Ryan Bertrand

Absolutely. He was brilliant against us in the champions league and is still only 20. Only negative is he isnt very tall but he is quick and has a great touch. Dont know what he is like defense wise but he seems to have a "never give up" attitude which would fit with Peps mentality.

Why not just give Angelino a run? Just as quick, small and probably even better in an attacking sense, not great defensively but doesn't give up either.

But why do you think Angelino will be anywhere near good enough? He's underwhelmed at NYC, Girona and Mallorca. It'd be great to see him make the grade but there's been very little evidence to suggest he's worth a place in our side when he couldnt hold his own elsewhere. He's gone to Breda now and I'd say this pretty much his last chance to impress. Can't see it happening myself.

Because his loans suggest he's absolutely miles away from the required standard. We think too highly of the majority of our youngsters, at the level we're at now, we have to accept the vast majority of players in the academy will not be good enough to even push for a squad place in our first team. We won't sacrifice quality is the message Pep and khaldoon keeps giving us and it's absolutely the right approach for a club that wants to win everything.
 
Surely after last night our biggest need is another LB. We will not get away with just 3 all season, just 2 games in and we're short of options already. Sane isn't the answer and it was all there for us to see last night. Bertrand is a must, he's got the defensively qualities we need and an at King threat as well. Best £40 mill we could spend at this stage of the transfer window.

This 100%, we didn't make it to two whole matches played before it became a problem, to have ONE FULLBACK in the entire squad and not even kids to call on for only the third match of the season is laughable. A LB or at very least a left footed CB who can fill in there is absolutely vital.
 
30m will be enough. Get it done.

Mendy had some injuries last season. We have no back up for him. Sane is terrible there and Danilo's left is simply not good enough.

Much better value than signing Evans.

30m wont be enough. southampton would ask around 50m this late in the window.

Bang on, we've managed to put ourselves in the same position with Bertrand as we did with Walker after Alves stitched us up, Soton know we are desperate now and have us by the bollocks.
