Django 83 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Left-back doesn't seem like a position to worry about for at least another 8-9 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHOULO19 24,332 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 A fitting reward after being one of, if not the best player for team GB in the Olympics. Congrats to him; I, as a Chelsea fan, cannot be any prouder of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superblue 6,372 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 If the Champions League final start wasn't enough, this call up is further proof that the lad can achieve everything he wants to at this club. He has shown patience and professionalism and it is paying off. Hopefully an England debut next week will be a great boost starting his season and Robbie hinted today he will play a big part this season.IMO 20 starts and a few sub appearances will be progress from last season and give Ashley Cole both sufficient rest and competition. Anything more will be a bonus, but definately our future number one left back no question! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoSalah 8,886 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 What a 7 or 8 months hes had.

He played vs Sweden for like 20 minutes I think. Sturridge is in the squad too for the Italy game. CHOULO19 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FormerRussianSpy 163 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Nobody else excited about his goal today? Great piece of awareness and opportunism to turn it in after Pantilimon spilled it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Great moment for Bertrand to score his first goal for the club. 2012 just keeps getting better for him. Pleased for the lad. A future No.1 England left back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post! Tomo 21,751 Posted August 12, 2012 Popular Post! Share Posted August 12, 2012 This is the updated profile on the first page. Hope you all like, feedback will be appreciated, good or bad Name: Ryan BertrandPosition: DefenderNumber: 34Joined From: GillinghamFee: £125,000Signed by: Frank Arnesen?/Jose Mourinho?Age: 22Ryan joined Chelsea in the summer of 2005 from Gillingham, he has gone on loan to Bournemouth, Oldham, Norwich, Reading and Nottingham Forest. He has recently became a squad player for Chelsea and was on the bench for the FA Cup replay against Everton at Stamford Bridge.His debut for the Blues finally came in a 3-1 win over Birmingham City, where he replaced the injured Ashley Cole midway through the second half, it was however his only appearance that season.He was named in the 25 man squad by Andre Villas Boas for the 2011/2012 season but found opportunities limited under the Portuguese, only appearing six times, but it was when Roberto Di Matteo took over his Chelsea career and career as a whole really kicked off.When Cole picked up an injury, Bertrand started two games in the space of three days aganst Wigan and Fulham and produced solid performances both times, unlike Andre, Robbie trusted the youngster to fill in when Cole was injured or needed a rest. His best Chelsea performance came at The Emirates against Arsenal, where he completely nullified the threat of Theo Walcott and picked up his first man of the match, after that afternoon he was picked for all bar one of the remaining league games as Cole was getting rested and redied the FA Cup and Champions League finals.But his season didn't end there, injury's and suspension's meant he got a shock Champions League debut in the final against Bayern Munich but where most in his situation would be riddled with nerves, he simply came of age, performed incredibly in tanden with Cole to keep the Bayern right side of Lahm and Robben quiet and when he was replaced by Florent Malouda in the 74th minute he and all Chelsea fans knew whatever the outcome he done us proud. We ofcourse went on to win on penalties and made history.Following on from that, he was given a call up to the Team GB Olympic team, despite a poor tournament overall, Ryan never put a foot wrong in defence and came out of it with his reputation further enhanced.Now if all that in a few months wasn't enough Roy Hodgson has given the lad his first England call up for the friendly against Italy.A few days after that he came on as a substitute for Chelsea against Manchester City at Villa Park with the Blues 3-1 down. He scored his first Chelsea goal to bring them back in the game and make it 3-2, although Chelsea didn't bring the game back level, on a personal level it's good he got of the mark in Chelsea colours.
