54andcounting 0 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 According to DJ If Ally McCoist can pull off the signing of Christophe Berra, it would be a real coup. He is a Scotland cap who has played at a high level for Wolves in the Barclays Premier League for several seasons. What is more, he knows the game in this country and knows all about Rangers from playing against them for a large chunk of his career with Hearts. He is also just 27 and has many years left playing at a high level in front of him. I wonder: Can he be the man to take us forward and beyond? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
barca72 440 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I think if we can get a guy of his standard to build the defence around for about 5k-6k pw then he'll do me. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juancornetto 1 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 I like Berra, he's a decent player and at our current level he'd be a very good signing. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Cooper 0 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Still do not believe we should be paying out on wages what Berra will undoubtedly command. We are still in a part time league. I guess it depends what the clubs ambitions are. Last season it was to win a cup and win the league, as said by the manager and CEO in pre season, those ambitions reduced with every cup exit. I am not convinced we can afford the same mistake again. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
der Berliner 3,282 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 There is just one team in Scotland that would be able to match the wages we could pay him. I for one would not be surprised that after Rogne leaving, TLB will jump in and snatch him up ... if only to rub it into our faces. I for one am pretty calm about this all, be it Pandza, Berra or Mouhsni (sp?). We are covered to the hilt in that position, not by the best available, but enough people anyway. Enough for SPFL 3, probably not the cups. Furthermore, "our" transfer window will be open till January, as we can "sign" freebies all along. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 A mediocre player but much better than what we have. You know it's a weak argument though when having Scotland caps is used as justification for someone's ability. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 relatively speaking it would be. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tannochsidebear 2,320 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Berra is a decent player for where we are but after 2-3 years would have little to no sell on value. Would also like to see a cull of players who failed last season before adding even more to the wage bill. Cribari, Faure, Argy, all brought very little to the party and we could easily do without them. With Alexander Boca Dorin and Hemmings all away already, if these 3 left as well I would be more at ease. Personally would also move on McCulloch and Black, who both should not be getting into our first 11 this season and are too expensive to be subs, but there is no way Ally is going to do this. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I think Berra would be an ideal signing. He is above the average standard for an SPL player and improves what we have already. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUDE 0 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I didn't watch myself, but apparently he must've looked impressive against Brora. I'd be very happy to sign this lad. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
