Pliskin Posted 1 July 2021 Share Posted 1 July 2021 Very shrewd signing. Our Achilles heel has been losing too much experience in the back to injury. He’s consistent and vastly experienced. The type of signing we needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post JamesfromlondonLCFC Posted 1 July 2021 Popular Post Share Posted 1 July 2021 This strikes me as another Jonny Evans type signing. Could look back on this next year and think we've had another moment of genius 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gevans_97 Posted 1 July 2021 Share Posted 1 July 2021 Shrewd signing. Given the way that Ricardo has been eased back into the team I can't see JJ playing much at all this season, even when he gets back in the new year. Gives us depth and an experienced pro on a free. No complaints whatsoever from me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone was saying that Romano's contacts come from the agent side of things. May just be a case of him not having the same working relationship with agents here that he does abroad so the info wasn't concrete. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingfox Posted 1 July 2021 Share Posted 1 July 2021 Sensible business, after last season, more experience in the squad for this season is vital, Rodgers said that himself. Hopefully an experienced CB or CM follows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the theory about signing one of Gosens/Berardi is correct then Fab is probably keeping quiet so that he can announce the Berardi one as a big exclusive shortly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xen Posted 1 July 2021 Share Posted 1 July 2021 Solid option, another experienced head in an otherwise pretty young back line (especially when Evans isn't playing), and you'd imagine he'd be content with limited minutes as and when Thomas/JJ are challenging for the spot. Certainly good enough for a Europa league squad. Gosens would have been an amazing signing, but keeping everyone happy whilst also giving our youngsters the opportunities they need to keep developing would make him a difficult one to accommodate with the rest of the squad. Besides, spending big on a full back would've taken funds away from other priorities this summer. Very happy with this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanSP Posted 1 July 2021 Share Posted 1 July 2021 Shrewd signing. On a free so can't complain. Gives us the opportunity to focus on spending transfer money on other parts of the squad. Meanwhile we get a very experienced player to the back line and adds to our depth. Means Castagne and Pereira can focus on the right, Thomas* and Bertrand on the left. Justin as the versatile option as well. *Thomas will benefit hugely from someone of Bertrand's experience to learn from. Like Fuchs, Bertrand fills that spot. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deeg67 Posted 1 July 2021 Share Posted 1 July 2021 About as exciting as a kiss from Grandma but a solid signing on a free. A steady hand at the tiller who's probably not going to do much to win or lose a match for you, and (on a good team) a high-end squad player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Facecloth Posted 1 July 2021 Share Posted 1 July 2021 I'm still not sure of the benefits of this signing. I know we have had injuries at full back, but we have 3 very good, experienced full backs when fit and one very exciting young prospect. Bertrand is a left back, where 3 of the 4 can play to a pretty high standard. I'd rather see Justin and Thomas keep improving than seeing Bertand taking minutes off them and stiffling that.
