SuperSAINT Posted 22 July, 2017 Share Posted 22 July, 2017 City have confirmed the signing of Mendy, so any interest they had in Bertrand has now ended. City are going to be a different animal next season. Let's not get too cocky. They still need a 2nd left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddisalegend Posted 22 July, 2017 Share Posted 22 July, 2017 Let's not get too cocky. They still need a 2nd left back. But I doubt Ryan sees himself as the second choice back up guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shance Posted 22 July, 2017 Share Posted 22 July, 2017 Let's not get too cocky. They still need a 2nd left back. Do you honestly believe that City are in the business of spending another 20-30 mil on a 2nd choice left back? Do you also think Bertrand is happy to be second choice damaging his England chances? There's no way City are in for Bertrand now after signing Mendy who is an excellent full back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSAINT Posted 22 July, 2017 Share Posted 22 July, 2017 Do you honestly believe that City are in the business of spending another 20-30 mil on a 2nd choice left back Well, they want to spend £30-35m on a 2nd choice right back, so I figure that they would.

Appy Posted 22 July, 2017 Share Posted 22 July, 2017 Can't see Bertrand going to be back up anywhere in a World Cup year, especially as he's been back up most of his career until joining us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VvD's fee started at around £35m last summer and kept going up.The suggested price is fed to the press by prospective buying clubs and is deliberately low to try to influence opinion as to the value and give the impression that the selling club are overvaluing. In today's market, he's worth £50m. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Albert Posted 10 April, 2018 Share Posted 10 April, 2018 If Rose is worth £50mil, Bertrand’s worth more Not to mention Walker... I think Bertrand is better than Rose. Selling Bertrand and using the money to reinforce in other areas doesn’t seem like that bad of an idea, assuming Targett steps in to fill the position. That is a bit of an assumption, especially if Fulham go up and we go down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKD Posted 11 April, 2018 Share Posted 11 April, 2018 In my mind, Ryan is easily England's best LB, probably even the best LB in the PL (not sure many more jump out as better?). at his age and the fact he's playing for us, he's clearly not worth £50 and £25m seems about fair - our hand is a lot weaker should we go down however. He's not had the best season this year (but then again, who has), but those of you saying he doesn't care / been half hearted etc.. don't have a clue what he's like as a person. FWIW, he does care and he has been giving 100% in every game he's played. He's been a great servant for the club and we should have let him go in the summer when he wanted the move after Puel ruined the squads moral. My money is on Rose going to City or United and Bertrand will go to Tottenham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saintwbu Posted 11 April, 2018 Share Posted 11 April, 2018 Rose has been pushed out of the Spurs side by Poch/Ben Davies and they’ve had a better season than ever, he’s been injured a lot, and it’s perfectly conceivable that Bertrand will start for England in the World Cup. If Rose is worth £50mil, Bertrand is worth more, simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Rose is worth £50mil, Bertrand is worth more, simple. Neither are worth £50m - probably about the same (£20-£30m). Tottenham will demand a higher fee than us given their status and that their chairman knows how to negotiate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at all, just posting for balance, try it sometime. You have no idea how much Spurs will lose or have lost from their transfer deals based on the same scenario as we have with celtic deal.
