Everybody loves Baz Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 A move i think he will end up regretting, Wolves won't go up this year and Christophe will be forgotten about. Good luck, but you've made the wrong choice in club:o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gabriel Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Shame to see our captain leaving, but we need to keep moving players onwards (arguably upwards in this case should Wolves secure promotion) if we are to attract younger players who want to improve. I hope we are going to utilise our own players now and promote from within rather than bring in another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12XU Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Take it he will be at the game v Watford today...they typically have 22k+ watching home game The fact he is going means - offer must be in the correct range - Berra must be interested - no other club has made an offer which matches Wolves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiberius Stinkfinger Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 A daft move by Berra if he agrees to sign. The Championship in England is not a step up from the SPL & a fee of ?3 million ish will not get him on the gravy train that the EPL players are currently on. Good luck Christophe.

Cat Stevens Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Very disappointing.

NYC-Hearts Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Just a thought.... This news may now encourage a few of the supposedly interested EPL teams into making an actual bid. I suspect that this is what HMFC aimed for once Wolves put the bid in...An asset needs to be sold, and a bidding war is needed. Let's just hope a) we receive more than ?2m initially and at least a portion of that payment is reinvested in the team. I'm doubtful with respect to "b)", however.

Let's hope he sees sense and hangs fire. But money talks I suppose. The thing is though players can have one decent season in the Championship and be off to the EPL for ?5m.Teams promoted to the EPL especially have a habit of spending big on Championship players so Berra even if Wolves don't get promotion could still be in the EPL next season if he stands out.

portobellojambo1 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 We always knew players would move on, it is how the football world works, players come in, players move on, new players are either promoted or arrive. In Christophe's case I agree with those that believe Wolves are not the right club for him, to me Berra, at this time, has the potential to eventually slot into a team around the middle of the EPL, who are likely to stay there. From there he could move on after establishing himself. Still a lot of games to be played before it is certain Wolves will go up automatically, from the limited amount of football I have watched from that division via TV Wolves ain't one of the two best teams in that league, they could miss out, as could Christophe. Suppose a lot will depend on how much he is looking to get financially, not certain this is a done deal yet. Much prefer if he were in the centre of the defence going to Hamilton today. I would prefer to see Hearts build a team than sell it and start building again, not the best basis on which to try and compete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JamboRobbo Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 We always knew players would move on, it is how the football world works, players come in, players move on, new players are either promoted or arrive. Agreed. Will feel we've sold cheap if he's leaving for less than 3M tho. In Christophe's case I agree with those that believe Wolves are not the right club for him, to me Berra, at this time, has the potential to slot into a team at the middle end of the EPL, who are likely to stay there. From there he could move on after establishing himself. On the other hand, it maybe gives him a chance to adjust to playing the top championship sides before moving up to the premiership. It's only mthe championship, but it'll still be a step up from SPL. Much prefer if he were in the centre of the defence going to Hamilton today. I would prefer to see Hearts build a team than sell it and start building again, not the best basis on which to try and compete. Agreed. Think we could've held onto him a bit longer and got more money for him, after having seen him play for HMFC a bit longer. OH, and best wishes to Christophe. He's earned himself his move via his performances on the park this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie-Brown Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Hearts have been good for Berra & Christophe's been very good for Hearts, he came to us a schoolboy & worked hard to earn his apprenticeship & first professional contract working his way through the ranks into the first team and eventually to be the youngest captain since Gary Locke about a dozen or so years before him. He served us well & if it's now time for him to move on it should be with everyone's best wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbo27_22 Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I hope his career now goes down the toilet. Why? We picked him up, we trained him, he developed HIS talents and abilities and now he is moving on in his career. What happens if one of your good work friends moves to another company - is that it? Do you never speak to him/her again? Football is a career and you do what is best for yourself - same as any other. Good centre half - not the best we've had but fairly high up the scale. A good fee could prove to be a very important part of our near future i.e. the fee could help to shape our squad for the next two years. Good luck Berra.

Gabriel Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Cameron left us to wear the Gold, and I never thought he ever reached the same heights or showed his full potential there. Perhaps things will work out better for Berra. When you reflect on how Berra was pilloried on this board last year, it has been quite a turnaround. Good luck to the guy.

Geoff Kilpatrick Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 I don't know if Wolves is the right move for Berra or not (and to be quite honest, I think that is irrelevant) but Wolves had better have upped their original offer or people won't be happy. Similarly, there will be an expectation of new faces before Tuesday now. Anyway, good luck Christophe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blondejamtart Posted January 31, 2009 Share Posted January 31, 2009 Obviously it's a fact that players do move on, but I must admit I'm a bit disappointed it's Berra we're losing. I can think of a few players I'd rather see go before him, and I only hope we do get decent money for him at least. Unlike some, however, I wish him well in his future career, although like others, I have some misgivings as to whether Wolves is the right move.
