Geoff Kilpatrick Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Berra's a good player but when you consider that Jonny Evans is the first choice backup and he's a better player and younger, there is no way that Man Utd will be making an offer.

Is Evans much better if better at all.Berra is naturally left sided and has real pace both a huge plus for a CB.I don't think for a minute that if Man U where interested Ferguson would be thinking he had the finished article but he could certainly mould him into one.

Therapist Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Berra is a fine player but he is not up to the standard of Chelsea FC.

Evans is a cracking player and, at 20, is a standout in the Northern Ireland international team. It's no coincidence that Sunderland are far worse off this season without Evans in the side.

starcatcher Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Evans has to be one of the best prospects in the UK in any position I would say.

For a Hearts supporter you do a good job of convincing the rest of us that you are a hobo. If Berra, Driver, Larry and Bruno go in the January fire sale and we fall spectacularly down the league... we'll all be greetin/moanin of the crappy players we have left. Berra is recognised throughout the scottish football scene as a truly great prospect and being linked with Man U and chelski (albeit paper talk) is further proof of his undoubted talent. Shame some supporters can't see it through their maroon tinted glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not forgetting Mancienne, who has already made the England squad for his displays for Wolves whilst out on loan.

The Don Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 As has already been said if the likes of Chelsea or Man U were looking to buy Berra in January, they are not buying him to put into the teams they have just now, but as an investment for th future based on his potential. I always said when Berra first started out he had far more potential than Judas webster, the only thing that has hindered berra slightly so far is the carry on at the club the last couple of seasons and i think maybe he was given a little too much responsibility at a young age, but he is now coming through that, and his displays are now showing signs of the real player many thought he would become. If the likes of these two were buying him and in 2-3 years didnt become the player they expected they could still be able to sell him at a profit from what they paid for him. EPL transfers will always get more money that a player coming from the SPL, at the very least they would break even on him. So from their point of view its a gamble worth taking.

bighusref Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Ferguson was at the celtic game.Somebody has put 2 and 2 together and most likely have 5. Ferguson wasn't at the C*lt!c game, (or so the Sunday morning papers said) however I do not think that Berra is that high up on their hit list that SAF would come up himself. IMO, Berra has greater potential than Webster had. IMO Berra will do better in the game than Webster. WIll he go to Chelsea or Manchester United? IMO no. I do like him being linked with them though, it cannot do his value any harm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jambo Ell Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Yeah I agree with the opinion that they may be looking to buy the potential. Only thing is is that he's 23, soon to be 24 so not exactly the promising youngster anymore. I suppose what may happen is Man U or Chelsea may buy Berra then loan him out to a team in the same league or Chelsea may loan him to PSV as they seem to have a link up with them. Perhaps if he does well for the team he's loaned to then he may get a chance. It's all just ifs and buts at the moment tho. Really hope we don't lose him or Driver in January as I feel they are important players for us. Not too bothered about Kingston, he is too inconsistent.

He's only been linked to Man Utd by our manager talking out his arse. It's clearly total nonsense - Berra would be lucky to get on the bench for the Man Utd reserves and anyone who thinks otherwise really needs their heads examined. Berra's a slightly above average SPL player - no more that that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
