Spurs and Chelsea home games - he was the best midfielder on the park. 2 games only, granted but I think we're being a little slow on the uptake because we've been so shit since. He's one of the best players we've seen in the shirt but ultimately unless we improve he won't be remembered as such.
I find that kind of mad. He’s proven he is a classy Premier League midfielder with bags of potential at this level. He was playing in Belgium before. Tonnes of teams spend good money on players without knowing if they will translate to the Premier League. With Berge, you've seen him be a serious player. You don’t really have that risk.
I completely agree on the bags of potential. Disagree on "proven." Maybe our definitions differ. I think to be proven you have to have performed at a consistently high level. He hasn't. He's shown, in bursts, that he can be a threat. But I don't remember a series of games where he stood out as the best player on the park.
For me, he's still the same player that arrived. One with lots of potential.
