Positive news from the Coalman and Arson show. We have a left back on loan from Chelsea.
At least we have someone who is used to playing in that position, we reserve judgement on their ability until they have played at least 5 games.
No idea on a nickname, suggestions welcome.
Patrick van Aanholt
Born 29.8.90 in 's-Hertogenbosch, Holland.
In his third year at Chelsea having arrived from PSV Eindhoven, the tall, fast and technically accomplished defender immediately established himself in the reserves where he was the third highest appearance maker in 2007/08 with 14+1 games, mostly at left-back, demonstrating an ability to rocket in the odd long-range goal.
Last season was another of steady development for Patrick, with a further 12 reserve appearances in the left-back slot.
In the youth team, he was a centre-back of choice on the way to the FA Youth Cup Final, and alongside Jeffrey Bruma is a Dutch Under 19 international.
