Fraser Fyvie Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) 14 minutes ago, Darren said: I've barely - if ever - seen Alves play. I'm pretty confident that will also be the case for you. Ambrose hasn't covered himself in glory in the Scottish Premiership previously. So they're not "clearly better" at all. Nearly 100 games for one of the best countries in Europe as well as playing regularly for clubs like Porto, Zenit and Fenerbahce would suggest Alves is better than Berra. It's laughable to argue otherwise. Edited July 4, 2017 by Fraser Fyvie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's laughable to suggest otherwise. Was Roy Keane, one of the best midfielders in the history of the English Premier League, "clearly better" than the rest of the SPL (as it was at the time) when he was winding down his career with Celtic? And that's just one example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D Angelo Barksdale Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Ambrose has won an African Nations Cup medal. Come @ me when Berra wins one. Then we can call them equals. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominique Malonga Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Berra is a cracking signing for Hearts but he's not as good as Ambrose, never mind Bruno Alves. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Man Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 1 hour ago, Darren said: Christophe Berra will be the best centre half playing in Scotland next season who isn't contracted to Celtic. Comfortably. That's a big call considering I doubt you're au fait with the tekkers of Crescendo van Berkel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ginger Prince Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 I suspect Alves isn't going to be in tip-top condition, either. The same Alves that's just spent 2 weeks playing in the confederations cup for Portugal? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the last decade or so this is probably the longest hibs have went unbeaten, at that mostly 0-0 draws. put it however you want, hearts have signed two international footballers, one of which your team was interested in, you just look daft greeting about the fact they came to the BIG team, trying to convince yourself they are bad players. Who have hibs signed again actually ? 6 hours ago, Hibeesbounce75 said: -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elixir Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 Efe Ambrose, btw. I thought the fawning over him was an in-joke or bit of self-parody by the Hibs bois. I never thought they actually believe he's a player. He's an absolute joke figure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
