No Chance Of Berger Loan - O'Neill
-
Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill has ruled out the possibility of veteran Patrick Berger leaving the club on loan.
The former Czech Republic international signed a new one-year deal with Villa last month yet was linked with a loan move to League One side Oldham - much to the surprise of his manager who insists the ex-Liverpool and Portsmouth star is staying.
"It's the first I've heard of it. I just don't know where that story came from," said the Aston Villa manager.
He added: "Patrik Berger has agreed new one-year contract and I'm delighted about that.
"There's no chance of him being sent out on loan - absolutely no chance of that.
"He did enough over the last few months of the season to earn another deal and he's very much in our plans for next season." -
Berger played first half of the season really well with Stoke, when he returned to Villa in the second part of the season, he proved that he can still create that spark in attack.
I think O'Neill made a wise decision to make him stay and even offered him a contract extension.
Cheers.
