A_A wehatethehibs Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Have to say absolutely take my hat off to Levein for this one. Full credit.

Lfhearts Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Agree with those thinking Berra will soon be back to his best, will always be in my first 11 before Halkett and Soutar and this signing hopefully means a flat back 4 in most games.

Robbo-Jambo Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Really surprised at length of contract and how we can afford his wages tbh. Quite unusual to be handing out 4 year contracts these days is it not? Naismith is easier to get because he will probably go into the coaching side of things at some point.

boag1874 Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 This could turn out to be an amazing signing. Suddenly we now look like a much stronger side on paper.

Well done to everyone involved to get this over the line. Length of contract easily explained. He is a better quality# of player than we can afford within our pay structure. By committing to 4 years’ salary, we don’t breech the salary cap but he earns more than we would pay if deal was shorter. # Not based on a call on his individual ability but based on a player regularly selected for a top 5 Championship team (last season) with International youth caps. Our wage cap should not allow us access to such players. My opinion. Risk? Yes. Worth the risk? Yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
