I don't know if you're confusing me with another poster, but I don't think that I do "run the team down" etc. at every opportunity, certainly not intentionally.
I genuinely believe that it would be really difficult to get anything beyond £20m for Berge, given he hasn't proved anything at the highest level (PL) and has demonstrated that he's potentially a big risk in terms of injuries.
If I was a fan of a Leeds, Brentford, Forest etc. would he be somebody I'd be happy with us spending a big chunk of change on. For me, there's still too many question marks over him.
For him to be the £35m player that some believe he is, I think he'd have had to have contributed circa 10-15 goals and 10-15 assists last season and also shown a huge amount of promise whilst in the PL.
I asked for an example of a player that was sold for anything like that amount, out of our division, with a record similar to Berge's. Nobody could provide one.
You might view me as being a bit pesimistic at times and I'll accept that perhaps I can be. But I do try to be realistic, I'm not someone that plays devils advocate for reactions.
