Saint Garrett Posted 6 July, 2015 Posted 6 July, 2015 Had surgery in both knees this summer, will be out for the next 5/6 weeks. Almost certain to miss the start of the season.
S-Clarke Posted 6 July, 2015 Posted 6 July, 2015 Which was used to justify the need to sign this backup defender from Twente.
Shance Posted 6 July, 2015 Posted 6 July, 2015 Big blow. He'll take time to regain match fitness when he's training again as he'll have missed the whole pre season!
Wade Garrett Posted 6 July, 2015 Posted 6 July, 2015 S-Clarke said: Which was used to justify the need to sign this backup defender from Twente. Right/centre back.
S-Clarke Posted 6 July, 2015 Posted 6 July, 2015 Wade Garrett said: Right/centre back. Koeman used that to justify the signing. Maybe he can play left back as well, I've never seen him play.
Shance Posted 6 July, 2015 Posted 6 July, 2015 He plays RB, RCB and LCB from what i've heard. At least Targett will get a big chance now!

Pancake Posted 6 July, 2015 Posted 6 July, 2015 S-Clarke said: Koeman used that to justify the signing. Maybe he can play left back as well, I've never seen him play. I would assume the new guy would be cb cover freeing up Yoshida to cover Targett at RB
S-Clarke Posted 6 July, 2015 Posted 6 July, 2015 Pancake said: I would assume the new guy would be cb cover freeing up Yoshida to cover Targett at RB I wouldn't have thought so. He'll just add depth to the full back positions. Would imagine it will be Targett at LB, and Cedric at RB.
Batman Posted 6 July, 2015 Posted 6 July, 2015 so, Fortser Bertrand Clyne Toby Morgan not in the team that is too big a miss for a club like us not to have a negative impact
Matthew Le God Posted 6 July, 2015 Posted 6 July, 2015 S-Clarke said: Which was used to justify the need to sign this backup defender from Twente. Wade Garrett said: Right/centre back. The video is five years old (so when he was 20 years old and under), but he is used as a left back in this...

One of those have already been replaced and we have bought in cover for two of them. It was made quite clear from RK that the "Toby and Morgan situations" will decide our other transfer targets.
Batman Posted 6 July, 2015 Posted 6 July, 2015 hopefully, berts will be back in the side come end aug....isnt there an international break early on too? that will break up the season a bit
egg Posted 6 July, 2015 Posted 6 July, 2015 He'll be a loss, but targett is capable. Big chance for Josh Debayo to stake a claim too.

Appy Posted 6 July, 2015 Posted 6 July, 2015 Luckily we have a fairly kind looking start to the season, so Bertrand's replacement shouldn't get exposed (touch wood) too much.

Psh, not sure I wouldn't rather have a tough start to the season with games we were going to lose anyway. Having a bad start to the season despite a relatively easy run of fixtures is what will put us in trouble.

david in sweden Posted 6 July, 2015 Posted 6 July, 2015 OUCH......a bit out of the blue, but with all the other transfer gossip - this seems to have slipped under the radar. If ever Matt Targett needed a reason to perform, now he has the chance. We can't continue to see him just as " a former Academy lad made good ". He has a long term pro. contract and despite the difference in age / experience (with Bertrand) now is his chance to show what he is capable of. Koeman has said we need two players to cover each position, and Mattie's time has come.

I wasn't disbelieving him necessarily, I just wondered what his source was.
trousers Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 Saint-Armstrong said: He's made a comment. Bertrand said: "I will be back sooner than expected" Excellent news. Anyone remember what his original projected return date was?

Viking Warrior Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 I wish he would change his picture, it shows him still wearing a Chelsea shirt
Saint Martini Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 Viking Warrior said: I wish he would change his picture, it shows him still wearing a Chelsea shirt I guess he reads Saintsweb, he's changed it now!
Ludwig Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 Saint Martini said: I guess he reads Saintsweb, he's changed it now! Yes, but he's changed it to him wearing a Liverpool shirt. The cheeky ****.
VectisSaint Posted 22 July, 2015 Posted 22 July, 2015 Saint Martini said: I guess he reads Saintsweb, he's changed it now! Chelsea shirt on twitter, Saints on instagram. Koeman said originally that he would be back in training (starting his preseason) about the time of our first PL match, so was likely to be 2-3 weeks into the season before he was match fit, so maybe now a week or so earlier if he/we are lucky.
