Bluesy1874 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Hearts through and through but ultimately it's the correct decision. Never really recovered from the injury he picked up in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HMFC86 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) Good servant and always gave everything. Massive reason we won a few derbies at Easter Road. Always put his body on the line. Sadly hasn’t come close to the form he had pre injury & will be a big earner, so it makes sense. Wish him all the best. Cheers Christophe!

lou Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Very sad, the right decision for the club but a great servant and a brick wall in every derby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscjambo Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 I think if he's not going to play it makes sense to let him move on. I think the body has given up on him a bit. The mind wants to do, the legs can't back it up. Respect him as a Jambo. A great servant. But I guess there's no room for sentiment. He deserves respect never gave anything but his best for the jersey in both his spells. Club captain. But can't argue with the decision from a football perspective really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

communist Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I still think he deserves a place at the club. He'd make a handy back up. Sad news but not unexpected given performances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peebo Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) I’m not surprised. Strangely enough, I actually thought Berra looked slightly better under Stendel than he had latterly under the previous regime. Still a liability, though, which was said to see. Suspect he might not be as easy to shift off the books as some may hope, mind. Not sure many clubs around who will be willing to pick up the remaining 18-month tab...

Bob Loblaw Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Not sure it's necessary to make him train with the reserves, he's never been the sort to cause unrest or anything.

Tennant's 6's Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Bad way to bow out, but it's been clear for ages that he lost a lot after that injury at the start of last season. And he's shown no leadership qualities at all. It's a shame for the guy, but it's good to see that bold, hard decisions are finally being made.

Dallas Green Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I understand this frees up a wage and he has been really poor recently but I still feel bad for him. Wanted to end his career here, his first season back he was outstanding but that injury against Celtic has ruined him. Hopefully gets a decent send off.

heartsfc_fan Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Best wishes to him if he goes this month. Ultimately he's not the player he was this past year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cosanostra Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Trying to think of any Hearts player that reached a certain age and just completely lost what made them great in such a short period of time. Maybe Jamie Walker. His form for the last year has been horrific. He was a great player, a great captain and a great guy. This is very sad but this years Berra is nowhere near the player he once was.

Spellczech Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) Shame for him, but he's been really struggling for a year since that Celtic Hamstring pull. Was really odd how he went from dominant to a liability so suddenly and unremittingly... Wish him luck whereever he goes. Could still do a job for someone but Stendel's style is not for him... Have to say also that the lack of apparent leadership skills in someone who was skipper at age 21 has been really weird...

Debut 4 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Why fear the future? Stendel obviously doesn’t and we’ve moved on from good players in the past to find new heroes. Too much fear has been bred into Hearts over the last while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlimOzturk Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Stendal is exactly what we have needed. Completely void of any history or sentiment to players of this club and that can only be a good thing. Levein became guilty of the old mates thing and was completely blinded by his loyalty to folk. I wish Berra well. Great servant and a really good player to boot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Canada Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) It's the right decision as he's been a weak link for a while now and it's obvious the injury has hit him hard.

Coco Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 If Berra goes as it stands we will have precisely zero players good in the air. MacPhee will provide the stats to show how many headed clearances are required each game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
