CONFIRMED Berge to Burnley

[Houston_Blade]

still completely perplexed why anyone thought that selling him to Burnley was a good idea.

Burnley offered money and we needed to cash in.

 

[SUFC Guy]

Berge is a great player but miles behind Rodri, who is probably the best in the world at what he does. Very disappointed when he left though and still completely perplexed why anyone thought that selling him to Burnley was a good idea.

He would have been out of contract now if he'd stopped with us and would now be moving on a free with zero financial gain. Good move by the club in hindsight and only time will tell if it's the same with Ndaiye.... if he fails with Everton.

Just keeping my fingers crossed that every premier league club he has played for have been relegated .

 

[FriethBlade]

He very rarely gives the ball away and the PL is all about ball retention. McTominay is supposed to be leaving them and I can see that they'd think Berge is a good replacement.

 

[Ndiayewillalwaysloveyou]

I know some like to make up stuff to put the fanbase down but I don't think anyone has said Berge is crap? I was never a fan but I never thought he was rubbish, just turned up when he fancied it and over rated to be some dream player he never will be.

My friend South Sea Blade can back me up anyway!

Im not saying he is as good as Rodri

But if you look at the two-players they are very similar in the way they play both big strong ball carriers who can control midfield

It wouldn't surprise me if Berge goes to a spurs/man and becomes a top prem Centre Mid

Interesting thought. My hindsight is selling our two best players and starting a Premier League season with a weaker squad than we got promoted with worked out really badly.

Star claims we have a % of any fee over 12 million. Gerrim bought Manure. He's a bargain at 100 million :

Star also claiming we're due a 'cash windfall' from the sale of Osula.

If Berge's sold any sell-on fee could accurately be described as a 'windfall' - but it isn't a 'windfall' if we just sell one of our players.

We're simply due 'cash' if we sell Osula.

Wish I'd slept through last season as well.
Selling our best two players wasn't a good idea at the time or with hindsight.

I don't see the Rodri comparisons at all, tbh. If we're using Spanish midfielders as comparable then he's more like Fabian Ruiz or Merino. He's an 8. I don't think he has it in him to play as a single pivot like Rodri.

Don't think those 2 would have given us enough points to stop up though mate.

Again, don't think they would done enough to have kept us up. We needed much more than them.

 

[petcharlie]

David Brooks also had that ability.

you are right just ask the pigs full back ha ha

 

[Blade58]

Looking like Burnley are after £30m for Berge

If Hal has it right that anything above £12.5m we get an add on then good

Thing is Man U probs won’t pay that sort of figure?

 

[Loco Blade]

Desperate times at Old Trafford if true . I can hear the laughing from the Etihad from my back garden

 

[gordoncharles]

Berge is like Rodri. Berge is like Fabian. Jesus H Christ.

He's an above average Championship midfielder.

I may as well say Jack Robinson is like Rudiger.

 

[bonobo]

If anytime is going to massively overpay, its Man Utd...

 

[CoatesyBlade]

Didn't particularly rate him personally but hope this comes off for both his and our benefit. GLTTL.

This is just some weird narrative that started in the stands then became law. He is a quality footballer, he absolutely took the piss out of us last season seemingly without even trying!
I hope he goes to Man U cos that will be a blow to Burnley’s chances

 

[ancientblade]

berge is such a frustrating player to watch hes got silky midfield skills but you always get the impression hes capable of so much more

Well it can’t be right cos ol Girona ex said we didn’t

 

[Colombia Blade]

You would have thought Sander's agent would have demanded a release clause from Burnley considering how many nights he spent with his suitcases packed sleeping in the hotel!

This green confirmed keeping popping up is doing my head in. Then seeing it says Bergen

Would love to see him get a big move and see how he performs with quality players around him. Lovely lad, who stayed longer than he should have and didn't want to leave when he did by all accounts.
