pinevillawill Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) ... set to make Champions League debut in tonight's game. League One to Champions League final in 4 years. Good luck to the lad - one of the better loanees over the years. http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/champions-league-final-chelsea-are-set-839172 Edited May 19, 2012 by excharnwoodlatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy_Fent Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 playing more as a winger than a left back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie_J Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Seems like a good kid. Has worked hard and progressed up the leagues, via loan deals, and now doesn't look out of place in Chelsea's first team. I remember a few Latics fans saying they didn't rate him, when he was here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pukka Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Started shakily and improved game on game. I remember being gutted when he went back (sure his last game was the 3-1 win at Leeds) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senor_Coconut Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Yeah, was poor to begin with but really improved as the season went on, gutted to lose him when he went back at Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Ah, the glory days of Bertrand and Eardley as full backs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikebOAFC Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Hope he does well, seems like a sound lad and has worked hard to get into the first team. Might have a cheeky pound on him for first goalscorer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 We won at Everton the game after he left. Can't believe he made it this far and Kelvin Lomax didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beag_teeets Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 We won at Everton the game after he left. Can't believe he made it this far and Kelvin Lomax didn't. Was it really that long ago he was here? Everton feels ages ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SholverBlue Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 (edited) ITV said he'd just finished his loan spell here And as for Lomax, I used to rate him till the Brentford at home game when he let cocked up and the fella behind me threw his season ticket on the pitch :lol: Edited May 19, 2012 by SholverBlue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc-latics Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Bertrand and Eardley have today played in two of the most lucrative games in football, wouldnt have had that down four years ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsPete Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Ah, the glory days of Bertrand and Eardley as full backs. When did it all go wrong for the two of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Latics_Fanatic Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 When did it all go wrong for the two of them? As with all players, when they signed the dotted line of a Latics contract Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 I remember a few Latics fans saying they didn't rate him, when he was here. So do I. Probably the same one's who were slagging Eardley off and perhaps Tierney too. On the 'networks' It seems they're clambering over one another to grasp at some form of success on the back of Bertrand's appearance. smh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the 'networks' It seems they're clambering over one another to grasp at some form of success on the back of Bertrand's appearance. smh To be fair, not a whole lot backed up Tierney. He was a late developer. No one really had a bad word to say about Berttrand by the time he left. Anyone who argued against Eardley is on a saved gambling list...

JonesyOAFC Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Seems like a good kid. Has worked hard and progressed up the leagues, via loan deals, and now doesn't look out of place in Chelsea's first team. I remember a few Latics fans saying they didn't rate him, when he was here. I hate this self-entitled, hindsight attitude of some of our support. I rated him, in fact I thought he was excellent for us, but he did start off slow, and fans would've been fully justified in saying they didn't rate him at that point. When he came to us, he was a completely inexperienced player, with no first team football whatsoever. I doubt once he got going there was fans saying they didn't rate him.

I was musing over the idea that he had Latics fans doubting him only four years ago and tonight he's a Champions League winner. Hate it all you like.

dave_ragg1984 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I remember a few Latics fans saying they didn't rate him, when he was here. When he signed, his first few games I thought he was crap. Looked a fish out of water. Then he got better each week. By the end of his loan deal, I was gutted he was going. Thought he would end up doing well for himself, but didn't think he would be a Premier League regular (which still might be the case) let alone a Champions League winner. Well done to the lad.
