

We didn't see that one coming - a nice bit of business, especially if we can make it permanent in the summer.

I know Lambert tried to sign him when he came and was told no, He's a good signing. He'll be able to play tomorrow won't he?

There is not always an option to buy - do you think Everton have an option on lukaku?
Lets hope he has a good spell here as did kyle walker , I'm sure he will be very decent for us.

Did well in Chelsea's European cup final and seemed to have a big future at the time.  So good news.
