Ryan Bertrand, his replacement, isn't too shabby either and it's debatable who would've been the better LB for us.
Of course. It was an emotional comment rather than a logical one. He just seemed more a ‘Saint’ than others to me.
Sorta understand your first comment but not really sure he was more a special “Saint”. Young & as I understand a bit daft / naive & obviously left to follow a golden road. Seems to finally found some maturity & hope he continues to flourish.
Its a tough one on Shaw - Bertrand has clearly been better over the past 5 seasons but who knows how good Shaw would have been had he continued his development at Saints. We all thought he was going to be world class and imo he left a season or 2 early - but £31m and Bertrand as a cheaper replacement is pretty good business.
