Lukaku and Bertrand off

Last updated : 31 July 2014 By Paul Lagan

While Romelu Lukaku's departure from Stamford Bridge gets all the headlines, it's Ryan Bertrand's loan move to Southampton that's should make every young Chelsea player, who is not a multimillion-pound buy take note.

Bertand was offloaded to the South-Coast on a year-loan, yet here is a player who is a Champions League winner being treated like a young upstart.

With Ashley Cole gone, Bertrand should have been given a chance to stake his claim for a left-back slot, but instead Jose Mourinho opted to bring in Filipe Luis from Atletico Madrid who, it must be said is not a Champions League winner.

The Brazill left back has not impressed on his three pre-season openers so far for the Blues and must be giving Mourinho some sleepless nights as to wether he will adapt in time for what will be a tough Premier League campaign.
