Hang on a minute...... Bartley's done OK for us. But surely nothing more? I'm a little disappointed, but our defence, of which he's been a big part, has been totally shite this season.

It's not the end of the battle by a long way.

Bartkey is our only player with any pace at the back. All he was missing was abit of experience next to him. Seem to have another manager who says we need height power and pace yet we go another way. yeh yeh arsenal recalled, did we not learn from Walker
 
I'll stand t be correced, but we concede soft goals week in, week out. It's command of the area that seems to let us down, not pace. IMHO.

Sad to see Bartley go, partly because he's mainly done well this term and it's good to watch a player who looks to have a great future in the game.

The main reason I'm sad to see him go though is because he's been an absolute credit to himself, to his club and to the Blades shirt. For a kid from a huge club who knows he's never going to be staying with the club to put so much into SUFC has been really refreshing. I know that should be the norm and what we expect but so often these days it's not.

My Bartley memries - Forest away last season when it all seemed a bit quick for him and every tackle seemed to be at a stretch, playing with a mask after breaking his cheekbone, getting stuck in in the Hull brawl, dragging the cheating **** Neil Sullivan off the floor and diving in to stop Quinny dropping Grant Holt.

Just seemed like a top bloke and a proper Blade. Lost the bit of reassurance I had that Collins might just manage with a quick lad alongside him.

Thanks Kyle. All the best
 
Thought he was on a season long loan with no recall?

Got to say I'm not that bothered, thought he spent to much time trying to be too 'showy', trying to look good rather than do the ugly stuff all effective defenders need to do. However, the signing of Collins isn't filling me with much confidence either. At a push Collins would have been ok as another body in the squad as back-up but now it looks like he'll be Bartley's replacement.

Agree with you all the way Alco, it's been sloppy defending (I'm including the goalkeeper in that as well) all season and it's that, that is going to get us relegated. Pace at the back is useful if the defender can read the game and knows how to defend, Bartley didn't strike me as that kind of defender. I'd take an experienced old hand (he can be as slow as an old cart horse for me), that can read the game and be dominant both with the other defenders and against the opposing forwards.

As we haven't brought that type of defender in, my money will now unfortunately be going on at the bookies for us to go down.
 
Well said cooper, Bartley's application and commitment has been exemplary, he's had more good games than bad and we can't have any complaints about him. He'll have a good career.

I completely agree with this. It's very noticeable how Bartley goes out of his way to recognise the fans after every match. He looks like a player with his feet firmly on the deck, and I really wish him well.

Whatever the personnel, the key here on in is to play a settled unit. We know it's going to be made up of mediocrity at best, but if eveveryone is singing from the same sheet maybe the silly individual mistakes they make can be covered for.

Might just the the difference in 3 or 4 goals being conceded or points being won.
 
Im gutted TBH as i thought Bartley has been one of our stand out players & with Morgan alongside him i think he would have excelled even more.

he has been the model professional & a credit to the club.

Best of luck Kyle. :(

I will echo every word of this. All the best Kyle III
 
Nice bloke ,big lad but still very raw ,not a great defender ,his record shows this. He may get better with more experience but will never make a premiership player.I reckon he will end up at either at Fulham/Stoke as a reserve or first team for Ipswich/Leicester.
Good luck to him all the same.

I saw more promise than that. Either way, our defence has been more penetrable than Elton John's ass. I can't lose sleep over the major surgery that it's undergone.

Won't beleive it til i see it, though wenger has been quoted saying if he wants to recall him then he is well within the power
 
The end of the Bartley loan can in no posdible way be compared to the dissapointment of losing Walker. Can't say i'll miss Bartley but anxious about the alternatives.

RANGERS have snapped up highly talented Arsenal defender Kyle Bartley on loan until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old has been on loan with Sheffield United in the first half of this season but Walter Smith moved in to bring him north.

Bartley, who can play centre back or right back, joined the Gunners in 2007 and has played just one match for them - a Champions League clash with Olympiakos in 2009.

He went to Bramall Lane last season and did very well. He rejoined the Blades this season and is highly rated.

He will arrive in Glasgow tomorrow but the paperwork has been completed tonoght.

For a lad of his frame he is to lightweight and his passing accuracy is poor. He also does not offer any attacking threat from set pieces. Can go for me without much complaint, he is also accountable for our joke defence of late.
 
I think I need a big dose of spin doctoring. I am gutted

It is compared in the timing
 
Its really good how we get our loan players we seem to leave a recall clause in all our deals apart from the Nossy one.

The fact he has not been recalled because Arsenal really need him and he has just signed for another club instead really really takes the fucking piss.
 
Gutted

Real shame to see Kyle go, I feel he'll be a massive loss.

For me, he really grew and matured away at Leeds.

Considering that he started the season with a broken collar bone and then went on to get a fractured cheek bone he's done well just to play never mind mature.

Been done on the last hours of the transfer window by the recall clause again.

I thought against Norwich that he was also starting to show some leadership qualities.

Our loss will be Ranger's gain, so i'll be keeping an eye on his progress up there.

Good luck Kyle and thanks for coming back this season!

Up the Blades, we move on....:(
 

I'm not annoyed that Kyle has gone because we wont miss him that much I dont think. The Kyle Walker like timing of it has pissed me off though. Who the feck do we play tomorrow now? Collins was registered too late so it will have to be Ertl and Lowry I suppose.

This should teach the club not to pursue season long loans from the top clubs because they're not worth the paper they're written on. They wont learn from it but hopefully this wont hinder Micky too much. Collins looks a very necessary signing now and I suspect they doubled their efforts to bring someone in because they knew the Kyle thing was happening.
