DNA Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 This one might have legs, we tried to sign him in the summer but it didn't quite materialise. Linked with West Ham & Lazio, impressed against Liverpool in the Champions League. Quote Sander Berge: Genk midfielder wants exit with Sheffield United keen to sign him Genk will be keen to keep their highly-rated midfielder, but with just 18 months left on his contract, it's likely they will let him go. The 6ft 4" holding midfielder has scored four goals in 23 league appearances for the reigning Belgian champions this season, along with six outings in the Champions League group stages.

Dave Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 It's all well and good being a world beater on FM but the hard work starts here if hes to match the intensity of Chris Wilder's Sheffield United.
DNA Posted January 30, 2020 Author Posted January 30, 2020 Over the last 4 years, real life has turned into a Fifa save. What a phenomenal rate of progress, funnily enough.. the day I put down the controller was the start of the Wilder era. So pleased we're strengthening from a position of strength, best time.. as talent like Berge know we're safe, whereas next season, we start all over again.
Lucas Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 Oh bollocks. From an FPL perspective, does this mean Lord Lundstrum will be benched?
Dr. Gonzo Posted January 30, 2020 Posted January 30, 2020 He looked like Genk's best player when we played them. Granted, you never know how good a player is after just watching 2 matches of him really. But if I was to guess how he'd do based off that... my guess would be I think he'll fit in nicely.

For sure, I'd imagine Berge will be bedded in initially though. Lundstrum tried to get clever with us over his contract situation, him and his agent asking for the world in negotiations , huge mistake now.

Lucas Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 I just watched a video of Sander Berge behind the scenes signing for Sheffield United. Was good to see Chris Wilder actually go meet him at the hotel and bring him into the club introducing him to everyone himself, then showing him round the city on the way to the training ground. That isn't something that normally happens in the top flight. No wonder Berge said himself, straight away he felt at home there. Very good to see. You can understand why they have a good team bond there.

I now live 7 miles from Sheff and I can confirm it's one big massive shithole. Some parts of South Yorkshire are mint. Sheffield though

Sheffield though You're joking right?, not sure what quantifies a 'shithole' to you and what parameters of Sheffield we're talking about here but it is the 4th biggest city in England, so obviously with such land mass you're gonna get shit parts & 'estates'. Sheffield is now mostly a multi-millionaires play thing for the chinese, money everywhere, new china town being built next to the stadium, new accomodation and towers popping up all the time, new city centre, re-developed totally in the space of 2 years with The Moor project. Sheffield is the greenest city in England too, more trees than any city in europe. Oh, and the best nightlife in the uk hands down, plus.. a premier league team to boot

The Artful Dodger Posted February 6, 2020 Posted February 6, 2020 Sheffield is a great city, far preferable to the miserable, ugly town like Leeds down the road. Spent many a happy night out round the Leadmill/Plug back when I was a teenager.
