On loan till the end of the season according to SSN and Mourinho.
Still really need that no10, but a very good signing nonetheless imo

Breaking transfer news: Villa secure loan deal for Chelsea ace
Ryan Bertrand signs from Chelsea.
The Club is pleased to announce the signing of Ryan Bertrand on loan from Chelsea to the end of the season.
The 24-year-old full back has played in 56 matches in all competitions for Chelsea, including the 2012 Champions League final victory over Bayern Munich in the Allianz Arena.
He has represented England at every level from U17s through to the senior side, making his full England debut against Italy in 2012.
He also represented Great Britain at the London Olympics in 2012.
Manager Paul Lambert said: "Ryan brings a lot of big-game experience, not only in the Barclays Premier League but even a Champions League final which Chelsea won, so he'll be really good for us.
"The way he plays the game and as a person, too, he'll fit in here great and it will be good for him also to be playing games. He has real enthusiasm for the game and he's looking forward to playing here.
"We're grateful to Chelsea for allowing him to come here on loan and we know he'll be really good to work with."
Bertrand said: "It's a fantastic opportunity for me to come here. Aston Villa is a fantastic club with a massive fanbase and a great history. To get this chance to come here and play some games will be a really good step for me.
"Whenever I've played for Chelsea here at Villa Park the fans have been fantastic and have always created a great atmosphere. The pitch, too, has always been great, including when we played in the Community Shield here against Manchester City, and I'm looking forward to playing on it more regularly until the end of the season.

Agreed on both counts, a good signing, albeit on a short term basis.

We'll be in pole position for a permanent move in the summer is the audition goes well.

Great deal, don't care if it's only 5 months, tide us over till summer and make sure we don't blow the gap we've created from the bottom 3. I reckon this window will be about fighting fires cost effectively.

Decent player. Shame it's on loan. Surely this means either Luna or Bennett are off in the summer?

I reckon Bennett will be off on loan to the Championship when fit.

Surely Luna. Bennett could do with strengthening, Luna looks most of the time he lacks basic fullback awareness.

Don't know anything about him, but he can't be worse than Luna.
So that's three left backs in under Lambert now. Surely if we throw enough in one will work out eventually.
Welcome Ryan

Happy with that, be even better if there is a chance of permanent, but I suspect he'll be another Kyle Walker who takes over full-time from Cashley Cole when he goes back.
