Ryan Bertrand

[villan from luton]

He is an excellent left back and we looked a far better team with him there. Composed on the ball andgood defending, long may it continue. 

[Ian.]

Lets enjoy him while we got him. I still like and have hope for Bennett and hopefully he can learn from him.

[SoccerHQ]

I think some are jumping the gun a little. He had a good game yesterday but we ought to appraise him over a few more games before talking of a permanent signing.

Yes this is true. We have a history of players who look great on their debuts/early games and then they decline badly.

You only have to look at our last left back to see this.

That's a fair point, although in that example, Bertrand has at least got 50 odd top flight appearances under his belt elsewhere to back up his claims.

I think he had a solid game last night and with his decent experience and good pace, I'm far happier with him there than Luna but let's not get carried away, it was a decent performance rather than a great one.

A decent performance on a consistent basis would be an upgrade on anyone we've had there since Bouma.

Agreed. I think he'll get better and better as the season goes on.

Warnock was good when he first joined. Then he had a bad injury and never got back to his previous form.

at  least its not another signing from a european second league or off the bench from Chesterfield.

These are the sort of signings I prefer , yes still young enough but will plenty of premiership experience , been with top players and still a point to prove esp with England . I was expecting more like this since PL took over but he has got it wrong too many times , If hes staying , Lets hope hes learned from his transfer mistakes.

Now go and ask them about Mata      

selling cahill to bolton for the fee we got for him, to me, is the absolute worst piece of business we have done in the last few years. I rememebr scratching my head at the time and thinking: why? he's a decent player. Then seeing him kick on at Bolton and then chelsea, just reinforces the thinking of O'Neill being an absolute c**t, for quite a few reasons.

Just saw this from 'The Shed End' forum

"Happy for Bertrand, happy its not Liverpool, but he is a better standard than Aston Villa."

Who the fuck do they think they are, short of lottery winners, to think their cast offs deserve better than us.  If I ever needed any more reason to hate that club and/or their fans.

I read a few of their forums about Bertrand this morning and saw lots of that.

The c***s.

They're a club with absolute no redeeming features. None. I hate Man United but I can think of the odd positive about them, they're away support is impressive, they've stuck with one manager to build a dynasty, they've managed to keep on winning despite shit owners.

Liverpool, who i've hated even longer than Man United, I can think of the odd redeeming feature for them, too.

Chelsea, though? Not one single thing, absolutely nothing, there is not a single reason to respect, like or accept Chelsea. Everything about them is revolting.

blue shirts too....

The one memory I have of the game, is him tracking Sterling, keeping tight, then making an excellent deft interception, turning and using Sterling's momentum to create a freekick. Very clever defending.

He screams solid to me.

I remember thinking Carlton Cole was going to be brilliant.
