strar8 55 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Berra has been rock solid, week in, week out, for Hearts for a couple of years now. Ideally id like a Scottish/British player to fill that defensive role for Rangers - and lets face it - time should be up on Weir now, i mean, why should we have to wait until he fecks up a match for us before he finally say "ok, a 40 something at the heart of defence is a bit old" Berras impressed me more than any other, he's got leadership credentials, and is the right age. I think it would take 3-4million but we urgently need a refreshed presence at the back there. I read in one of the rags today that Romanov was planning to sell on a few players.. maybe we could add Driver to the deal - hes a left footer isnt he? And where are we gonna get the 3-4 million from? Even if we offload the whole 10 reported players in january we'll be lucky to get 3 million for the lot! No chance this deal will happen.

jjcale27 46 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I think any player in Berra's situation would improve 300% under Weir's tuition, but we can do better. Tonel or Marek Suchy would probably cost similar amounts and both are currently 10000 times better than the inconsistent Berra. Have you seen Suchy play much?

He's nothing but a younger version of Steven Pressley really. I don't know why he is so lauded on here. His partner, Zaliukas, is far superior.

Muff 245 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 He struggled against Falkirk a few weeks ago and up at Inverness. Darcheville gave him the run around earlier on in the season. At Tannadice in September he was horrendous, Taouil(sp) and Fernandez took the utter piss out of him at Rugby Park. Last season he was very shaky and when Hearts were in Europe, he was a bombscare, especially against Siroki, AEK and Sparta Prague at Murrayfield. If people have been watching Berra then they will see that Zaliukas is superior in every way, a player who is supposidly available for a lesser price. Why no mention of him on here?

Muff 245 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 I don't know if he's just on loan or not? I'm sure I read somewhere earlier on that Micheal Laudrup sent over Erik Larsen to watch him against the tims? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nvager 498 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 I think he's decent enough, but I don't see Hearts selling cheap plus I think they would prefer he went to England. Exactly Coop. I agree 100%. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

D4RNL 0 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 really need to give yourselves a shake if ya think the likes of Berra are good enough for Gers Wasnt Sir Alex Ferguson watching him when we went to Tynecastle? So good enough for ManUtd but not Rangers?? Hes a class player and we need the cream of Scotland at Ibrox. Im sick of watching a Scotland team made up of 7 or 8 C**ts So you base buying a mediocre SPL player so we have more players in the Scotland squad that celtic? Maybe you should take Chester's job He plays his best when it's a high ball but I don't think he's anywhere near the finished article. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffbear 4,106 Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Berra is worth £1.5m and no more. He's better than what we have but not good enough to take us forward in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mccoist355 4 Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 Its all very well saying, "another Euro bargain like Cueller please" - if only Wattie could just wave a magic wand. Of course we'd all want to buy a class euro defender for nothing and sell him on for millions, and lets hope wattie does have one up his sleeve. Bottom line is Berra is a rock solid defender and likely to be Scottish international soon. And before you scoff at Scottish international defenders, just look at the team thats sadly beaten us the last three seasons in our own back-yard. Maybe Berra could be to us what Gary Caldwell, irritatingly, has been to them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zaliukas isnt young and Scottish ergo the media pay absolutely no attention to him. Of course, the fact that Spartak Moscow are linked with him whilst the likes of Wolves are linked with Berra says it all. He's a far, far superior player to Berra in every way and even then, i still wouldn't take him for Rangers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
