Bergets touch is quite good. He regularly receives difficult passes and his first touch places the ball out of reach of the defender and where he can get off a shot. He’s been unfortunate in the last two matches to have had two shots saved while the shot placement was optimal - away and on the ground.
He makes a runs and hustles -- big deal !!! He has no skills and to pay him 816K is absurd.
I'm not going to debate when you change the terms. You said it would be great that he misses some games. I disagreed. You want to debate salary value now, find someone else. His salary stays on the books when he gets called up, so it's irrelevant to your point.
I don’t necessarily disagree that he’s better as a forward, but I think he was a wide mid before moving to a forward role like last year or 1.5 yrs ago.
Where did the target man striker talk come from? He has good hold up play to do it and is pretty good winning balls in the air (at least those in the middle of the field, not so much off of set pieces), but I haven't been able to find much about him being a target man before coming here. Below is the post from that Swedish guy that came on here:
Looking back, this is pretty spot on.joo-inge bear - get (as a sidenote, Berget means The mountain in norwegian/swedish)
Dude who never gives up. He´s abit more uneven in his performances than tinnerholm, he have had a few weaker periods during the 3 years he was in my team. He is still useful when having a bad day thou as he still runs both to open up for the rest of the team and works hard when the other team got the ball. But hes finishes and quality of passing goes down.
Downside of his work ethics might be that he occasionally works abit to hard - meaning he might make some mistakes with the ball due to high pulse. Still, he makes alot of points and is good defensively aswell when playing on the wing.
He was a victim of his own success on the wing, as he himself prefered to play striker, yet he was good enough on the side that he ended up playing there mostly. He never complained about it or made a fuss, but he did state that he saw himself mostly as a forward and that while he would play and do the best he could wherever the coach put him he wanted to play as forward.
(I´m not quite sure that I´m using the right words there - I dont normally discuss sports in this language, pulse in english does mean the amount of beats your heart does /minute right?)
