You have Cole and Lahm. Then you drop down to Marcelo alone. Then, you don't drop so much as freefall several thousand metres down to Pereira, Evra ( ), Cissokho, Assou-Ekotto, and a whole host of other rubbish. And beneath all them are the up and coming youngsters like Bertrand, through sheer virtue of inexperience. If we sell Cole we'll have to look at the third tier of left backs, there's no way we're signing Lahm or Marcelo. What you are saying would have made perfect sense if we had someone who could step in right now and perform as well as Cole has over the years; and I just don't think Bertrand is quite there yet. We need to give him another 2, maybe 3 seasons as an understudy. He'll still get plenty of exposure, perhaps 10-25 games a season.
