Should we sign berlin up?

[carbonwhite]

not long left now till the start of the season and i think we need atleast 3 strikers so do you thinkdw will sign  berlin nlone-ndebe for a year or should he carry on his search. hes obviously having alook at this hot property but what if he aint up to standards?

[Reg Smeeton]

 For footballing reasons I'd say no...for comedy reasons maybe.  Whilst no Onion Bhaji, Berlin does have some potential.

i dont see the harm in signing him up for 6months just so we know that we have atleast 2 strikers in our team

[Barry Scott]

I think he's worth a go. He's clearly prepared to get stuck in and certainly seems to have a good head on his shoulders.

[Simon Pieman]

How long did he play for last night? Could give him a run out tonight and judge from there.

Surely just signing players to make up the numbers is wrong....we've still a month to get some forwards in for the majority of the season.  I hope we can see the benefit of having an experienced manager, and he doesn't panic.

I would imagine the hot property guy is up to standard,It's more than likely down to whether he feels he can fit in here or like it here.Danny's mentioned he's been looking at him for a long time now,so i would imagine he know's exactly what he's like hence the MI5 stuff,as for berlin i've not seen him so cant comment.

for the possibility of cult status yes, but based on abillity, no

Well… as a striker, NO. his falling on his arse when trying to kick the ball was just cringeworthy.

I think he could maybe do a job as a winger though, that said, he would be a similar player to Marshall and Macca in terms of speed, stamina and his crossing was not great. Everything he did well has been when he is running down the flanks, He is no better than what we have on the wings and would just be taking up wages. He didn’t ever look like scoring and therefore is not going to be our solution to the lack of goals up front.

So if we didn’t have Marshall, Macca, JPM or O’Brien then he may be worth a short term or a one year deal, as it stands, I can’t see him slotting into the first team and fail to see what he currently adds to the first team. So Pass.

He could "take our breath away..."

my feelings exactly

Got to be a no.

He can't offer anything better than Macklin, so why bring him in?

He is not going to be offered a contract - it's official.

Glad to see DW isn't making signings for the sake of it....

[Nemo]

Yep, on the official site that he's not coming in. Lots of failed trials this summer, which shows our standards I suppose.

Not for long if he keeps trying to kick it off himself !
