Bernier is a technically gifted player who also works hard and combined with his routine, he is a perfect player for our squad, "said Birger Jorgensen. 31-year-old Bernier has appeared 45 times on the Canadian A-team for which he debuted in 2003 in a friendly against the Czech Republic.

Keano Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 good for him! bad for montreal. good for CMNT! He has stated that he and the Impact are on the same page, in that if he comes here it will be in the MLS not this year, and that in the meantime he should be trying to play at the highest level possible. That said, I wonder if there is anything in place should he want to come here in the middle of his one-year contract in Denmark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheKottonmouthed1555362307 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Good for Bernier and with it being only for a year, the door is open for an MLS move still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the biologist Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 http://fr-ca.actualites.yahoo.com/bernier-embauché-par-un-autre-club-danois-175935609.html According to Marc Tougas in this article there is an out clause in January. In this article, he really sounds like a guy who takes MTL like a last resort solution. Before the Impact contacted him seriously, he was constantly saying "They should make me an offer". Now that both the Caps and Impact have talked to him, he now implies he wants to stay in Europe as long as he can, saying about MLS "yes, no, maybe, I don't know, we'll see, only the future will tell" and the likes. Exemple from the article: "If there's a possibility to go in MTL, that this possibility is good and I'm still interested, I don't close the door." He also adds: "I negociated with MTL, they made some offer, we discussed, discussions are ongoing, and... we'll see. For now, my mind's with the club where I currently am." Talk about beating around the bush ! He can sign with another team till mid-January, but when you read between the lines, that means "If a better team than Lyngby BK IN EUROPE calls me, I'll go there right away. If it's an MLS team, that's different, they better be prepared to give me a long-term deal with much more money". In other words, I'll do everything that's possible to stay in Europe my entire career, but you can buy me if you're an MLS team AND I don't have a serious offer in Europe at the same time. Patrice, it's perfectly understandable you want to play in Europe for the rest of your career. I myself would do the same. BUT PLEASE STOP BULLSH*TTING US. Please stop with the "It would be a dream come true to play in MTL, my hometown, in front of my friends and family in the top tier league in NA". Please. After saying the Impact's FO guys weren't transparent with their intentions (you were exactly right), please stop doing the same afterwards. Be transparent with your fellow canadian fans. I really hope I'm wrong all the way. I like the guy. It's just the impression that I get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurosawa1555362267 Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 I think they (MTL) probably offered something that he felt was not good enough and they are still negotiating, but since he has to play he signed in Denmark. Good for him and I hope he comes to Mtl next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villus Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Football is a business, hes leaving the door open to MLS but at the same time he does'nt want to go unless he gets a good deal. Its perfectly understandable especially at his age where in a few years hes not going to be able to make a living playing football anymore.
