Nigel Posted January 20, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 20, 2014 He is 3rd choice ATM, If their reported interest in Shaw is true it would seem he is on the way out. Its just to who? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get the impression Cole is on his way but if they do buy Shaw as Cole's replacement then I agree he'd be available. Hopefully he settles in well enough here to make us his first choice should that happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted January 20, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted January 20, 2014 I think he'll leave Chelsea, but if he performs well for us I think he'll go to someone better. I think our only hope of securing him permanently is if he really falls for the club over the next 6 months and wants to move here. Even then, affording him will probably be a problem.

Pez1974 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Really good debut, considering he had no time to train with the defence. I half expected him to keep being out of position (i.e. playing people on-side by being too deep, or being caught too far forward without anyone providing cover). However, I think the biggest difference was the effect he had on Delph, who always seemed to be the player asked to cover our LB's failings over recent months. The result was that Delph had a greater impact in midfield than hs has at times, and got forward more, making it harder for their midfield to dominate, and allowed the others in our midfield and attack to hold their positions.

AntrimBlack Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 At least Lambert and Lerner now know the standard of player they need to target. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biskitt Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I think Walker was always being groomed for the starting right back role at Spurs, I just don't think Chelsea feel the same way about Bertrand as they've only used him in 2 Carling Cup games and 1 premier league game all season. My biggest worry is that he puts himself in the shop window for another team to come in for him. Southampton ( if they sold Shaw ) or Liverpool ( How bad was Cissoko for then on Saturday, horrendous ! ) would be likely suitors. There's a lot of good English left backs around at the moment aren't there ? Cole, Baines, Gibbs, Shaw, Rose, Bertrand. Definite strength in depth there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definite strength in depth there Also, the ages and stages of their careers make this a different situation too. Walker was very young when he played for us (I'm guessing circa 20). He did not have a massive amount of big game PL experience at that stage - we gave him that. Bertie is different. He's 24, has played a lot of games for Chelsea (incl champs league), but is not favoured by the new manager (Mourinho). I have few doubts that he'll be available in the summer, at the right price, but the danger would be the posse of clubs queueing up to get him.

ArteSuave Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 People forget that Chelsea have another left back out on loan. Patrick Van Aanholt. Chelsea could qualify for Europe using a squad made up entirely of players currently out on loan. Its ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packoman Posted January 27, 2014 Share Posted January 27, 2014 Richard Wilford @wilfordwm 18 mins Ryan Bertrand tells @sportbbcwm he asked #cfc for a loan move and was eager to work with Paul Lambert at #avfc. Richard Wilford @wilfordwm 6 mins Bertrand also accepted he'd consider a permanent move to #avfc if things go well during the loan spell. @sportbbcwm 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
