Outgoing? SANDER BERGE ON WAY OUT ?

[Yogi]

Bit harsh to treat Kone like that isn't it?

Might be a case of the money not being there unless Berge was sold. Was the same with Anel in January.

We didn't. It was utter bollocks.

Well yeah. Just meant he probably got all excited, but we had no real intention of signing him

If we really were so far down the line with him and had gone to the trouble of scouting him and believed he’d be a good fit for the club wouldn’t surprised me if we circled back when more finances are available if he’s not moved elsewhere that is

I suppose it's "all in the game" and we probably told him "we can only do it if we get £25m for Berge"

Yeah I doubt we kept anyone in the dark plus it was all over Twitter. Anytime I listen to a football podcast with an ex pro on they seem to have plenty of stories about times they almost moved clubs.

I’m not him lol, doesn’t he like twitter either?

[Sithblade]

His team mates are both in England now so you'd think he'd like to stay here, also does this mean Haaland wants to join us one day to experience playing at the Lane?

 

[knowsnowt]

He talks utter shit.

 

[BrisBlade]

He talks utter shit.

... But a lot of it.

 

[Gannon's perm]

Which is why some of it occasionally sticks.

MGW.
42m.

MGW was sold by a PL club , not a Championship club running out of parachute payments

He was sold on the back of a good year as a championship player. Not a PL player.
I don't get why that's so hard to understand.

 

[Keen Blade]

Imagine if they're taking the piss and activate his release clause tomorrow when we can't get a replacement

If a European club activates his £35m release clause tomorrow (if they want to play him in CL) or before 6 Sept , is there fuck all we can do about replacing him ?
Would we have to place an traffic cone in midfield ?
If so , we've taken as small risk haven't we ?

He was sold by a wealthy PL club , not a skint Championship club like us , so that alters the negotiating position , resulting in a much higher price than a Championship club could have obtained.

For the second time tonight. I conceed victory. It's a waste of time trying to get through.

Yeh but you conceded + then threw another dart

Was thinking the same thing and yeah you’re right - I guess it’s unlikely anyone is coming in with that much at this stage, if they did we’d just have to try and convince Sander to say no to personal terms and not screw us.

We should really have a national transfer deadline that cuts both ways, ie. once our window is shut our clubs cannot buy OR SELL anyone.

We set a club transfedr deadline and that was one week ago. Bar Berges get out clause (which we couldn't doanthing about) being met no one was going anywhere. I get the panic of deadline day due to the McCabe era, but today was never going to throw up any surprises.
It was very relaxing knowing that.

 

[gaffablade]

Huge sigh of relief that Sander is staying

Also a huge well done to the board, the ‘potless Prince and especially Sander for having a set of balls

Let’s now smash this league

Hopefully this thread can be rested after today.

Leave him alone, Darren is our finest narcissist

He's our Meghan

 

[Berkshire Blade]

17 weeks until this thread needs dusting off. I think one or two might be willing to up the offer above the reach of a club in Belgium

 

[davidblade]

Proper Norwegian journos calling it bullshit. The real interest was Liverpool for Berge but they opted for Melo.

Jesse Marsch prefers Cock to Egan.

NO BIDS

Yes we have but worth it I think , if they were going to make a bid of that size surely they would of bid the 23 million we are reportedly asking for and saved themselves around 10 million

 

[Gin&Juice]

Who were the cheeky PL clubs then?

It's what happens on deadline day all the time.

Personally I find it all contrived and a joke that so much happens in the last few hours but Kone will have been put in the picture.

 

[Stretch]

Leicester were probably one (if rumours were to be believed) and maybe a team with one eye on the champ next year (Fulham?)

I wouldn't be surprised if Forest went in for one more round of Pokemon yesterday as well.
