I have no sympathy for this whiner especially after all his recent comments. He’s played well like 3 times his entire time here. Seems like he’s spent more time injured then available.
To really make a point to him if he’s still here this upcoming season. Just never play him despite having 5 subs. Maybe he will learn to never talk to journalists.
Said this before, take away the 3 goals against City and Leicester which were admittedly pretty damn good, what else does he have to show?
Nothing, absolutely zilch.
He may believe that if he got a lot of time he would develop into a regular starter. Hard to fault a player for that type of confidence. I am always a little suspicious of athletes (in any sport) that are satisfied with the bench.He's quite clearly a confidence player as you could tell when he potted those two goals at Leicester. The following matches he appeared in, he was trying flicks and taking on his man. He looked a totally different player...for about 3 games and then he was back sulking because Conte didn't select him.
I don't fault the man for wanting regular football so it's best for all parties to move on because he won't be getting it here.
I agree with this 100%. I posted a few weeks ago in here when he first started chatting to the media that I actually prefer the attitude of "If you won't play me then let me go to someone who will" but there is a level of decorum that's needed when pushing for a move because of playing time before you start pissing off the fanbase.He may believe that if he got a lot of time he would develop into a regular starter.

The problem is that he played like 70 games for us, under Mourinho he started week in week out. He had a number of key chances he wasted. E.g. against Liverpool, which truly sunk our season.He may believe that if he got a lot of time he would develop into a regular starter. Hard to fault a player for that type of confidence.

Many fans have said Mourinho used him as a defensive forward so he wasn't given enough opportunity to shine. Is there any truth to that? I find that hard to believe. To me Bergwijn just didn't take his chances well enough.The problem is that he played like 70 games for us, under Mourinho he started week in week out. He had a number of key chances he wasted.

Ok he gets benched a bit under Conte, so he wants to go, but why act like it's so unfair?
He did play a more defensive role but still had plenty of chances to score. He scored 1 goal in 21 games in Mourinho's final season.Many fans have said Mourinho used him as a defensive forward so he wasn't given enough opportunity to shine. Is there any truth to that?

If you think that's hard do believe you didn't fucking even watched a game under Mourinho.Many fans have said Mourinho used him as a defensive forward so he wasn't given enough opportunity to shine.

Well the truth is I didn't watch many games under Mourinho. I also can't recall any memorable performances from Bergwijn other than defensively he did his part I guess. I was simply asking if that was specifically asked of him by Mourinho. My football knowledge is not up to high standards. My bad for even asking a question.If you think that's hard do believe you didn't fucking even watched a game under Mourinho.

He'll be this generations Moussa Saib!Nah you're on the money. He's a mediocre footballer (at best) who had a couple of moments. He had loads of chances and mostly just was anonymous or wasted opportunities. Goodbye to him, hope we get a solid fee & he does well.
It'll be very easy to forget he even played for us.
