Ha Bertin turned up for pre-season

[Da Man Clay]

Ive always thought Bertain was a bit over rated. Dont think we he will sign and I dont think we will miss him that much to be honest.

 

[Meade's Ball]

Time and human/ornithological war may have changed hands/beaks, but, if it were anything like my schooldays i'd be reluctant to turn up to the coast in this season as swooping gulls attack small people with chip-packets more than anything else during summer days. Bertin, i am guessing, is entitled to a plastic wrapper of 145g-fat-fingers at half the price of us normals (so about £2.12.5), so will buy them from a lunchtruck almost every day of the week at The Dean. That's just asking for trouble from a gang of 9ft sky-circling chip-lovers who know they can outwit soon-to-be-rotund athletes and leave the scene with ketchup and a brownness they can't identify on their feathered necks.

If people go anti Bertin just because he hasn't made his mind up then they are numpties.

How can he be a hero one minute and a villain the next. The guy is a quality player and if we get him it will be a REAL bonus but give him a break while he weighs up his options.

The club should have set a deadline...

He should have provided a response, yes, no, more time please by that deadline...

To ignore the club altogether is out of order, IMHO...

Can anyone pop down the training ground and take a look, see who's there?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Bit late now Phil - footballers don't train in the afternoon you fool. When would they play golf or get their bets on?

Where is it?

If it's in the university can anyone take a gander?

If so, I might pop down there tomorrow

 

[Barnet Seagull]

Pre-Season training or a couple of weeks more holiday- mmm, tough choice for Bert

 

[Yorkie]

Bertin gets "stuck in" incomparably better than either of those players. Without an Oatway or a Makelele, a player like Bertin certainly ain't surplus to requirements. Besides Reid won't be fully fit for months.

Reid was fully fit in April and wanting to play in the Sussex Senior cup but wrenched his ankle (his original injury was his knee) and so was out for six weeks.
He's fully fit now.

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Am I the only person who thinks with a fully fit Reid and Hammond (that would be my first choice central midfield) Bertin is actually surplus to requirements...

Can either of those fill the holding role as capably as Bertin?

 

[B.W.]

No...

 

[portslade seagull]

Am I the only person who thinks with a fully fit Reid and Hammond (that would be my first choice central midfield) Bertin is actually surplus to requirements...

I actually think that would be a partnership that would see us in a relegation dog-fight...

 

[blockhseagull]

I think Reid has played his best games for us on the right hand side of midfield.....game seems to pass him by a little in the middle

M Bertin was not there.
