Zibi Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Ipswich have taken up a years extension on Christophe today. He would have been a good signing for us I reckon but it's time to move on and source new targets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elshin Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Always thought it wouldn't happen. We really could do with a 30yo Arron Hughes type next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigO Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Shame, aw Ra best to him though. Unless we have another lined up we need to keep hughes now. Was decent before injury. Could argue we need someone who attacks the ball better to act as foil to Souttar but I dont mind the idea of Souttar-Hughes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzas right boot Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Hughes another year, Berra to replace him in a year, Hughes as coach. My prediction. Nae use next season tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCarthy said. ?Whether there?s any negotiation over and beyond that one-year option, that?s for them and their agents to talk to Marcus about.? Has he had a chance to talk to them to find out whether they would like to stay? ?Chambo, of course [he would], but Christophe, it?s been well publicised that he has a commitment up in Edinburgh with his daughter and he?d like to be there. But we?ve an option on him. Read it more as McCarthy has taken the option in the hope that they either talk him round or hopefully get atleast some sort of fee.

Jamdub Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 IMO I do not think going back to a club at the age he is and money he can still make is ever going to work.

Dr Ian Malcolm Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Folk who don't think Berra would improve our defence are insane. Has been a regular at a good level for years, is no sliuch and dominant in the air. Left sided too, and would provide great balance in the middle of defence alongside Souttar. I'd be surprised if he isn't back next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snedds76 Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Strange. Must be happy with Nowak and Avlonitis. I'm sure they would've coped better against the might Lincoln city than Berra did, maybe it was just a one off but jesus wept looked like bambi on ice...terrible.

tian447 Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Was never really that keen on the idea anyway. He might be better than what we've currently got, but he's no superstar.

The Treasurer Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 If, as is being suggested, Ipswich are only looking to pick up a fee by doing this, then the club have to ask themselves, can they get better elsewhere for the same price or less. If the answer is no then, proved they are not looking for silly money, it could be a sound investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FarmerTweedy Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Could pay a fee for him. Or let them have Paterson and forego the development fee to get him Given that we're supposed to be due a development fee of around ?450k for Paterson, I don't think that would be likely. We'd effectively be paying a ?450k fee for Berra and I doubt we'd do that at his age. Also, it will be up to Paterson to decide which, of any clubs that want to sign him, that he wants to join.

Morgaro Gomis Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 I'd expect him to sign for Rangers in honesty, the only club outwith Celtic who could get close to his wages. Obviously hope I am wrong as I think he'd be an excellent signing. Brings the experience that Souttar needs, whilst still being at a decent age.

Jodami Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Signing Berra would be an indication of some understanding of the quality we really require. If he went anywhere else in Scotland it would be embarrassing considering how much noise we made in January. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
