Leif 6,006 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 I say Shaw is better. I say Shaw is better defensively. I also say he is much better offensively. In fact I'd say he's the 2nd best English full-back at attacking, behind only Baines. I say Bertrand would be lucky to tie Shaw's shoes one day. lucio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jype 6,398 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 bertrand is nowhere near shaw. dont embarrass yourself. bertrand is a hard working but ultimately very average player. shaw is allot better. the stats posted clearly show that and in a far lesser team as well.The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, isn't it?Bertrand and Shaw are both solid full-backs with lots of potential to improve so why always compare the two? Personally I would've preferred if Cole had left after this season and be replaced with Shaw, leaving us with these two young English players Shaw and Bertrand rotating at LB but I guess that plan could well be delayed for a year with Cole's new contract running up in 2014. At the moment however, I wouldn't be taking Shaw over Bertrand. Not because I don't rate Shaw as highly as I do Bertrand but because the club needs stability and homegrown players. If we're going after Shaw this summer, we'd be better of loaning him back to Southampton for another year and then get him back once Cole leaves but getting rid of Bertrand and having Shaw as a backup till Ashley finally moves on would be nothing but a pointless short term solution and expensive too.

FabHazard 655 Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 We should buy shaw this summer and loan him back to southampton.After ashley leaves in 2014 we can potentially have two english players fighting for LB spot so that we need not worry about cole's replacement. Bert is a good player.I would wonder why he is not trying to dribble regularly ja1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'All I can do is to be ready and keep playing; keep biding my time. I'm thinking of nothing else. To be honest, I am just focusing on being No 1. I just concentrate on progressing in the games I get. 'I've managed to do so in recent years and that's the only target. You have to be able to compete. That's the way you develop at the top level. That's just the way it is, and it's the place I want to be. So I'm used to that.' Bosnian Blue and yuvala 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Brilliant, brilliant game. Some of the crosses he put in today were excellent, and the delivery for JT's goal was top notch. Well done, Ryan. Bir_CFC, pHaRaOn, Clevemayer and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueLion. 21,491 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 He's improving constantly. Let's see how this season goes for him, though. Of course, Cole is one of Mourinho's favourites - but one hopes José will never player Ryan on the wing. 10 games next season at LB is better than 25 games on the wing in terms of his career progression.

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 11, 2013 Share Posted August 11, 2013 He had some positioning problems in the first half (though not as much as Azpi), but was excellent in 'take-on's in the second half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
