Bxl Boy Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Patrice på Tromsø-besøk Publisert av Tore Rismo den 29.06.2004 15:12:48 Kanadiske Patrice Bernier avlegger i ettermiddag TIL og Tromsø en lynvisitt. TIL-trener Per Mathias Høgmo har sett ham i flere kamper i Mossedrakten, senest mot FFK i cupen i år. TIL har i stor grad sortert kortene i forhold til Moss og hva som må til for å få ham frigitt når sommervinduet åpner 1.juli. I prinsipp er klubbene enige om eventuelle overgangsvilkår. Så gjenstår det da å se om det blir noe av en overgang i denne omgang. Patrice skal danne seg et inntrykk av klubben TIL og byen Tromsø, mens TIL ønsker å danne seg et utenomsportslig inntrykk av Bernier. Er det match på dette, samt spillerens personlige kontrakt, da er det stor sannsynlighet for overgang i juli. Høgmo sier følgende om Bernier: - En spennende spiller. Fin alder, 24, god med ballen, godt blikk, dyktig pasningsspiller. Bedre offensivt enn defensivt, og en spennende spillertype. Vi forhaster oss ikke, men fant ut at det var riktig å gå videre med dette nå. Så får vi se hva om skjer.

Guest Jeffery S. Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 Wow, good move Patrice. Transferring up to the leading team in Norway's top flight is nothing to shake your whatever at. Tromso was saved from relegation on the last day of last season. I suspect they came into this campaign just hoping to survive, likely with the squad a bit thin. But now that they are in the lead and have a chance of dethroning Rosenborg they probably realize they'll need some more depth to do so. Otherwise why would a team doing almost everything right be bolstering their midfield? There is a reference in the article to Moss's June 9 Cup match vs Fredriskstad where Bernier scored the Moss goal, and after a 1-1 draw, also scored from the spot as Moss eliminated the higher division club. Seems this is where he was scouted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis_Rancagua Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 I am hoping the same fortunes for Rob Friend. There have been rumours that he is next in line for a major trade out of Moss or perhaps out of Norway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis_Rancagua Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Here's an article from the local press in Tromso: TIL sjekker kanadisk landslagsmann TIL-trener Per-Mathias Høgmo vil i morgen se nærmere på kanadiske Patrice Bernier (24). Av Per Christian Johansen, 08.06.2004 kl. 14:59 Patrice Bernier i aksjon for Moss i årets 1. divisjon. Foto: Digitalsport Den nåværende Mosse-spilleren har gjort et solid inntrykk for østfoldingene i 1. divisjon, og vurderes nå nærmere av TIL. Midtbanespilleren hører også hjemme på det kanadiske landslaget. - Per skal se kampen mellom Fredrikstad og Moss i cupen, og vil se samtidig se nærmere på Bernier, sier TIL-assistent Otto Ulseth til Bladet Tromsø. Bernier har spilt samtlige minutter i ni av kampene for Moss så langt i sesongen, scoret ett mål og pådratt seg to gule kort. På Aftenpostens spillerbørs for 1. divisjon er han nummer 27, med et poengsnitt på 5,4. Les mer om TILs interesse for kanadieren i onsdagens papirutgave.

Luis_Rancagua Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Here's another article from the local press in Tromso. Wow!!!! They are really making this move as a block buster deal for the club. I can't believe that a Canadian would take such center stage publicity in Europe. Bernier besøker TIL i dag Patrice Bernier nærmer seg en TIL-overgang, og besøker tirsdag og onsdag Tromsø for å avklare en eventuell overgang. Av Håkon Grønbech, 29.06.2004 kl. 16:10 Patrice Bernier kan bli TIL-spiller i løpet av uken dersom TIL og Moss blir enige om en overgang. Foto: Digitalsport Som "Tromsø" skriver i dagens avis er TIL i sluttfasen angående Bernier. Daglig leder i Moss, Tore Jobs, bekreftet også at man i løpet av dagen skal samtale om den kanadiske midtbanespillerens eventuelle overgang til TIL. Siden TIL var den første klubben som kom på banen, står de først i køen. Men press fra tre andre interesserte klubber gjør at Høgmo & Co. må skynde frem en avgjørelse. Og Moss vil forlange en kompensasjon siden kanadierens kontrakt ikke utløper for etter sesongslutt. - TIL må betale for å hente han ut i inneværende sesong, sier Jobs. - Hvor mye vil dere forlange? - Akkurat det tror jeg vi lar forbli en sak mellom oss og TIL. Men vi pleier alltid å komme overens med klubber. Vi har en god tone med TIL, og kjenner jo Per (Høgmo) godt, svarer han, og kan i det minste bekrefte at det ikke vil dreie seg om store summer. - Vi har konkludert med at vi tror han forlater oss etter sesongen. Men TIL vil jo ha han med en gang. En hemmelighetsfull TIL-trener Per-Mathias Høgmo vil ikke avsløre om han velger å gå for den kanadiske midtbaneenergikeren som sin første forsterkning. - Vi nærmer oss å ta en avgjørelse rundt han, sier Høgmo. Dersom TIL går for kanadieren og blir enig med Moss om en kompensasjon, kan Bernier bli TIL-spiller etter at overgangsvinduet åpner kommende torsdag. Men man må også bli enig med spilleren selv.

Winnipeg Fury Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Patrice visiting Tromsø. Published by Tore Rismo Canadian Patrice Bernier is coming by for a short visit to TIL (Name of club) and Tromsø this afternoon. Tromsø-coach Per Mathias Høgmo have seen him in several matches this year, wearing the Moss jersey, last time was in the Cup-match against Fredriksatd (FFK). TIL have basicly sorted everything out concerning Moss and what is necessary to release him from his contract when the transfer window opens July 1. In general the two clubs agree on the terms of a transfer. Then it remains to see if it's gonna be for real right now. Patrice will get his impression on the Tromsø-club, while Tromsø wants to get an impression of the person Patrice Bernier. If it's a good match, and his personal terms can be sorted out, there's a huge possibility for a transfer July 1. Høgmo states this about Bernier: An exciting player. Good age, 24, good with the ball, great "eye", good passes. Better offensive than defensive, and an interesting type of player. We won't rush into something, but we decided it was right to move on with this right now. Let's see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luis_Rancagua Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 More local news on the arrival of Patrice Bernier at Tromso. I'm not too sure, but his trade would have cost Tromso lots a money$$$$ http://fotball.bladet-tromso.no/nyhetsarkiv/article.jhtml;jsessionid=SJDAMBJLOE0EPQFIMUDSFEQ?articleID=64147 Koster TIL en halv million I går dukket Mosse-spiller Patrice Bernier (24) opp for å se an forholdene i TIL. I løpet av uken blir canadieren trolig TIL-spiller, for en sum av rundt 500.000 kroner. Av Håkon Grønbech, 30.06.2004 kl. 07:27 I TROMSØ: Patrice Bernier og Tore Rismo møttes i går på Tromsø Lufthavn. Bernier er så godt som klar for TIL, og er nå i Tromsø for å se på forholdene. Foto: Jon Terje Eiterå Som «Tromsø» skrev tirsdag, måtte TIL bestemme seg for om man vil jobbe mot å hente Bernier i går formiddag. Svaret ble positivt, og i løpet av formiddagen rakk man å komme til enighet med Moss om betingelsene rundt en eventuell overgang. Den står og faller på om klubben og Bernier selv blir enige. Etter hva «Tromsø» kjenner til, betaler TIL en kompensasjon på rundt 500.000 kroner for å hente midtbanespilleren fra Moss før kontrakten hans går ut. Samtidig betaler TIL østfoldingene et visst prestasjonsrettet beløp på sikt, og man gir bort en andel av summen ved et videresalg. – Jeg kommenterer aldri størrelser, sier Tore Rismo når «Tromsø» konfronterer han med betingelsene. – Det dreier seg om en overkommelig sum for TIL. Vi finansierer han i utgangspunktet selv. Forballinvestering bidrar Samtidig åpner Rismo for at man får bistand fra firmaet Fotballinvestering A/S til en del av summen. – Det er nærliggende at vi tar en runde med for eksempel Fotballinvestering, sier han. Styreleder i firmaet, Ole Johan Simonsen, fortalte «Tromsø» mandag at de er interesserte i å bistå dersom det blir en overgang. I Tromsø Bare timer etter at klubbene ble enige, ankom midtbanemotoren Tromsø, og tilbragte kvelden i går og formiddagen i dag sammen med Rismo & Co. – Han er her for å danne seg et inntrykk av byen og klubben. Det er kun snakk om kjemien oss imellom nå, og ikke forhandlinger, sier Rismo. Hvis både TIL og Bernier er positive etter møtene, skal man sluttføre forhandlingene om en personlig kontrakt, før Bernier trolig blir TIL-spiller fredag. – Vi snakker om en kontrakt på to og et halvt til tre år. Rammene har vi allerede diskutert med agenten hans, Patrik Mörk, sier Rismo. Karrieresprang Til «Tromsø» forteller den kanadiske midtbanespilleren at hovedårsaken til at han kan tenke seg å spille for TIL er spranget i karrieren. – Jeg tenker på karrieren min. TIL gjør det godt for tiden, og jeg har hørt mye positivt om klubben, smiler han. – Det er viktig for meg å få spille i eliteserien. Og samtidig er det positivt å vite at man da blir fulgt av treneren i en eliteserieklubb, sier han og tenker på at Per-Mathias Høgmo så Bernier i cupkampen mot Fredrikstad nylig.

Dandal Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 quote:Originally posted by Loud Mouth Soup If I read that right, it's 500,000 kroner. Comes out to: 36,000 pounds 89,000 dollars (CDN) In addition to the transfer fee there is also a possible future fee based on performance (a certain number of league match appearences?) and a percentage of a coming transfer fee. Needless to say the club refuse to comment on the sum or on any other financial details of the deal, so this is pure speculation from the newspaper.

bettermirror Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Well, I gotta say, in the matches I've seen him a part of the national team he's seemed quite scattered, uninvolved, heavy touched, and as the article said, certainly better offensively than defensively. He simply hasn't impressed me other than his speed. But, I have to say that this is not only a good good quality move for him, but for our nat's as well. If he can latch on and maybe get some UEFA cup or Champions League qualifying matches, or even move to Rosenborg, than GREAT for both Patrice and our nats. Well done.

Guest Ed Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 quote:Originally posted by Grizzly I thought he played a strong game in the second Belize match. I would agree with that. With the absence of Hume in Game 1 vs Guatemala, I think Bernier should be given serious consideration for the right flank as I don't want to see De Rosario playing there. I want De Rosario up front with Radzinski, not out wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Massive Attack Posted July 2, 2004 Share Posted July 2, 2004 I agree with Ed's striker formation. We need to play our 2 best strikers up front. De Rosario and Radzinski are our 2 best IMO. Pesch should be used off the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vicenç Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 Info about Tromso http://www.til.no/ViewDocument.aspx?DocumentID=68 TIL - in brief: * Tromsø IL is, as far as we know, the northernmost premier league club in the world, located some 500 km north of the Arctic Circle. * Together with Rosenborg FC and Lillestrøm, Tromsø IL was the longest serving premier league club in Norway, maintaining its premier league status consistently since the promotion in 1985. It’s fair to say – against all odds. Unfortunately, we were relegated to the 1. Division after finishing 14th in the premiership 2001. However, we achieved re-promotion in the first attempt in 2002. We are consequently back where we belong - in the Norwegian Premier League. * Tromsø IL has never won the league, but was runners-up in 1990 and finished third in 1989. The Norwegian cup has the same position in Norway as the FA Cup has in England. TIL has won the cup trophy twice – in 1986 and 1996. * On three occasions Tromsø IL has participated in European Cups – twice in the Cup Winners’ Cup (1987, 1997) and once in the UEFA Cup (1991). In addition, we played the UEFA Intertoto Cup in 1995. * The club is well run with a healthy economy, mainly due to its ability to find, develop and sell valuable players. This priority paid off during the late 90's. However, the past two years has been economically tough, as the market has changed dramatically. The gross 2003 budget is NOK 30 million. * Average, home game attendance: 4.000 * A youth section with 40 unisex teams from the age of 6-16 years. * A senior section consisting of teams – regular professionals, junior A and junior B. Oddities: * Airplane is the only means of transportation to all away games – the closest being 500 km away – in Bodø. * Identity: TIL wants to be recognized and identified as the club for the town of Tromsø and the entire region, but also as a club for the northernmost part of Norway. In the 2003 squad, 20 out of 23 players originate from this region. In addition, it is remarkable that only three of the players in the squad have played for other premier league clubs in Norway. * Tromsø IL is renowned for its talent for producing class players. Among the top players who have played for Tromsø IL and now play elsewhere in Europe can be named: o Sigurd Rushfeldt- Austria Wien (Racing Santander,Spain/Rosenborg 1996) o Tore Andre Flo- Sunderland (Rangers, Chelsea/to Brann 1995) o Ole Martin Aarst- Standard Liege, Belgium (Gent/to Anderlecht 1997) o Rune Lange- Club Brugge, Belgium (to Trabzonspor 2000) o Moreover, Morten Pedersen (Gent) and Steinar Nilsen (Milan - Napoli), are now back in the Tromsø-shirt again.

Luis_Rancagua Posted July 5, 2004 Share Posted July 5, 2004 According to Arsenalno1, our new Norwegian representative, this is what he had to say about Patrice Bernier at Tromsø: Patrice Bernier will move to my city - Tromsø - and play for the current league leaders. Hopefully, he'll make his debut on 25th of July in Tromsø's homematch against HamKam. It will be exciting to follow the progress of this great attacking midfielder who's really shone in Division 1.

Anyone know why he will wait until the 25th to play for them? They open a transfer window in Norway it seems mid-season (have played 14 of 26 now), but you'd think he'd be able to play for them right off. Odd (and not Olivier's).
