CONFIRMED Sander Berge

[blademark]

On the basis that he was apparently training in Belgium yesterday, I can't see anything happening today to be honest.

 

[Oreyt]

Put yourself in his agent's shoes. He has no reason to get this done asap. He'll hang on till the very last moment in case a 'bigger'* club comes in. It's just a waiting game now

*Bigger is subjective obvs

 

[Flatulent_Bob]

BBC saying Sheffield United are the only club to have bid, however the link they gave is from yesterday and that's not the headline.

Despite several clubs showing interest, Sheffield United are understood to be the only club who has made an offer for the 21-year-old.

Sheffield United are considering Mady Camara of Olympiakos and Hoffenheim's Florian Grillitsch as alternative targets should they fail to reach agreement with Genk over a deal for Berge.

How else can we get the thread to 100 pages? Did you know. If the thread gets to 100 pages, Berge said he'll sign.

Tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii...breath......iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiTS

You can get from Belgium to the UK pretty quickly these days.

 

[Weneverscorefromcorners]

If it goes all the way to Friday do they just fuck off the medical? Or is it a rush job to get him from Genk to Sheffield?

Why?

 

[hull-Blade]

Is today Berge-r day ?

A beautiful peaceful summers day scene in The Garden Of England on the Monmouth & Brecon Canal in the hot summer of 2020.Little were the couple at the table to know that their crustless 50/50 bread sandwiches were riddled with the Corona virus.Letitia Bonsall steering her cruiser stern narrow boat (1973 model) unaware of the 150' drop ahead of her.Only weeks before HS2 tore through the countryside.The two young cyclists unable to avoid the 30,000 Wendy supporters marching back from a day out at Wembley having lost in the playoff final to Millllllllllwaaaaaaaall.Meanwhile Sander Berge & his UEFA bound Blades teammates carry on celebrating finishing fifth,laid drinking crates of Peroni behind the far wall.

 

[blademark]

Why?

Well, it would seem like we are still negotiating terms with the club, and there is no way that the player will come until that's done, and even when he does, the personal terms might take 24 hours to negotiate.
It's looking like Friday to me.

 

[Blade56]

Is today Berge-r day ?

Just imagine if we signed Bunn.

Nearly as good as when we could have fielded Short and Curle at the back with Dong upfront

The medical doesn't have to be in Sheff. Our staff could already be there waiting in a private hospital and have a bit of grass booked for the running part.

 

[SufcBilly]

Anyone think we are waiting for the money from Robinson’s loan to be freed before upping the bid officially and getting him?

Personal terms will not be an issue. They will have been agreed by now.

Why? Van Winkel/Shieber or whoever could be in Belgium sorting it all with a shirt to stick on him with some of the media team?!

 

[Westran]

I reckon it comes down to Genk wanting to keep him until the end of the season, to me it looks like that was their opening position and its took an improved bid for them to change their stance. Yesterday their DoF said he cant guarantee he'll still be with them on 1st Feb, which was a change from the day before. Wouldn't be surprised to see it done today

Yeah that makes sense. Heres me thinking he'd have to get a in a very fast car Friday afternoon and tear arse to Sheff

 

[E1Blade]

Wishful thinking but if it’s done today/tomorrow when’s the cut of point for him to be in the squad for Saturday?

Whether signed today, tomorrow or Friday I doubt he'd be included.

Unveiled in squad at home game

Think its 24 hours usually. But all depends when we put in "the paper work" as opposed to being announced.... could already be in

Or Matty Fry

Robinson has gone.
Only on loan though, so I dont see how that would help us financially with this one.

 

[Gin&Juice]

From what I can gather so far from Belgian Media.

• Genk won the title last year. They're struggling in this one. Which means they don't really have anything to play for.
• They've promised their big players if a move is possible they'll let them go. Dependant on the fee.
• Berge, rejected us. This was due to it being the start of the season, CL football and uncertainty of where we'd finish.
• We're playing well, they're not. We've gone back in. The only club so far to have.
• The player is now keen on the move, but we haven't managed to meet Genk's asking price.
• Player is now consulting family, whilst we're close to matching the asking price.
• Genk's CE is 99% sure he will leave this window.

West brom will probably be paying his full wages and a loan fee.

I’m on my 3rd phone charge, my 15th wank... my cock looks like a chewed carrot and my hand like Jeremy Beadle’s.

Come on blades

Really?
Oh, well in that case it makes even more sense.

 

[Sam64]

Another day of Berge rumours

No I don't.
