Keep hearing that Newcastle are after Berge and have offered 1/ midfielder Jeff Hendrick,
2/ goalkeeper Freddie Woodman, 3/ and striker Dwight Gayle would take any of them.

Personally I would be interested in the first two but Gayle has I think turned us down before so at best a loan

Is there anyone else we should consider, is there a championship level c/half we could get?
 



I wouldn't take anything less than £25 mill for Berge

Why would we sell him when we are now in with a good shout of getting the play offs and maybe more and that with him missing all the season pretty much
 
I'm very worried that if Newcastle's owners really want Berge, our owner will be told what we're getting in return, which I suspect will be not much. The Premier League's sanctioning of Newcastle's takeover by the Saudi state was a disgrace - it would be just our luck if us losing Berge for peanuts was the first manifestation of that corruption.
 
If we can get good money plus Woodman that would be a good deal for me. I really think Berge will be a great player but a very highly rated young English goalkeeper in return would be a bigger plus. If it also means if we can find a way to send Olsen back it would free up another potential loan space and much needed wages.
 
3 players that aren't good enough to get a game for 1 of the 2 worst teams in the league...

Woodman is ok to be fair but do we need a keeper?
 



Interesting story I heard about Wilder & Berge was that Berge was signed by the club not Wilder. Because of our Belgian connections through Winkel we were able to sign him. The club felt we were getting him for a steal as he was highly sought after by big clubs…..so all this said why would we sell him for less than we bought him for if profit was always in mind?

Maybe a loan swap deal could work for both teams? If Berge is desperate to leave that is, if not then we just have to accept it was another bad investment by the board.
 
Tell them it’s £30m cash plus Woodman

They have the cash
We don’t need to sell

Sellers market.

Also maybe worth explaining to Berge that there is a possibility we go up they come down

If he goes, it should be to a Everton, Palace or abroad

Not that self entitled perennial losers, I tell ya, I would love it….just love it if they go down, Saudis sell up and they do a Leeds. Love it.

I think we probably do need to sell, we have already spunked enough money on players we cant get rid of and if we do are going to make a big loss on. So a half decent bid from Newcastle will probably be accepted
especially if we want to invest in other areas of the team, we may if we are lucky get 50% of the fee to re-invest
Theres also the wages he will be on to be considered

What about the bit in the video when he was signed, CW telling him he had gone to Europe ( forgotten where) to watch him before he signed?
 
Weird signing if true, thought they’d need players who can have an instant impact to help save them from relegation. Berge hasn’t had much impact in any of our games so far and then there’s his injury record…

It's simple really mate , if he was worth 22 mill when we signed him ....

Hmm I think I've seen an existing thread about Berge where this discussion started about 3 -4 days ago. You can see my responses on there. I thank you!

In all honesty, I think we'll get our money back. He's needed time to settle, been injured and playing in a demoralised, poor team. He's better than we've seen IMO.

If I was United I would loan Berge to Newcastle. 1/ they go down and we go up so we have him back. 2/ we go up and have him back anyway 3/ we don’t go up, but he’s playing regularly again so we can command a higher price.

Berge playing regularly ? Bit like Mousset getting a testimonial.

I hope you are right, alternately I'd love him to turn it on after new year start grabbing games by the bollocks and fire us up the league

The problem is he contributed to that very good team becoming a 'demoralised poor 'team.
