OFFICIAL - PVA to Wigan on season-long loan

I would have hoped for a club/manager who would make him more disciplined defensively. His attacking threat is well known but at the end of the day a defender's primary role is to be sound at the back and it is this aspect of his play that lets him down even at Reserves level.

That is why i think he should play wide left as he has the pace and shooting ability to do it for us.

He will have the opportunity to learn a lot beside Caldwell and Ronnie Stam it's for sure.

Enough kidding, Martinez is a very clever manager and tactically he is also very very good. Several times I noticed he wanted his players to apply elaborated tactics in the game, no doubt that with huge potential materiel and even with a team which could be at his level he can do great things.

I can't help to draw a parallel between Moses and Van Aanholt, they are players with huge potential but who has to gain rigor in their play, consistency in a game etc... Martinez used to play Moses parsimoniously before allowing him a bigger time of play this season, it may be the same with PvA who would play increasingly for the first games before he would be near to be indisputable.

I see a lot of improvement in the play of Moses, I don't know why Van Aanholt could not have the same success

That is why i think he should play wide left as he has the pace and shooting ability to do it for us.

For me, all depends to this season ; it's make-or-break for Bertrand. I hope he will play a significant amount of games in order to convince him to stay.

If he stays, I think that the best way not to impeding the progression of Bertrand or PvA is to play one at the LB spot, and the second at the LM spot.

And I do agree, PvA should play on the wing because he has an enormous attacking potential but no defensive rigor whereas Bertrand is well experienced, is in perfect running tactically and is very well balanced between the attack and the defense
