Popular Post foreveryoung Posted January 18, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted January 18, 2014 Liverpool found it hard work down the left side today with Bertrand there, good link up play too, not just back to Guzan everytime. Shows how poor Luna and Bennett are, proper footballer in today. Full respect to Bertrand 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted January 18, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) Dont worry, we will soon knock all this good play out of him so normal service can resume! Edited January 18, 2014 by Nigel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danishlad Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Dont worry, we will soon knock all this good play out of him so normal service can resume! If that happens we just ship him back to Chelsea on a month loan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaglint Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Was really weird to see a decent LB in the villa side. Honestly can't remember the last time we had that. While there is a chance he'd be available permanently in summer I'm guessing he'd command a few we would struggle to pay.As with Walker we've got to cherish him while we've got him.

GENTLEMAN Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I suspect Bertrand was a long term target of Lambert's. More signings like this and we will be back competing with the top eight soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno_2004 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Still doing a double-take that we've got him for the rest of the season.. bit sad really, I guess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAnty Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Was hearing tonight that Liverpool wanted him this window, but Jose wouldn't let him go there to make them stronger. Thankfully we got him, just a pity we didn't get an option. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVTuco Posted January 18, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) I love this guy. And I don't care if he goes back in the summer. He's now one of my favourites. He calms down our left side, which admittedly has been a suspect. Looks to have a good partnership with Delph too.

Supervillan78 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 Good solid performance, I hope Luna was taking notes. We HAVE to get him permanently in the summer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that happens we just ship him back to Chelsea on a month loan Is this our new plan? Loan good players from clubs make them shit and then send them back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I think we've got more chance of getting him permanently than we did with Walker. I really like Bertrand but I can't see him going straight into the Chelsea first team like Walker did. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then Lambert just giggles manically down the phone "HE'LL NEVER GO AGAIN HAHAHAHAHAHA!" then flies his Paul-Falcon off into the moonlight like a super-villan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condimentalist Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 You can tell he's been playing with good players. Very composed, knew when to go and when to stay. No panics. I'm not sure he'll want to go back to Chelsea if he's not going to be first choice. I think Liverpool and Spurs could be in for him come the summer and realistically he'd go there ahead of us. If not we could have a chance but it would mean spending some actual money and paying some actual wages. Remains to be seen if Lerner will do that or whether he wants us to keep clowning around with underqualified goons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa-revolution Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 It is no surprise that Bertrand is a `proper` Defender having been coached by Mourinho. He had Stirling in his back pocket & never once left any space in behind. I do hope we can get him permanently in the Summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grobs Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Merson was right about him today on SSN, saying that its a great credit to him that he came to us as many players would have been happy sitting comfortable at chelsea. Looks a quality player and looks to have a cracking attitude, really hope a permanent deal will be done in the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villabromsgrove Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Villa + Bertrand = huge progress. See how simple this game is Randy if you bring in proper footballers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Villa + Bertrand = huge progress. See how simple this game is Randy if you bring in proper footballers. I don't think that's fair at all. Some signings work out, some don't. This one looks like it'll work it out, but there have been others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
