Will we miss Berge?

[derfblade.3]

We bloody well will after watching that !

 

[Bladesman]

Berge would have done fuck all in that match.

Awful pitch, players trying to kick 10 bells out of him and him barely jumping for a header.

 

[John Street West Terrace]

in a perfect world which we don’t live in we’d have the quoted £20M and spend it on other reinforcements.
2 days before window closes & under a transfer embargo how will it benefit us in anyway ??
Between now & the end of the season who is gonna come in for Norwood, Doyle or McAtee ??
Osborn or Fkeck ?? Makes no sense at all ?
If you were gonna sell him we should have sold him last summer or stick with him & part with him at the end of the season

 

[Keen Blade]

Coulibaly ?

 

[Rodley]

Sell for £20min and bring in a couple, one to replace him and one to help at CB.

 

[Wards]

We'd miss any potential matchwinner. Absolutely vital that he's adequately replaced.

No major qualms with him moving on if it keeps the wolves from the door but it means Ndiaye shoulders yet more creative responsibility.

 

[s20Blade]

No he's just a passenger, rather have Osborne not doing much but putting a shift in IMO.

 

[Broomhall Blade]

Yes.

 

[Chingo]

Definitely miss him

Really? After what we've just witnessed from Runaround Ben this afternoon?!

 

[HarryHaslam]

100% Yes

 

[s20Blade]

Really? After what we've just witnessed from Runaround Ben this afternoon?!

We would have had static Berge instead.

 

[Frank the tank]

I miss him already

 

[SuperBobbyHatton]

yes

 

[Keen Blade]

Hasn't gone yet.
Has any reason been given for his absence ?

 

[metalblade]

After watching Wrexham out muscle our midget midfield then yes we bleedin will, we might be waving promotion goodbye if he goes as we look desperately light weight in midfield.

Osborn terrible today , making our left side vulnerable , but why play him against a physical team ?
Try Coulibaly ?

At the end of the day players move, he’s had a few outstanding games, a few shockers and most in between
So loosing him is part and parcel, and was always going to happen one day

My opinion will be on what happens next -
Surely someone in the boardroom has created a contingency so we tell his agent that for us to sell him, we need enough cash upfront to clear embargo and fund a replacement, or it’s a no deal and we will review in summer

Selling a player in the transfer window is acceptable
Not having a replacement and weakening a promotion chasing side thro bad planning isn’t

 

[Minty]

Berge a real top player but feel he’s not produced his best for us so far, a few moments aside. Would we miss him? Well yes, some of the time.

 

[Geordie Blade]

Along with Bogle and Ndiaye (and loanee McAttee) he’s one of only a very few SUFC players who can beat a man. It’s a much missed thing when it’s gone.

 

[metalblade]

Bad news if we can't bring in a replacement we are desperately short in midfield both in numbers and stature.

 

[BladesOnToast]

We bloody well will after watching that !

Has he definitely gone*? It seems like we go through this every single transfer window, and he's always still here at the end.

*can't be arsed to trawl through Rumours thread btw

 

[varkanoid]

No we won't miss him. He is in London now anyway.

 

[robbiez666]

we'll miss him because the alternatives aren't great. Not because he's a world class player.

 

[Toronto Blade]

Norwood will miss him he drew players away I doubt our remaining midfielders can do that. He also drew tall defender away at set pieces even though he rarely won a header. none of our remaining little midfielders will be able to do the same

Same point I hope I’m trying to make no issues if someone whose gonna better team coming in but with 2 days of window open ..if no replacement/ embargo still active then no

You’d seriously have Osborn over Berge ?

 

[s20Blade]

You’d seriously have Osborn over Berge ?

Yes

 

[Montymagic]

We would have had static Berge instead.

At least he can show glimpses of class and score

Osborn just runs in circles aimlessly...

 

[coolasanidiot]

We have seen little bits of brilliance from Berge. But the overall report is C+. A game like today was exactly the type he is useless in. I have been one like many who have stuck up for Berge in the hope he comes good, but truth is not once and I mean not once has he grabbed a game by the balls and ran it. He is the worst header of a ball I’ve ever seen on a professional field. So it’s time to let this fear of losing him go, and wish him well. If Fulham pay 20 million for him they have well and truly been sucked in by the hype. If they have watched him for the last 10 games they wouldn’t offer 2 million. That said Doyle and Macatee were both appalling today. Thank God for Norwood.
