Notts1874 Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I saw Berra play twice last season, not on tv but actually at the games. Obviously I paid plenty of attention to him. Folks on here are calling him slow....not true. Folks saying he's got no "Fitba"....not true. He looked commanding and was certainly leading the back line, which switched from a 3 to 4 in the game at Burton. Plus he was very very vocal.

Valentinho Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 I seriously hope Nowak is not an employee of HMFC next season. Hey "Hibs", give the negativity a feckin break for once.

TheBigO Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Wooooooooooohoooooooooooo!!!!! THIS is a brilliant signing. Just the kind we need. A leader. He's everything our team lacks when it comes to attitude and I doubt he'll be letting others coast through games. A couple more like this and then maybe a wee wild card or two and we're looking good. Love business getting done early too. If we do announce a few signings previous to pre-season, and they're the type we can all get behind, I think the last few months, tough as they were, can almost be put behind us and we can say, that was a mess, let's draw a line and let's effing GO!!!!!

Cruyff Turn Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Number 41 will be seething. Called a lot of people naughty names, for suggesting Berra may actually be a human & put family before money.

TheBigO Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Number 41 will be seething. Called a lot of people naughty names, for suggesting Berra may actually be a human & put family before money. The temerity. It's such a funny thing which I assume is modern thinking, but that footballers will ONLY go where they will get more money. It's no different to any job offer. You want to work somewhere you are happy at work, in a place where you want to live and many other factors like family will come in to it too. Money of course is important, but not everyone works like that to the extent people seem to think EVERY footballer does. I listen to Talk Sport sometimes and they were banging on about how much Harry Kane NEEDS to leave Spurs cos they can't pay what the bigger clubs can. Only Danny Kelly was saying that his family and job satisfaction may just come in to the equation too. It's a weird phenomenon to me, but then I've never been financially motivated!

Bridge of Djoum Posted May 23, 2017 Share Posted May 23, 2017 Eh, no. A former captain returning after nigh on 10 years plying his trade in a very competitive culture, who is also doing his coaching badges. "Gets the club" Yeah, you're at it. He may not be the answer, but to write it off immediately is ridiculous. I know this post has schooled you. Let's just leave it at that, "eh"?
