CONFIRMED Berge to Burnley

[brownblade]

I have affection for Sander, but if we (quickly) get good quality replacements, I think we can be better without him.

He's got a niche skillset and even his biggest fan cannot claim he's Mr Consistent.

Also, I think it's 50/50 whether he helps or hinders Burnley.

Just being honest. But I will always have a soft spot for the big lad.

The best player at the club sold.

No worries though we are going to get O’Brien

I have heard you have a soft spot for big lads lol

Potentially highest ceiling. But over 46 matches there were 6 or 7 better players than him last season, by my reckoning.

 

[Keef Chedwyn]

Best thing to happen to the club in a long time if he goes.
Imagine having a star player who does fuck all. He's been a thorn in our side for 3 and a half years.
NIce lad though.

All about opinions mate, but for me he is our best player currently at the club.

 

[MojoMuffin]

Crackers we're essentially relying our survival on Manchester City doing us some big favours to sort out our own midfield in terms of a Doyle buy or Macca/Palmer loan.

 

[S64 Blade]

When Berge arrived it was arguably the peak of our optimism in years. It signalled a new Sheffield United. Competing for Europe and signing highly regarded talent from Europe.

Likewise Ndiaye’s emergence and performances last season, had people saying he’s the best they’ve ever seen/since Currie.

We now have neither and are 4 days away from the new season needing at least 5/6 players.

What a time to be alive. Exciting in a weird sadomasachistic way aint it

This is a very bad look. I genuinely hope it isn’t true.

 

[Mesut Özil's Lawnmower]

This is a fucking disgrace

That's quite a low bar at the moment

 

[Bladesman]

This a very bad look. I genuinely hope it isn’t true.

We wanted him to sign a new deal. He won't and wants the freedom to fuck off on his own terms at the end of the season regardless of what division we are in.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

It's an appalling look for the club after Berge has behaved so impeccably towards us on so many occasions.

Imagine PH having to be the middle man for that conversation too?

Absolute circus and reveals a pretty nasty underbelly to our leadership.

Sander's a good bloke and a very talented player. I wish him well and I think he's got out at the right time.
Worthy of a good reception when he returns.

 

[BettingBlade]

If this is true then it just shows how bad the Prince is at running a football club. This bollocks about letting contracts run down because they will play better is a sign of this. It also makes me think that this isnt far out of the realms of possiblilty.

Obviously this could be made up but there’s plenty of evidence over the last week that would suggest the Prince doesnt know what the fuck he is doing.

 

[bladesmanluke]

Sack the board ringing around the lane on Saturday then

We wanted him to sign a new deal. He won't and wants the freedom to fuck off on his own terms at the end of the season regardless of what division we are in.

But we've known this for years, that's the biggest annoyance for me that we've waited until the week the season starts

 

[JayGreen17]

There a difference between forcing a move and discussing personal terms because the club has accepted an offer.

The club has instigated this, if we wanted to keep him we would have. It’s basically saying to Berge, right they could let me run my contract down and use me for this season then I’m free to move on. They’ve accepted an offer so clearly they’re not that arsed about keeping me, I might as well get my shiny new contract a year early.

It’s business and I’m perfectly fine with Berge’s decision. Anyone blaming him and not the club is bonkers.

This

 

[Weasel]

I'm with United on this one. Either sign or move on now. It's just the timing that is a real kick in the bollocks.

 

[Bladesman]

But we've known this for years, that's the biggest annoyance for me that we've waited until the week the season starts

And we have wanted him to sign or go before now but its come to the final straw. If it was up to his agent he would be walking away for nothing.

Classic SUFC

Christ. Imagine PH having to go along with that.

Why? It’s totally a good business decision for the club, keeping him to let him run down his contract is bonkers, the only thing I can’t get my head round is that it should have been done at the start of preseason, same with Illy, basically sign or leave.

 

[A Storm of Blades]

I dunno. I see where you’re coming from, but to say he’d be frozen out suggests the board would interfere with Hecky’s selections. Sounds pretty terrible to me.

Because they are complete idiots

Please lord

Please don’t say we have stooped to this ffs

Sure but theres still no excuse for letting it get this late, having him played in every pre-season etc. We need a decision by X date if you're staying or we're selling ya, could've been done weeks ago.
