DaveClark Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 This lad hasn't really been exposed to the likes of football he will be exposed to in the Championship. Now I'm not saying he will flop, but look at his stats and he's not proven himself yet, and not really known much hustle and bustle as a central defender yet, at 23. This type of signing is ok if he isn't going to be first choice straight away, but let's be honest he's going to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all relative. If you're Man C £75 million would be a substantial undisclosed fee. If you're skint £500k would be a substantial undisclosed fee. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latemodelchild Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 'World class, champions league standard player. Nobody knows how we've managed it because he's worth about 20 million.' Direct quote from a blade last night. He reckons they've bagged a proper player. Also says they'll be a force next season, hecky is getting em drilled for high intensity from what he's seen. Hope he's wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah he's rubbish, pal. Pigs waint go up this season wi players like him and 50 year old Sharp up front. They've just bought that bottom an all wi dem loans they took aht. Never even heard of him. Fact. If they don't go up this year a reckon they are in big trouble. I know one Sheffield United fan and he is worried abaht future at club and Wednesday tekkin or again. Anyway good luck this season and I hope you smash that league. From a Manchester City fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This type of signing is ok if he isn't going to be first choice straight away, but let's be honest he's going to be. Exactly my thoughts. It's a huge risk of a signing given their finances. They were raving about Berge when he signed claiming they had beaten Man Utd to get him, yet he has failed to live up to expectations and has struggled in the Championship and now they can't seem to shift him They signed that Ukrainian guy on loan last season and again their fans were raving about him yet he barely featured and has now signed for another club Time will tell I guess. Could go either way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IWEDFM Posted July 8, 2022 Share Posted July 8, 2022 As for Lawrence, happy he chose Rangers as he's a decent player and would have been a good signing for the pigs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradowl Posted July 10, 2022 Share Posted July 10, 2022 SSN reporting that German side Weirder Bremen have offered £17.5m for Berge, he's only player they've paid a lot of money out for who can they sell and get anywhere near what they've paid out for players.

If he's worth 20m he's not CL standard. And high intensity not exactly a differentiating factor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
