He's totally overrated - no positional sense, weak in the air and about a vocal as a mute pike There's been a big thread about this already. I think you're being overly harsh, but do agree that he's overrated - under normal circumstances, I'd think that at ?1.5-2 million we should cash in on him. As things are, though, I'd even like to see us holding on to average players like Berra and Driver, basically because I'd be worried about who we'd replace them with. Edit : Also wouldn't want us to sell him to Rangers for any less than ?2.5 million. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chad Sexington Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 This has been a strange close season. So many players being linked with a move away, hardly any players being linked with us. The sooner we get a manager in, who has a list of players he wants to bring to the club, the better. FWIW, I'd bite your hand off for ?2 million for Berra...regardless who's bidding.

Well we dont seem to be discouraging bids for ANYONE right now. Perhaps thats what he meant. I think Romanov would sell every first team player we had last season, get the debt down to less than ?15m and see if he cant sell us before he has to finally commit to building the new stand. If not he'll go with kids for next season. You just cant see an influx of quality players happening at all here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to be a pedant, but the same story stated that we have knocked back a bid for Driver! I'm not happy with the goings on at Hearts at the moment, the same as everyone else, but I don't see how Hearts can prevent other teams being interested in their players. As it stands, we haven't got rid of anyone who we didn't expect to be leaving anyway that I can tell. Fair play, if we ACTUALLY sell all our best players for less than their values, it's a firesale. That may happen, but right now all I can see are teams being rebuffed with their bids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could - although I specifically used the word effective. Kingston hasnt been as effective as Hartley. He had the potential to be better, but thats why the selection of players joining a club is so important, so crucial the manager is involved. Pinilla could have been the best SPL striking signing of the decade. He hasnt been and his track record before he was signed kind of showed he'd need to be strongly managed and would need to change his character to adapt to the SPL Who thought about this?

Quite true, but we're not even making any half hearted pretence, even for fans consumption, of wanting to keep our best players. Its not going to be in our best interests, even if we're selling at or above market value to have a clear out on this scale whilst there is not even a whisper of a manger coming or a list of players we might be targetting ourselves. Agreed that nothing has happened YET but the body language coming from Hearts at the moment looks seriously worrying for next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Sexington Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 We should sell Berra to a club in an unfashionable league. I don't know, say Norway or something. Then those nasty huns would never think of signing hi...oh, hang on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

magicTs Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 This story doesn't surprise me one bit though as both Rangers and Celtic need centre halfs. Rangers with Weir likely to leave and Webster constantly injured and a fair chance bids will be forthcoming for Cuellar and Celtic with Pressley and Balde likely to leave and Kennedy still struggling. The obvious SPL choice is Berra, who would absolutely jump at the chance to move to either and can be acquired for a fairly low sum and at least proven SPL capability. Makes perfect sense and a far better move for him than Championship football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Italian Lambretta Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 This is symptomatic of the way HMFC are at the moment. No stability, No Manager and No Rants from our illustrious leader. Rangers are now exploiting our weakness. Whether or not they actually want to sign Berra, Velicka or anyone else really doesn't matter a ******. The fact is that Murray & Co are now putting us firmly in our place. There is no way they would have put derisory bids for any our players 12 months ago. In fact I would go as far to say they would not have bidded at all. Really cheesed off at the moment with our club:mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cocobeab Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Hartley's contribution compared to Kingston's ? Surely not, PH hands down, in fact by a country mile. Well said that man. Off topic but hey ho, not denying that Kingston has more ability than any one else we have right now but he has sorely underperformed in the vast majority of games I've seen thus far. How much of that is due to him being a decent enough fish in a pond of **** is one for conjecture but there can be no doubting PH was far more effective and contibuted more in the maroon jersey. Regardless of wherever and whatever he's gone on to do Hartley was a fantastic player for this club for a long time. Can only hope Kingston emerges to be as good and as important to our success in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
