I said fitness wise it's not looking for for him that's all I said. I just don't see a path back for him at this point. I never saus he's retiring tomorrow!

It's turned out a really weird deal all round.

Guest itude Posted 9 August 2022 Posted 9 August 2022 Ha ha very good ! I am sure that he will be very grateful for two years of free money.

Cincinnati Fox Posted 9 August 2022 Posted 9 August 2022 Again why did we sign him! I watched him for saints v us only and from that I knew he was not good enough slow and a poor defender.

Yes, I saw some of the Southampton fans posts at that time on their fanzone, they all seemed to know that. We didn't it seems ?? Very poor of us.

filbertway Posted 9 August 2022 Posted 9 August 2022 This whole Bertrand experience has convinced me that it's right to stick to what I see rather than be swayed by the masses who only allow optimistic thoughts and opinions. There's nothing wrong with a healthy dose of realism when needed

Nalis Posted 9 August 2022 Posted 9 August 2022 Torn on this one. We slag him off and I include me in that, but most of us again including me thought it was a shrewd no brainer signing. Flip side is that we are just fans. The board and recruitment team have more resources and knowledge to assess the value it would bring, or not bring in this case, so they arguably should have known better.
FoxesWalk Posted 9 August 2022 Posted 9 August 2022 On paper this made a fair bit of sense but it has turned out to be disastrous 3

I thought it’d be decent to have some experience, I didn’t know he was handed an £80k/week contract though. Seems madness.

That does seem to be happening with some for sure
