Analysing the Transfer Gossip – 14th July: Part One

And Chelsea left-back Ryan Bertrand, 23 to make it a hat-trick of new signing.

Ryan Bertrand

What’s the story? Rodgers will know Bertrand from his time at Chelsea.

Does it make sense? Not really. I’m not convinced by the common thought that Bertrand is being groomed to take over from Ashley Cole at Chelsea so he could be available. However, Liverpool have the talented young left back Jack Robinson in development who could easily be at least as good.

Is the price right? Chelsea would probably take £4m.

Will it happen? 3/10 – Not sure Rodgers wants to give up on Robinson as the long term option to develop.
