weve offered Berge a new contract, which he’s refused to sign
he obviously either fancies a change of scenery, or is waiting to see what his options are in 12 months, a big signing on fee and wages from us if we stay up, or the same somewhere else if we dont
either way we get no money for him
over the weekend Burnley appear to be in for Souza, then today they are after Berge, we agree a fee
slightly later Lommel accept our offer and he appears to be ours
maybe we cut a deal with Burnley that they can have Berge, but pull out of the bidding for Souza, leaving us with a clear run on him
we lose a player who isn’t committed, and replace him with one who is, and a +£2m balance for a loan fee (McAtee?)
Berge has been an enigma, sometimes looks unplayable, sometimes looks like he’s not playing
not sure he’s ever found his best position with us, last season we were strong H1 due to Ndaiye & Norwood, consolidated H2 by Doyle & McAtee - not sure anyone would merit Berge with leading a purple patch of the season, odd game yes.
if come end of August we have Souza, Doyle, Akpom & oBrien perm, with Macca back on loan, funded by the (player forced by refusing contract) sale of IN & SB I think we’ve come out a stronger team, even if no individual is better then Illy
had the above been signed prior to the sales, it would have tasted better, but it’s not an ideal world
i reckon Berge has refused to sign, so we’ve decided, rightly to cash in
as long as we end stronger than we started, it’ll be reight
