Bertrand is a good player.
If the links are correct, and I believe we have liked him for a couple of years, it will be him And Mendy.
Very strong back up.
As for the claims why would he, why the fuck wouldn't he, even in a World Cup year.
He started out at Chelsea, he backs himself and we are one of the biggest clubs in the world with the manager worthy of the name.
Strength in depth is the policy.
Good chance of Mendy ending up at Liverpool as it stands, hence the Bertrand reports (it wouldn't be both).
