and who's fault is that? his? we spot a player of potential but only have the gumption to offer him a super-short-term contract, probably on crap money. if he'd been properly scouted at the time and given a proper long-term contract (a la molango for example) then this wouldn't have happened.
good luck to him

I'm pleased at the news to a degree.
Shame he hasn't signed as would have been an asset, and won't get someone of his quality for free elsewhere.
However, with Reid coming back, and to a degree Charlie we do still have cover.
I'am pleased that we are now exploring other avenues before it's too late and land up with a last minute signing who quite frankly doesn't improve the squad.

El abd - will not cut it in centre mid and fraser is not good enough...
Without bertin in centre mid...we will struggle in centre mid.....reid is a good midfielder..but will take a few months to get back to anywhere near where he was.....It will not be strong until he's fully fit......

He's not good enough for the Championship. It speaks volumes when he has to decide between Belgium and us.
And still he hasn't got the decency to tell us anything. Tosser

He obviously has told Wilkins something or did he make up the top level team in Belgium.
I also believe he is good enough for the Championship and cannot understand the criticism some people make of him. To me he is a lower level equivalent of Makelele, breaking up play and playing simple balls (not going forward and shooting but allowing others to do it).

Sums it up well.
O well just have to look to bring someone else in as you can not start the season with Hart, Fraser or El Abd in the midfield and expect to challenge

And if he'd been shit, a la Turienzo?

... Which is kind of the concept of proper scouting; something we didn't do with Turienzo.

I agree that we need to bring someone in but not necessarily for that reason.
Fraser does have the makings of a good midfielder and I think we need to keep him but he is not ready to play every week.
El Abd did okay in midfield but I feel we need him as back up there and at right back and central defence rather than as a regular.
Hart is fine as a back up to Reid on the right but a midfield with the two of them, Hammond and Cox is too attacking. We definitely need a new Bertin if he does not sign. I would still welcome him back if he decides to sign but it seems unlikely and we need to look for new targets now.

Abort, retry, fail
Perhaps we wouldn't have signed him at all? Perhaps he didn't want a long contract? We are a good avenue into English football and I would imagine that he did not see his long term future with us.
