There's little chance (ok, why hedge, there's no chance) that any club outside of England will pay even £5m for him, and I'd like to know which clubs in England would even stump up the sort of transfer fee that's being mentioned on this thread?

Realistically, there are two - Bournemouth and whoever wins the Play off final.

How long is his contract? Because he'll be here next season.

Summer 2025
 

£20m in 2022 is significant but not so significant that a player who costs said amount should 'take this piss' otherwise be considered ineffectual/disappointing etc....
 
Build a team around him and Ndiaye. Get the ageing players out and replace with younger models. Particularly those with resale value.

That post proves while we'll always be a nowt club. Mediocrity is fine for us. I suppose Brewster looking like he was getting a bit of confidence before his injury is fine too for 20 mil?

If you put a £20M+ player in your team to play in the Championship, he's got to dominate. I don't want to see him be one of our best players, I want to see him take the absolute piss.

That's not how real life works though is it? Besides, if you want to see a £20m signing take the piss, just watch McBurnie

Really? That single post from a random bloke in Newbury proves why Sheffield United will always be a 'nowt club'.

OK mate.

Our fans sometimes 😂.

Get upset when we don’t sign someone, get upset when we sell someone and now get upset that we’re not selling hands down our best player and suggest we off him on the cheap because in their heads he’s unhappy and wants to leave 😂

Here’s an idea, build the team round him and win promotion 👍. We have a better chance of that than selling him and trying to go up.

Sorry Pal you can't come on here promoting common sense👍

I would guess at least half the Bundesliga as a minimum would be in for him instantly at that price

Bellingham an unproven 17 year old went for £25m plus add ons

I'm really trying to think of a single reason for that to be relevant to Berge.
I can only think that unproven is worse than proven to be slightly above average sometimes in the Championship.
 

People were talking of Berge going to a bundesleague club for around £5m the point i make is that Berge as a full international has to be worth as much as an unproven Bellingham.
 
Why would Berge move ?
He is on a good salary, plays match after match, may be in the Premiership in the following season, is settled in Sheffield/England and is with a group of players he appears to enjoy being with.

A group of talent ID professionals with specialist skills assessed Bellingham's current and potential ability, decided he was worth acquiring him and took the steps necessary to buy.

Likewise a similar group at SUFC assessed Berge's current ability and his ceiling in 2020 and decided to sign him. Right now his value is affected by his recent return to full fitness and the division we're in but the fact that he has 3 years left on his contract and no being under financial pressure means his fee remains high.

Groups of scouts all over Europe will have assessed Berge recently and the only reason he's not an attractive signing is because his fee is a lot higher than his value. Some clubs take those risks, but they probably don't shop in the Championship. That doesn't mean he's not a quality player. It certainly doesn't mean we should sell him for whatever we can get.

The "unproven / proven" stuff is absolute bollocks and peddled by plenty without a clue including some managers.

'Proven' is supposed to mean done it before, therefore can do it again but in reality means easy to find, usually expensive, peaked, under pressure to deliver. You don't need scouts to find proven players, any daft sod can do it and it's hard to do it well.

'Unproven' is supposed to mean something negative. Hasn't done it before so why should we believe he can do it all etc. This is where scouts make all the difference, they find tomorrow's talent while the clubs obsessed with proven players are losing money and buying shit.

With no disrespect intended, if your assessment of Berge in the Premier League is "anonymous" and your assessment of Berge in the Championship is "sometimes quite good" you're either unable to spot a player, blinded by how much he cost us in the price, or a bit of both.
