TheBigO Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 There was something on Sky sports about Sbragia hoping to conclude signing of "young defender" today??? 2+2= could be 4 who knows? ?2M + ?2M = ?4,000,000.... ?! I'd just about take that but be sorry to see him go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makateer Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 This would probably be better in the Gullit but just got a text from a Mackem mate who's in Australia believe it or not, and allegedly he's just received a text from someone he knows at the Stadium of Light - "Berra confirmed ?3m, at ground now" ............don't shoot the messenger, hope it's balleux! Yes, yes it would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBigO Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 ****e i hadn't heard that, had SSN on most of the day aswell. Being Scottish Sbragia could well have Berra on his radar, with Gordon's knowledge of him to call upon as well. Hope it ain't true but unfortunately really think it might happen. Is Sbragia Scottish? didn't know that. What's the Sbragia tartan like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamboPete Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 IF Berra is going to go to Sunderland, we should try and get a striker on loan from them till the end of the season, like Anthony Stokes or David Connolly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be surprised if we'd be able to get either of them as they both have CCC experience and would be likely to go their on loan with Sunderland looking for an eventual fee, IMO.

Walter Bishop Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 See they have a Peaknutt on there forum! Berra imo has the potential to be a quality player, 3 million is potentially a steal yet it is great money for us if that makes sense? Good luck to him and if he is away thanks to the mackems for once again helping brng down the debt!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamboPete Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I dont think it would have been out of order to ask for 4-5m for Berra. If it is to be 3m, hopefully there is some sort of sell on clause involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawrrrrrrr Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Srbagia was just on SSN. Stated had agreed a deal with a club for a defender and were just awaiting the phone call to give them formal permission to discuss terms. No names named obviously. Given they refused to go for ****tu because he wanted 20k a week though would suggest the deal wouldnt be as profitable as we may like if it is Berra My gut says Berra will not play tomorrow.

I think it's a decent move for him and if we get 3m, a decent deal for us. I like him a lot, great steady player and so powerful in the air, but I think with the money coming into the club, Csaba will be able to get in the players he wants. We've been hearing about McGowan for ages now so let's give the guy his chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N User Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I think Berra is definitely ready for the premiership although perhaps an extra 6 month at Hearts under Csaba would be good for him. That being said, I rate Eggert Jonsson so highly that I think he can slot into Berra's role. Donno if it's a good thing that a manager who recalls Paul McShane is interested in our captain. I'd rather play a 10 year old kid than Paul McShane at the centre half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lou Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 If we need too Sell Berra to raase funds then so be it, let's be honest we would have taken under a million six months ago, I would rather sell Kingston but that is looking unlikely, and we still have Eggert who is going to be worth a lot more than ?3M soon.

lou Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Six months ago Berra was a good player nothing more and there is no way we would have got any more for him, the transformation this season has been incredible, no doubt a lot of that down to Csaba Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been hearing about McGowan for ages now so let's give the guy his chance. Csaba said in his press conference today that if Berra went that he had a player in mind to go for immedietly. The original question was if we sold a player near the deadline would he be able to bring in a striker quickly enough( the answer to that was yes and then he went on to mention Berra specificly).

Martin_T Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I'm philosophical about Berra's potential departure to be honest. ?3 million is a good price and Sunderland are obviously a much bigger club than ourselves and it would be wrong to deny him the opportunity to better himself. Players come and go, what is most important at the current time is that Hearts continue to reduce the debt where possible so as to ensure the long term survival of the club.

Chad Sexington Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 He's improved massively this season so it will be sad to see him go.

Left sided central defender, has pace, but is not the finished article and would need time to adjust to the EPL.
