UHDrive Posted 27 May 2021 Share Posted 27 May 2021 26 minutes ago, Ric Flair said: He's not in his prime is he, come on. But as a solid squad player he's useful. I'd agree he'd be useful but part of me thinks he's just after his last pay cheque. Johnny Evans with his contract was genuinely thrilled but I can't see Bertrand with that kind of enthusiasm from what I've seen of him over his career. Never been a fan of his personally.

JohnnyB Posted 27 May 2021 Share Posted 27 May 2021 Danny Rose is out of contract in June. Ex England international and he's two years younger than Ryan Bertrand. Could provide a steady hand to guide Luke Thomas through the next year or so. Might be worth a look. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God no, Bertrand is a much better player at present and more importantly a much better professional. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerard Posted 27 May 2021 Share Posted 27 May 2021 2 hours ago, Leicester_Loyal said: I think that's the thinking of the club, hence it's a free signing rather than spending 25-35m on a LB, we'll probably do that in a year or two if Thomas isn't progressing as much as we'd like or we decide a player becomes available that's hugely better than Thomas. I think he adds valuable experience, much needed with Morgan and Fuchs leaving the club. Plus, with JJ injured, we'll only have 3 full backs (one being Ricardo who is probably stilll months away from being back to his best) for the first half of next season, where we'll be competing in four competitions (five if you include the one off Community Shield), we'll definitely need another option. He'll surely be more than good enough for the early cup games, EL games against lower opposition and the occasional EPL appearance or sub appearance. Also fits into a back 4 or 5, so can play both our systems! I believe signing him will mean that the money we'd spend on a LB will be invested into another position. Even if we don't sign him, we'll go for another LB that's cheap for a year or so, unless someone who we genuinely believe is class becomes available. Good post. JJ was absolutely outstanding (no exaggeration) until his injury. Thomas has the potential to be a top LB so signing a big money LB seems like overkill when we don't have an unlimited budget and need to buy in other positions. Gosens looks a thoroughbred of a player but there are a few negatives in the deal as it stifles Thomas, we could have a firing JJ back for Christmas, he's a WB and I'm really hoping we go to a back four. He's been linked with proper elite clubs so I don't think we'd get him anyway. Bertrand in on a 2 or 3 year deal sounds like he could do a real job for us. People are turning their noses up at a longer contract but would have said the same about Fuchs and Morgan a few years a go but even this season they had their usefulness to the squad.

moore_94 Posted 27 May 2021 Share Posted 27 May 2021 Don't really trust these guys but still... https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-leicester-city-agree-to-sign-bertrand-in-major-arsenal-blow/ Sources: Leicester City agree to sign Bertrand in major Arsenal blow Leicester City have agreed to sign Ryan Bertrand on a free transfer from Southampton, Football Insider understands. Bertrand, 32, has attracted offers from multiple Premier League clubs, including Arsenal. A recruitment source has told Football Insider that Leicester have been informed Bertrand has accepted their contract offer. He is set to join Leicester when his contract expires and will become the first summer arrival at the King Power Stadium. Brendan Rodgers is a big admirer of Bertrand and believes his vast Premier League experience will compensate for the departure of Christian Fuchs. Fuchs leaves the club this summer after making 152 appearances for the Foxes over a six-year spell. Bertrand remained an important player for Southampton this season as he made 29 top flight appearances. He has made 240 appearances for the Saints since he joined the club from Chelsea in 2015. During his time with Chelsea, Bertrand had numerous loan spells before earning a chance in the first team. Incredibly, he made his Champions League debut in the 2011/12 final as Chelsea lifted the trophy for the first time. He started as a left midfielder in that game but has rarely been used in that position while at Southampton. Bertrand has played as a defender on both flanks this season and adds more versatility to Rodgers’ backline. The defender also has six Europa League appearances to his name, something that could serve Leicester well as they again missed out on Champions League qualification. Bertrand leaves Southampton with a record of eight goals and 20 assists over 240 outings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dannythefox Posted 27 May 2021 Share Posted 27 May 2021 Don’t mind Bertrand you can see he’ll fit the style of play straight away. He will play a fair amount of games and it’s another decent pro for Thomas to learn off for a few seasons. Nice to actually see us doing business early.

TJB-fox Posted 27 May 2021 Share Posted 27 May 2021 How the f does a fella like you on Foxestalk have any idea what Danny rose is like as a professional. Clueless Youre either going off what you’ve seen on the Spurs documentary where he was asking to play, is that a bad thing? All players should want to play. or you’re going off him needing a bit of time from levy to get his mental health right. Does that bother you? You have about as much idea what Danny rose is like in the workplace as he does with you. 36 minutes ago, filbertway said: The guy who hates football and cries if he doesn't start?

I've not seen the doc, happy for players to argue their corner. If he wants time off to get his head right, same again. He's been quoted many times saying he doesn't really like football and you can see the amount he argues with other players on the pitch that he's a bit of a nob head. Not my cup of tea at all.

Yeah fair enough mate. I’ve got to be honest personally I’m not over-enamoured at the thought of signing rose or bertrand! Although Maybe it’d be good to have an experienced left footed leftback for a year or two until Thomas is up (closer) to his full potential. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he goes off and asks Levy about AC Milan who has to keep a straight face and tell him only Bournemouth are interested and even they're not that fussed.
