Colos Short and Curlies Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Not even a tenuous source here, but its a great rumour all the same. Was speaking to a couple of colleagues who have been in London last week (not my boss who tenuously knows Ashley) and they spent a night in the casinos. Anyway, they claim that there was a buzz around one of the tables that Ashley has offered to take Berbatov on loan to get him out of Spurs but away from ManU. Would be the sort of banter I could imagine between MA and PK and the best rumour I've heard all summer! (It(k) would never happpen and I doubt its more than drunken poker banter but thought I'd post it anyway) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cronky Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 So Spurs would end up with no Berbatov and no money to get a replacement. I can't see them going for that one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToonTastic Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Yeah but I guess they wouldn't be paying out his wage we would. Won't happen though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinkeye Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 I would never want a player at St James' that didn't really want to be there, Berbatov seems to have his heart set on a move to Man Utd and anything else would be second best............ Would be a bad move for us in my opinion although I do know that he is supposed to have a soft spot for NUFC. Who knows what is going on behind the scenes really?

Benwell Lad Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Berbatov's attitude was exactly the same last year when we beat Spurs 3-1 at home and he sat sulking on the bench - not long before Martin Jol left. Talented player - lousy attitude, I'd rather not have him. Anyone old enough may remember a certain Terry MacDermott doing exactly the same to us back in the 70s when he had his heart set on a move to Liverpool. Treat us like sh** despite making his name here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
hallihg Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Berbatov would cheer up with Keegan behind him. We'd also just remind him of this photo and hell remember his dreams as a kid. Let Shearer talk to him Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ericz Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 Berbatov at Tottenham: 1. For the club, they are paying him wages but not using him, would be a big waste of money and it can be better spent elsewhere 2. For the player, not playing a single game for the entire season, will he be happy? I guess not. Berbatov to Manchester United: 1. Strengthen Manchester United Squad (There is no denial that he is a decent player at the very least) 2. Scupper Tottenham's attempt at overtaking one of the big 4 (If that is what Tottenham intended) Berbatov to Newcastle United: 1. From a realistic point of view, it does not matter if he does not love the club, what is important is he can perform Loving the club, wanting to be here permanently is a bonus I guess Otherwise, in this mercenary market today, it is not a big deal. Surely not all our players are here because they genuinely want to be a newcastle united player for life... or they love us to bit - They are here either due to high wages, old-age, lack of better options or using us as a stepping stone etc (What else?) - That reminds me of Shearer (I kinda salute him because he must have plenty of options to choose from at his peak and yet he chose us and remained loyal to us till he retired) --> but such players are rare nowadays. 2. It is far better than his current situation at Tottenham (unless the situation improves of course - Like a Barry U-Turn?) Ideal situation for Tottenham: - Patch back is the most ideal situation (cannot see it happening at the moment) - Otherwise, sell Berbatov but not to an EPL club Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
