Sander BERGE

I live near Leeds and my next door neighbour is a season ticket holder at Elland Road .He's just told me that they've signed Berge .Did I miss it on here or is it just breaking ? If it's true I'll be gutted...I liked him a lot and saw him as a potential major influence next season but to go to Leeds who could be a major threat to us is next term is a major blow .Could only have gone to one other place that would cause me as much grief . If he had to go I thought it would be to the Prem.

I’d hope that to prise Berge from us you would need around £25m. Leeds don’t have that and I’m not sure any of the clubs in Turkey would get anywhere near either. Will need a Premier League team to come in for him to go I reckon.

If it is an amount like that then you’d think it has to be a relegation clause.

I've just found it on News Now and they are saying £ 16m . .They were saying earlier that Mourinho had made a bid . I could see him going there but not DL !

I’ve no idea…
But I DO know Leeds aren’t big enough to get Berge away from us.
Small town team punching well above their weight in the chanpionship, to massive one club city team jabbing spectacularly lower than they should be in the same division?
If billy bremners grandsons played for us they wouldn’t move to Leeds…
Joke club, joke city.

I very much doubt a single bid from a Turkish club means he is definitely going there.
Assuming he doesn’t have a low release clause, and there’s been no reports he does, it’s unlikely any Turkish clubs will be able to afford it. It’s telling this report does not include the alleged bid.
I’ll be very surprised if he ends up in Turkey.

Berge wasn’t at the open training yesterday but neither was JBG so could just have a knock

The ‘source’ for that report is a Turkish Twitter account with 895k followers, yet gets zero interactions on any tweets, barely any views, including this one, and comes with no article. So it’s essentially nothing. Best get used to this with Turkish journalism.

One of the worst parts of getting to the Premier League repeatedly is having to put up with Turkish football and its ‘media’. A cesspit of liars.

Think they were taken earlier in the week and not on Friday. Most players wearing rain jackets on those photos whilst yesterday the majority were in t shirts due to the warmer weather.

That could be a release clause.
In which case we'd have to accept it.

By the sounds of it, the £16m figure was taken from an article reporting simulated football transfers on a football manager game, so I wouldn’t read much in to it.
Hopefully we’ve not been stupid enough to agree to release clauses for any of our players, but if we had agreed such a low one for Sander Berge I’d expect a long list of clubs to have already activated it.

You’d think that if a £16M release clause was true, then Berge would already be snapped up at that price.

Yep, could just be an injury (hopefully small one, if so), but I’d guess more likely that they’re protecting him from the fans and the inevitable questioning that he’d get on his future.

You’d think if they were just protecting him then the likes of Trafford, Odobert and koleosho wouldn’t train either tbf

That’s a fair point.
I just don’t want to contemplate he might be injured or have had an offer accepted

16 mil would be small change for his talents.

Release clauses do exist but I don't believe they exist in every contract or are met as readily as some people would like us believe. It's a handy excuse to offload any said player if you need the money & are also eager to pacify the fan base.
