He looked impressive in that highlight video, some of his passes were superb, and he was composed on the ball.

I really like the look of him - the very fact that he quickly closes his man down and is willing to block a shot with his body shows his courage.
His cross-field diagonal ball looks to be pretty good too.
If he can keep it up for the rest of the season and I would say we have ourselves a first team squad player next year.

Don't rate him. Did you see his tackle in the first few minutes of the last Old Firm? Was like a young Karl Henry!
Championship fodder for me.

no & no.
I fail to see how your question represents anything I've said regarding Bartley.

It wasn't as bad as you make it seem. Slightly mistimed, it was his first big firm derby, big atmosphere, lots of pressure and an inexperienced tackle.
He looks like a good prospect, tall, good tackler and can play our game he's really tidy with the ball.
On loan to Rangers can only benefit him, learn to deal with pressure of playing for titles etc etc.

Hes not fit to be in our squad
But Koscielny is world class, and Squallaci is the new Keown according to some on here.
Do me a favour.
Hes better than the Terrible twosome combined.

He's what we need, local English lads who would put their lives on the line to make sure we win cup finals.
