JoshLC Posted 8 February 2022 Share Posted 8 February 2022 Hope the club make it clear that themselves and Bertrand will be going separate ways in the summer. I also thought he'd be a decent back up much like Fuchs was but it would be disrespectful to Fuchs to put him anywhere near his level in reality. Hasn't really given a toss about putting in a shift for any game and just used to amble back every time in transition. Think I saw something like we had 1 win in his 9 starts for the club. Doesn't help that the backline he's alongside has been dross as well though. God what an awful, awful signing he has been. And to give him number 5 as well... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomek Posted 8 February 2022 Share Posted 8 February 2022 Don’t forget, Brendan will be in charge of overhauling the squad come summer. based on recent signings, I dread to think of the money we’ll waste. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I actually think this is the main reason to get rid of Brendan. signings like old Ryan B, Jannik V and Ayoze P are absolutely heinous. Bertrand managing to stand out as the worst of a bad bunch. Agree with the poster about giving him the 5 shirt! 95 would be more appropriate! Surely we didn't think he'd be first choice. My god.

Ross 'LCFC' Turner Posted 8 February 2022 Share Posted 8 February 2022 Its signings like this that scare me for the 'rebuild' because he was never going to feature for the remainder of the season anyway. On Sunday, we had Perez, Vestergaard & Soumare on the bench, over 50 million pounds worth of players that he signed who cant even get on. Dennis Praet shipped out on loan. Its all well and good talking about a rebuild, a clear out, the lack of investment but when YOUR signings aren't good enough to improve the first team and have an impact, its no wonder our first team has gone stale. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoboFox Posted 8 February 2022 Share Posted 8 February 2022 See him through the surgery and rehabilitation, then release him. No hard feelings, but it has been a pretty disastrous signing for both parties involved. Give him a chance to see out his playing days elsewhere, and we free up a place in the squad and on the wage bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turlo Posted 8 February 2022 Share Posted 8 February 2022 This injury will make it even harder to get rid of him in the summer as he'll only just be returning to full training when the transfer window opens up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudio Fannieri Posted 29 July 2022 Share Posted 29 July 2022 Hopefully this is concluded soon with the announcement of his retirement and then that frees up a squad space and significant wage budget. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plz explain?😊 Whilst I am an insurance broker (for ships not sports related) my take on this would be, if he is deemed unfit to play again, the Insurers should cover his salary until the end of the contract period, subject to any agreed excess - i.e. as with car insurance, the Club must pay the first month or months depending upon what was agree between LCFC and the underwriters. If however, medical experts say he will be fit to play before the scheduled contract end date, then it is a case of negotiation with all parties with Club no doubt contributing something ‘If’ we are looking to cancel the contract. I suspect Bertrand will not agree to losing a chunk of his future wages despite doing a ‘Matty Smith’ for the past months. But I doubt many players would agree to taking a hit. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An experienced pro to support Thomas down the left, whilst we brought back Ricardo and Castagne from injury and surgery, with JJ out till Xmas. Turned horribly with him catching Covid and then ruining his knee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filthyfox Posted 29 July 2022 Share Posted 29 July 2022 Its a real shame, as I always rated him. Maybe he will have a half decent season as backup Its game over for his Scummer Mate Vestergaard, he is just shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
