Ryan Bertrand

[BlueLion. 21,491]

Absolutely agreed. PVA is not good enough defensively, we don't need another Bosingwa.

As for loaning one out, we have Ferreira to cover at LB, the guy is a defensive genius.

Remember when malouda played left back for us haha

[BlueLion. 21,491]

For the past 5 years Kalou has been playing for one of Europe's elite clubs, it's called the law of averages.

The statistics are misleading to say the least, his consistent poor performances & zero development since joining has been laughable. Give Kakuta & Sturridge the same minutes on the pitch and you will see the difference. Kalou has been incredibly fortunate to have played the amount of games he has here. Whilst talented youngsters were shipped off on loan due to Carlo's phobia of inexperience.

LOL yeah cos Kakuta did mint at Fulham.

That horrible Inter tie. Ugh. Bad nights, those.

On topic : Ryan has more than proved his mettle at the various clubs he's been loaned to. Can't imagine it would be anything other than disheartening for him if he's shipped out again. Be nice to hear AvB's words on the matter, though.

If leaves remain Zhirkov no real alternative to the Cole.

I hope to keep Ryan

If anything, it's PvA who needs to go out on loan. Betrand has enough loan experience now to be able to show us what he can do!

i didnt say

he didnt i was making the point that we still had pva who wasnt mentioned

[Aesthetic Relic 301]

Few rumours scooting around (Talksport/SSN) that he could be going to Rangers on loan after a conversation between AVB and McCoist/Durrant who are quite close to him (AVB) due to their time together while taking their coaching badges.

Apparently Super inquired about the possibility of taking some fringe players off his hands.

[We Hate Scouse 10,326]

Yeah, was reading the Scottish papers on the way back. McCoist apparently spoke to AVB about loan deals before and after the game.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Fair enough, Rangers are a top club so they can really give him good experience (like he needs anymore tbh)

Will also strengthen our ties with them.

[Madmax 9,219]

This better not be true. PvA yes, Bertrand no.

[Aesthetic Relic 301]

This better not be true. PvA yes, Bertrand no.

PVA would be ahead of Bertrand in the pecking order imo, so it would only be natural to see RB loaned out.

[eldo 868]

Deen-conteh?

[kongdaniel 34]

I have followed Bertrand for awhile now, since I watch allot of championship. I do honestly think he is premier league class now. And should be our second choice at left back!

Pva is also a great talent, but I think Bertrand is ahead of him.

If anyone should be loaned out, it should be Pva.

I agree it seems like PVA is ahead of him.

[Tomo 21,751]

Like the thought of Van Aanholt as a winger, saw a few Leicester games last season and his defending was really a close eyes moment tbh.
