I can tell u both celtic and rangers were interested in berra but as Christophe had made his money with wolves Ipswich etc money wasn't an issue also as Craig Levein brought Christophe to the club as a youngster he knew who he was working for rangers were a mess with no real vision or stable team Gerrard has improved that and celtic are the sort of team that would have him on the bench after a couple of bad games he was also offered to be captain if he came back which he is very proud to be.

Got to assume this is connected to that incident when he trashed his flat whilst being filmed. It’s only a matter of time before clubs have to employ a full time shrink to monitor their younger players off the field lifestyle and social media activity. Cummings is just another example of a brainless young footballer with too much ego and money who is going to screw up his career for the sake of trying be a big shot.

Robbo51 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Berra was 100% a Celtic fan growing up(source a member of his family who took him to Celtic games as a kid). He is definitely a hearts man now a days though. Most professional players follow teams they've played for and move away from teams they support as a child.

We've lacked pace for years. Why it's not been addressed is as infuriating as it is bewildering Driver was a real pace outlet. Especially on a big pitch. That's exactly what we were crying out for in the league cup semi final. Pace and intent. Mulraney has the former but not yet the latter. He's one I might be looking to loan out for second half of the season.

Beast Boy Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Just now, Jim Weir said: We've had very few quick players in the post Administration era Probably no more or less than any other club. The problem is finding the balance between fast and good. No point in signing an absolute flying machine, if he’s not that good at anything else. The wages that we can afford to offer tend to mean we can either sign really fast but not great or really good but not really fast. Then a whole glut of players who fall somewhere in between. The really fast and really good players can earn vastly more money at other clubs. We can produce them, and we can get lucky on a fast and skilful player who has other issues like injuries or mental issues that have held them back, but the difference in what we can afford to pay compared to other leagues, stops us being able to get both on a regular basis. Sow has a very fast turn of pace, and was very skilful, but his injury history made him a risk. Thankfully the risk paid off. Carrick was one of our own. Mulraney is very fast but he isn’t a world beater ability wise. Plenty others who can shift, but don’t leave fire on the pitch when they do, but I’d rather have a good player who simply isn’t slow, than a speed machine who is shite.
