Berge is a class act & can do better than Burnley. His national managers comments haven't obviously helped our case, but, neither would this move? Does look very unambitious, losing 2 quality assets... 😭

My thoughts exactly earlier. Norway coach said he needs an established Premier league team to get regular game time in the national side. A move to Burnley with a few years contract when he can leave for free next season is a baffling decision from him. My only guess is that it's a good wage packet and he sees Burnley doing better than us next season. Given he's playing pre-season games with ozzy running around like a gazelle on the M18 obviously hasn't given him much confidence in us, can't blame him!
 
Like Ndiaye, having Berge run his contract down to the point of a fire sale is poor. But the alternative was sell him last summer or in jan for not much more money and risk not going up.

Personally I think if he wants to go then it’s better to let him go now rather than have him saunter through games.

It does mean that we also need to bring in some replacements quickly because the squad is threadbare as it is

As for Berge going to Burnley, playing under Kompany will be decent for him and perhaps opens him up for a bigger move in a year or so if he manages to progress
 
I hope these 5 players we’ve apparently got lined up are all good’uns!
 
If this goes through and we don't get at least an adequate replacement and some decent signings I can honestly say I'm done until the prince (doesn't deserve a capital P) fucks off.

We've been through some shit in the 20+ years I've been following us, but this really does take first prize as the most embarrassed I've ever felt to support this club.

Fucking Shambolic.

What are the odds on Hecky walking out?

Don't think he's the type to walk out. He will look to rectify it. We all know that Berge is going to go next year for nothing if we let him (same would have been for IN)

We'll recvover from this I'm sure so not worth us getting sand in the fanny at this point in time 🤣
 
The one reason I can see this being a good thing is if we were planning on playing him in CDM/deep lying midfield for the season. He's not a CDM and has proved that on numerous occasions. If we're playing him there then £12m is better.

I agree, selling him isn't the problem it's the lack of replacements that is.

Popped on for 5 minutes after a busy morning at work, wish I hadn't! Got to feel for Hecky and his team, even if 4, 5 or 6 signings arrive before the end of September it'll take them weeks to get up to speed. Starting well and not getting left behind will be key to us having any chance you'd think, and as much as I'd love to see us roll Palace and pick up the odd win or three before the end of September I really can't.

When it goes tits up the poor manager will get the blame . Even though he has worked miracles to get promoted working with one arm tied behind his back having to put up with all the shit from upstairs he has done a remarkable job . Unfortunately most of the flack will come from the fans and our owner and the board will get away with it again .

I think it's way past the point of sand in the fanny mate.

Honesty, I can admit Burnley were good in the Championship. But the praise Kompany & co are getting is a bit much. They are in that collection of 6-to-7 teams fighting relegation, hardly an inspiring move, is it? If Berge needs an "established prem team" I'd say go to Brentford or Palace. He'd even suit Newcastle, what with their additional fixtures and need for squad-depth. I like Ozzy, he works hard but our business has been a bit slow. We all knew midfield needed reinforcement.

I can't see Hecky walking, he's got longer left on his contract than our first XI added together 😂

Yes, but he could walk into a top job now, and no-one would blame him.
Look at Wilder - best thing since sliced bread, but one shitty season fucked his reputation right up!
 
So basically, by the end of the week, we could have no strikers or midfielders that we'd class as first choice starters?

Hecky and the team had better earn their coin before kick off or, it's gonna kick off !
 
With how well Osborn has been playing pre-season I really don’t think Berge leaving is a concern. Ozzy has proven he is ready for the Prem. Could his energy possibly be at the level required to cover both Berge and Ndiaye’s roles? Wouldn’t surprise me.

He’s a machine. My only concern with him is he only has a year left so he may be the next out the door.
 
In a week which required laser-like focus to bring players in, the first piece of concrete transfer activity is to flag another player. Fucking genius.

I guarantee this one will be done and dusted before we get anything like as close to an incoming as well.

I am normally quite positive, but it is hard to see how we can put out a competitive team here.
 

Has anyone taken a min to understand that football is a business, if berge wants out he don't want to entertain our contract offer, I feel the club has no other way to deal with this than make some ££££ than him leave for free , we cant blame the prince for everything, under mccabe we would have sold him Last year, prince has admitted he hasn't got the money nor any backing to bank roll us to bring in big name players, even if he did if players refuse contracts there's nothing more you can do really! No point keeping players who don't want to be here, it's no good on the team
