Boris Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 11 minutes ago, Irufushi said: That’s fair enough, I still think it’s time to move him on. Kind of agree, but likelihood is he'd go to Dundee or that sort. He did well there, so being pragmatic I'd keep him for this season, rather than strengthen (I know!) a competitor. At championship level he's still a player. I reckon he'd be fine lower premiership too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kenneth Dubeke Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 1 hour ago, Rick Sanchez said: It is a shame, even more so as he put his body on the line to prevent a Celtic goal. He's probably on a decent wage but it'd be nice to see him get a decent cheerio at the end of this season. Real shame. He was outstanding before his injury. A really good guy.

There’s no doubt Berra’s best years are behind him. Anyone thinking he’s anything other than slow is kidding themselves on. Who cares about his top speed, he’s not an 800 metres athlete. He done well at Dundee though so I think he’ll do ok. The semi against hibs is a different story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackOfTheNet Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) Tell you what though, if he is part of the squad “Skip” needs to be more skipper like. Too many times when we went behind he would just walk with his head down. No passion, no trying to get the players focused and certainly no arm around the shoulders of those who may have made an error, that was all left to his teammates. (To be clear I’m referring to Berra, just seen Naismith referred to as Skip on Instagram - I take it Berra isn’t taking back the captaincy) Edited August 7, 2020 by BackOfTheNet Clarification Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Future's Maroon Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I predict a min six goals from Berra this season, 10+ from Jamie. If both stay of course, which I would be happy about. We all have our personal opinions though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not recall, however CL making such a relatively expensive signing as Petric (was that a record at the time?) and getting litlle or nothing back for him. I repeat all, or nearly all, managers make signings who turn out to be dross. That was clear enpugh to all reasonable unobsessed observers. RN made a few poor ones as well.

Were we showered with huge offers? If we were, then CL was definitely wrong. If it was the only way we could get rid of him so be it. The point was, he was a disastrous signing and you and your tag team mate Crookie need to acknowledge that and front up instead of trying to demean others unnecessarily. As I said (nearly) ALL managers make signings that turn out to be poor. Instead of trying to be a smart a*se please say whether you agree or not.
