Has been for a little while. I think he will be a good addition to our side, a sort of old fashioned type centre half, which may also release John Souttar to play in a slightly different way as well. I think he can also learn much from both Berra and Souttar, although I'm still not sure how much we will see of Christophe next season. It might be something easier to judge if we knew that the injury he sustained is taking longer than expected to return to normality rather than something coming out to say the damage he incurred just may not be repairable (I keep trying to visualise what actually happened to him, because sometimes when you see a tackle or a collision you realise almost right away that serious damage had been done. Hopefully it is the former in Christophe's case and after a close season he returns as his old self.

I keep on harping back to what other ex pro sports players I know have said to me about Christophe’s injury. I didn’t particularly believe them at the time - I don’t know why - but it does seem that Berra is a different player since his injury. This does beg the question as to why he got the contract extension he did but as ever it is down to what the deal is and is it one that moves into coaching - as I happen to think Berra will excel as a coach, particularly as a Hearts coach.

He was immense in the three games before the winter break, we won each game 1-0 or 2-0 and the Easter Road match in between he seemed to be back to his best. Definitely seems to have been struggling recently. Maybe the two week international break will have reset him for the final portion of the season.

Fultons Right Leg Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Hearts will sign Craig Halkett on a three-year deal in the summer after the defender today signed a pre contract. The Livingston captain will make the move to Tynecastle in June once his contract at the West Lothian side expires. Centre-half Craig has been a near ever present for Livi this season, making 36 appearances in all competitions and has scored five goals, including one against Hearts back in December. At the other end he’s been part of an impressive defence that has kept 15 clean sheets this campaign. The 23-year-old came through the youth system at Rangers and, after loan spells at Clyde and Berwick Rangers, joined Livingston in 2016. He was part of the successful side that won back-to-back promotions, winning the League One title in 2016/17 before skippering Livi to play-off success last season, booking their spot in this year’s Ladbrokes Premiership in the process. Capped at Scotland U19 level, Craig has made 144 appearances to date for Livingston, with 15 goals to his name. Speaking to the Official Hearts website about the move, manager Craig Levein said: “I’m delighted that Craig has committed to signing for Hearts. “He’s a talented player and, at 23-years-old, is at an age where he can continue to develop and progress. “This club is the right place for him to do so and I look forward to welcoming him in the summer.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
