Berson and Phillips depart
Last updated : 23 August 2006 By Norris McWinter
French midfielder Berson made only 13 appearances in two seasons in Birmingham following his £1.6m signing from Nantes in 2004. He spent last season on loan at Auxerre, who he looked like joining before a change in management saw him fall out of favour. Still, he has now got his move, creeping through the exit door left ajar by Phillips having signed for the Baggies in a £700,000 deal yesterday evening.
