Saints foreva Posted 20 August, 2017 Share Posted 20 August, 2017 Yeah, had someone in a pretty clear headlock. He struggled. Although I still don't quite get the booing towards him. I didn't understand the booing either. It got even weirder when Antonio was applauded off the pitch too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simo Posted 20 August, 2017 Share Posted 20 August, 2017 TBF though Bertrand was one of our best players against Swansea last week Probably been told Vvd is being allowed to leave but he's staying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 20 August, 2017 Share Posted 20 August, 2017 Or maybe Bertrand wasn't fully recovered after his knock against Swansea? Fit enough to play just not at 100%? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saint-crinny Posted 20 August, 2017 Share Posted 20 August, 2017 Maybe Bertrand just had an off day - happens sometimes. I thought he was very good against Swansea. We can't decide people are leaving, want out, hate it hear, hate the manager, have had their head turned, every time they underperform or don't do a full lap of appreciation.

We can't decide people are leaving, want out, hate it hear, hate the manager, have had their head turned, every time they underperform or don't do a full lap of appreciation. He was quite poor yesterday, no doubt. Maybe it was partly due to the injury he picked up against Swansea, though you would wonder why he played if he was still feeling the effects, McQueen or Targett could have ably deputised. But why he switched off completely for their goal is hard to understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
East Kent Saint Posted 20 August, 2017 Share Posted 20 August, 2017 Bertrand can be a good player but he needs to be mentally right on the day. Not saying his head is turned just that he needs to think the team is working with him. It could be the reason Chelsea let him go after unsuccessful loans .

angelman Posted 20 August, 2017 Share Posted 20 August, 2017 Conte has got his sights on the Southampton defensive trio Virgil van Dijk, Cedric Soares and Ryan Bertrand - who started his career at Stamford Bridge. The trio could cost as much as £150 million but face competition from Liverpool for van Dijk and Bertrand while Soares is believed to also interest Spurs. http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/843367/Chelsea-Transfer-News-Antonio-Conte-Virgil-van-Dijk-Cedric-Ryan-Bertrand-Danny-Drinkwater Maybe our new owner will be open to a bid of £210m for the 3?

Even though it won't happen obviously, ripping the team apart a week and a bit before the end of the window, but £150 million is actually close to the valuation I'd expect for the trio, £40 million each on the full backs and £70 million on VVD. Still, won't happen. Seriously are we the only team with players that can play for the top 6 in the World? I'd still love VVD to stay and buckle down but I don't think we've seen the end of this saga yet. Bertrand and Cedric will just have to wait another year...

Bermuda Saint Posted 20 August, 2017 Share Posted 20 August, 2017 Really need VVD back playing again as he will bring calm back to our team. Lacked a true leader today and I do think he is priceless for us. What a pilchard you are! VVD is a disgrace, he went behind our backs to move to the club we hate the most, he is refusing to play, yet keeping his pay smugly as he tiptoes the rules, training but no playing! How can you trust him! every mistake he will make i will wonder if he did it on purpose. Does this man live in Southampton? can you see him at the training sessions or driving too and fro from the ground? where are our supporters who will bleed for this club! not asking for violence, NEVER, but rattle the mans cage (it is probably a penthouse), !@#$ off signs, some choice banter! a tossed rotten egg (like him). We are way to soft, Lalla, Fonte and vvd deserve our best efforts to make them feel like the ****s they are! would love to see the Liverpool bus "held up" like MANU had a while back. Where are my hardass shipyard mates, you all turned into sunnyside tourist? If I had the money I would let him see out his contract, 6 years of VVD bashing, would make any other sleaze movers think twice. Saints MARCH ON, and over, anyone who want to screw our club!

I always did like King Kev myself, even if he is before my time. Listening to the whole thing and Keegan spoke with real sense. Listened to 606 on Saturday and a Liverpool fan came on and said 'With Cortinho playing for us we will win the league and without him our the replacements for him we will win the league.' What a arrogant ****. Then a Saints fan came on and quite frankly he could not get his point across and when asked to explain it he struggled before apologising and then saying the ****e word before getting cut off.

derry Posted 21 August, 2017 Share Posted 21 August, 2017 Liverpool reported saying that if they don't get VVD they won't be signing an alternative. that's them screwed then. As we weren't going to sell to them anyway that as sure as hell would make sure. I suppose they are going to spend the rest of the season tapping him up for us to then sell him to somebody else. Why don't they give it a rest we aren't going to sell him to Liverpool. I be surprised if LFC, VVD and the agent haven't been informed that we won't sell him to them. All the agitation by the ex players etc is desperation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
