Even last season he was doing that. ---

Sort of, but clearly not able to do it all game, every game. ---

Very good player, but could occasionally frustrate. Played under so any managers during his time here it must have been strange at times. Someone will pick up a very good, experienced player but i do feel his time at the club had come to an end and i think he probably needs a move to get some mojo back. Good luck to him wherever he goes. ---

Perfect fit when he first came to the club. He and Tadic were on fire during his stay but Redders isn’t/didn’t give him the same service. I still haven’t forgotten that shite clearance down the line that nearly got us relegated though. Good luck sir ---

Fuck’s sake. If we knew Brendan was interested we could have given Bertie a big wedge knowing £25-30million was a few months down the line 😉 [Previous page](https://www.sotonians.com/t/the-ryan-bertrand-appreciation-or-not-thread/6097.md?page=1)
