Bertin on trial at.....

[Rookie]

we going to miss him this summer, got no one to sweep up in front on the back 4 and give that bit of added protection

 

[The Large One]

Why am I the only one who doesnt really rate him?

Cos you're a MESS.

 

[the right footed denilson]

Hmmm. That's pretty shocking

 

[Basil Fawlty]

Unbelievable, if he joined a club in the French League. Then I wouldn't be so pissed off, but why the f*** Luton Town?! What have they got, what we haven't got.

 

[Superseagull]

What have they got, what we haven't got.

money.

 

[Beeneys gloves]

The games I saw him in, especially Orient away, he looked a very decent player who would have been the link between defence and attack this year.

Shame we havent got him, even more of a shame he chose Luton

 

[portslade seagull]

our midfield as it stand looks pretty weak...another season of toil i think...Bertin protected the back 4 quite well now we need someone else to do the same job otherwise butts legendary turn of pace will be shown up !!!!!

 

[Southover Street Seagull]

This is dissapointing news. But I am not really shocked. He is obviously looking for more money than we could offer. That's football I am afraid. There isn't much loyalty when players get offered better money at other clubs. The only real loyalty is from us, the fans.
I was told last season that his agent was saying he could get him better deals at Championship clubs.

Indeed.

I think El-Abd can do an ok job as a pure hatchet man, he doesn't have the timing, positioning, or class on the ball of Bertin though. And the other options are Fraser and Reid. I think it is the position that we most need to strengthen.

................and has been for some time. If you do not create from midfield you do not score goals. A good as Forster maybe if he does not get the service then he will find it tough.

 

[Turkey]

Well I guess we can well and truely give up on signing him now

 

[Storer68]

he doesn't want to play for us.

why should we be interested?

If we went down that route, El Abd would spend more than half the season suspended!

Luton sign anotehr midfielder

Luton have signed midfielder Don Hutchison on a one-year contract.
The ex-Scotland international, 36, was released after an 18-month spell with the Coventry at the end of last season.

Hutchison only played in 14 games for Coventry last term, starting three times, as he was restricted by a troublesome ankle injury.

He won 25 Scotland caps, scoring six goals and enjoyed spells with West Ham Liverpool, West Ham, Sheffield United and Everton among others.

 

[Icy Gull]

Have Luton had a windfall, or sold someone for big money? I'm not sure that they are well supported enough to fund all these players they seem to be acquiring just through the turnstiles surely.

Leon Barnett to West Brom for £2½m, bargain too I tell thee.

 

[Gritt23]

If he thinks a trial at Luton is a step up, then f*** him, I don't want the fella.

El-Abd did a pretty good in that holding role, IMHO, and he's Brighton through and through.

 

[B.W.]

El Abd is not, and never will be, a midfielder. He lacks the awareness, speed of thought, pace, and most of all skill to play in a midfield role. I quite like him as a defender, and would keep him on that basis, but never as a midfielder. We desperately need a new signing here.

Spot on! El-Abd is just not gonna make it in that position... RB cover is his role...
