SPECULATION - Bertrand on loan, again

[Focher]

according to todays papers its between us and Bristol City.

If its anywhere else then fine, i cant be arsed to find it.

[Wycombe Royal]

Would seem a strange one after us signing Williams. Bristol City need a left back though......

[Sun Tzu]

Will Williams be forced to surrender his number 3 shirt ?

Bertrand could comfortably play in midfield, although we're not too short there !!

[Scarface]

If true then fantastic. Williams will just have to play 2nd fiddle for a season.

So a left back at right back, and a right back at centre back
The sad reality of that is, with our lack of centre backs, it is a distinct possibility.
Whilst I'd love Bertrand to come back, centre back is without doubt the main priority at the moment.

[loyalroyal4life]

Bertrand can do a job at left mid.

I would rather sign him than see him go to brizzle.

[Barry the bird boggler]

What utter crap, how on earth are we interested in Bertrand when we've got Williams and have much more pressing need at centre back?

Still hope its true though

[Agent Balti]

Probably just lazy journalism from some hack that's failed to see that we've signed a left-back in pre-season.

Probably means Jobi has signed for QPR on the hush and we'll use Bertrand as left midfield

Even though Coppell's been slating the loan system again and we don't need a LB? Think not.



^Hope you're wrong, BigFers.

Read an article on this on some Bristol newspaper's website yesterday (linked from the Beeb) - think he will end up at Brizzle as it appears Coppell has realised that there's not a lot of money at AG to buy players with.

[NR_Royal]

Seriously, use him as a left mid and he'd be quality. This would give us cover for both LB and LM and would make a lot of sense.

[brendywendy]

kebe>bertrand at LM, so hed be on the bench. cant see that either

[Smoking Kills Dancing Doe]

Why would we have signed Williams if we could afford Bertrand?

Chelsea still hoping he a Prem side will take. Everyone who needs a left back will be all over Bertrand.

We need a centre half, so why waste money on a 2nd choice left back when things are so tight?

If Chelsea pay his wages then not getting Berti back on loan is surely a no brainer. We couldn't rely on getting him again this year so we signed Williams, but I see no problem in having 2 left backs in the sqaud. Bertrand is a quality player and we shouldn't turn down the opportunity, assuming it fits into our budget.

Chelsea will want a loan fee and the club to pay all his wages.

Even with out in side knowledge, their would clearly be enough teams after the lad for Chelsea to just name a price.

[Terminal Boardom]

And Sig can play left midfield if needed.

[Isaac Hunt]

Probably just lazy journalism from some hack that's failed to see that we've signed a left-back in pre-season.

Agree with this. Would love to have him back, but makes no sense as we have Williams.

He's a left back too - he'd do a job further up the field midfield if required, but not better than what we already have in left mid/wing.
