rickylambert Posted 22 January, 2016 Posted 22 January, 2016 With Man Utd now having no recognised first team LB available it seems inevitable that Bertrand will be linked. If the money was right would you sell, seeing as we have Matt Targett coming through?

If the money was right would you sell, seeing as we have Matt Targett coming through? I certainly would not and they will go for someone else anyway,probably a decent CB if anything. Shaw will be back sooner than expected I think and whatever they could get at LB would just be a temporary solution. Blind plays well enough at LB so if they could get Jones somewhere near fit or a new CB they'd have solved the issue.
shurlock Posted 22 January, 2016 Posted 22 January, 2016 No. Luke Shaw was one of, if not their best player before he got injured. He's better than Bertrand with bags more potential and is clearly United's long-term option for the position. Things may change if Shaw doesn't recover fully but they'll cross that bridge when they come to it.
alehouseboys Posted 22 January, 2016 Posted 22 January, 2016 Targett will continue to improve no doubt but I wouldn't like to rely on him as our first choice left back right now. His good performances recently have been more as a left winger.
Pamplemousse Posted 22 January, 2016 Posted 22 January, 2016 It's bad enough that the press constantly link players with moves away, without our own supporters doing it as well

Glassesbloke Posted 22 January, 2016 Posted 22 January, 2016 Trying to unsettle the team the day before we meet Man U? But in any case this press stuff becomes very more hysterical as the deadline approaches. I make it seven first-team regulars cited as potential departures by the press during this window (plus the Bleacher Report today saying MU should sign VvD). Clearly repeating 80 times that there will be no departures is still not enough.

St Chalet Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 £20m? Wow. United really are in a bad way. No academy and no long term plan. They may well beat us on Saturday, but they are ****ed for a generation.

But maybe that is not quite normal press.... The Daily Star is one of the few outlets where one can be openly dismissive - a rack record a mile long of random name generation speculation. If they really want to give us fifty ofd million quid for two left backs within eighteen months then good luck to 'em.
whelk Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 Indeed and amazing that even one person would buy the Star.i thought LVG was getting any money to spend money to spend any more as it would all be for Pep, Mourinho, Poch of whoever else gets linked with job.
Redslo Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 I also assumed that Bertrand had had enough of being overpaid to sit on the bench and moved to us because he wanted to play. If he went to Man U he would be on the bench as soon as Shaw is back. Maybe sooner if he has a bad game.
whelk Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 They'd probably play him on the right wing And give strict instructions to not pass the ball forward. Don't concede!
richardc Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 At least we know Bertrand will play well today knowing that its his interview game

All very confusing. Some papers have it that LVG will be getting no funds as well as him signing RB.
Guan 2.0 Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 If we win today, Expect to see Bertrand being played at LCB in the next England game.
Whitey Grandad Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 I'm expecting hat tricks from mane, wanyama, bertrand and pelle At 12-0 I still wouldn't relax until the 8th minute of added time.
Saint Charlie Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 If we win today, Expect to see Bertrand being played at LCB in the next England game. LCB in a back three is quite different to the LCB of a back two. Not saying he couldn't do it, but its a niche role.
david in sweden Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 At 12-0 I still wouldn't relax until the 8th minute of added time. that soon.......I think when they're walking back down the tunnel would be a good time to breathe a sigh of relief.....
Daft Kerplunk Posted 23 January, 2016 Posted 23 January, 2016 All very confusing. Some papers have it that LVG will be getting no funds as well as him signing RB. Wasn't Mane linked with Man Utd just before we played them earlier in the season? Wonder if this is a trend for other clubs of so...
