Tuesday, November 6, 2007 at 6:36PM One minute, Jol claims there wasn't a problem with Berbatov, the next he says there is. Make your mind up, Martin. First he claims he didn't have to ask Berbatov to get up and warm-up in the game against Newcastle. Now he claims that's exactly the case. In his new book. Yes, a book. Probably had an extra chapter added to it recently.
He harps on about Berbatov being a bit like Cruyff. 'Gifted'. But apparently, not a figher. So, why the fuck play him week in and week out? Bit of a contridiction there Martin. Either he is good for the team or he isn't, yet you had no problem playing him and yet now suddenly you reveal he isn't a fighter. Excellent selection work right there. Stick the ones with no heart into the team to lead us.
In addition to all this, today Berbatov Senior is apparently telling everyone his son wants out THIS January.
"My son doesn't feel happy at Tottenham any more. He wants to leave."
If that isn't 'ITK' I don't know what is. In addition (the Daily Mirror) add a nice little quote from a club insider (made up) stating:
Sources close to the striker added: "Dimitar is telling everybody that he doesn't want to stay and would like to leave in January."He feels that he made a mistake in the summer by not asking the club to sell him when Manchester United were interested."
Thank you for stating the obvious.
Berbatov can go. World class player when he feels like it, horrific attitude towards the club. Shame really, its been a while since we've had a geniune world class player at the club, and it might be a while longer before we get another. Though he hasn't done his reputation any favours with his sulking. But then he is bound to suggest that Spurs haven't done him any favours with their politics.

yeah! See? it's becoming clear now!Agents lie. dads don't! and ramos said he wanted to find out the true reasons behind Berbo's problems. Well, one is clear. He now recognises: he made a mistake and played the lying fool with Spurs and Man U. The other is another mistake, the biggest one.A secret one. I can tell Ramos about it, if he calls me...
Stop teasing us. Spill them.
Isn't Berbatov already involved in contract renegotiations? Cue stories for him wanting to leave to help his agent get the best deal out of Tottenham. The 'stories' appear to have come from his dad and his agent. All a bit obvious to me.
If DB wants to leave Spurs then there's no hurry from our perspective. He is under contract and Spurs shouldn't look for anything less than what he is worth 'on his day'. Also care to point out where Berbatov states he wants out?
The time he spent at Leverkusen doesn't suggest that he is the type of player that buggers off as soon as things get a bit sticky. I won't believe he's off until he's actually sold. In the meantime, let's stop talking about him as if he pulled the heads off puppies for fun and give him a massive cheer on Sunday.
oh, when a man loves a woman...
Not another 'he is gay and his lover walked out of him' run of the mill footballers story, surely not?
