Just interested to see what people think if we resigned Ryan Bertrand back at the club.

Obviously we need another LWB with no cover for Alonso and personally I don't see Kenedy as the answer. He was in one of either Gary or Jamie's MNF team of the season so far and he's been very consistent for Southampton since he's signed for them.

Thoughts?

I never wanted him to leave, I think he should have replaced Ashley Cole, I don't want to sign him back though he's gone we made a mistake letting him go, but we have to move forward, we can't keep signing players for four times the amount just because idiot managers let them go At the time, we need to learn from Bertrand, matic, and debryne, possibly lukaku, and not let the same happen to ake, christenson, chalobah, cheek, baker ect.

As much as I'd love for him to return, I honestly don't ever see it happening. He didn't exactly leave the club on good terms.

He is one of the better LB's in the league but I don't think he's much of an improvement on Alonso personally and the amount of money we'd have to spend wouldn't be worth it imo. I'd rather just use Ake there.

I know a lot of fans don't really like the idea of signing James Rodriguez, I have to disagree with them my reasons are I actually really rate him very high, I think he's better than Willian and pedro, so will improve our team a lot, if you've noticed our average positions in a game in our 343 formation we don't play with actual wingers, or actual number 10s it's a mix of the both positions, they play behind Costa, but in line with the 18 yard box lines, now I know he's not lightening fast but he's pretty quick, and extremely technicaly good, he reminds me of David silva, and gives us real balance coming from the right side with his left peg, he was signed by a previous manager when Madrid played 4231 and he played every game, then a new manager came in and went 433 so he hasn't done bad at all, you would have to say in the formation they play he's not getting I front of bale or Ronaldo, each to there own but if we do sign him and he plays to the level of his first 2 Madrid seasons and World Cup 2014 level we will have a world class player, I hope we get him.

Personally I don't want him especially at the price of 75m for someone who is not world class is an absolute joke. Very good player don't get me wrong but I'd much rather wait till the summer and get someone like Sanchez, Dybala or Griezmann in.

Then again I wouldn't mind us trying for Verratti with that figure and go 3-5-2.

Yeah I'd would prefer veratti and 352, I don't think we got much chance of getting the 3 players you mentioned, so I don't really see them as realisrltic at the moment so I don't want throw names around otherwise we should ad messi and Neymar and bale and Ronaldo, who are all better than him, I don't know if we will sign him or not, all the tabloids seem to think he's on his way, I don't like to think about the money side of football, but if we get close to 50-60 million for Oscar then I don't see a problem of signing a player for 10 million more, I would be over the moon if we signed him.

I think Pedro and Willian are playing well enough that we can wait til the summer and reassess our options then.
