JH Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 For us eternal optimists out there, I thought it was worthy of breaking into its own thread. Would you take him? NEWCASTLE are in the hunt to sign Dimitar Berbatov. The Bulgarian striker wants out of Manchester United after his shock Champions League final snub. And Toon boss Alan Pardew is ready to meet United's £7.5million valuation. Pardew is in the market for a big-name striker after Andy Carroll was sold to Liverpool for £35m in January. Berbatov, 30, won the golden boot this season along with Manchester City's Carlos Tevez after hitting 20 league goals. But he did not even make the bench for Saturday's Euro decider against Barcelona. Now he wants a club where he is regarded as the main man and not down the pecking order. Berbatov, who cost United £30.75m in September 2008, has always liked Newcastle having idolised Toon legend Alan Shearer when he was a boy. The former Tottenham star did not travel home with United after his Champions League final axing. He did, however, turn up for the club's victory parade through Manchester yesterday to celebrate their 19th league title. Newcastle, meanwhile, have landed French midfielder Yohan Cabaye from Lille for £4.3m. Cabaye, 25, confirmed the switch to St James' Park after Toon triggered a release clause in his contract. He will sign a four-year deal in the north-east after Newcastle beat the likes of Valencia, Aston Villa and Lyon to his services.

Guest axel Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 As i said in the other thread: For me yes. He's a lazy b****** but you can't argue about his ability. He will probs also be good enough for the prem for the next 2-4 years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luc Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 I'd have him in a heartbeat. More class and goals than our current strike force all together. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AyeDubbleYoo Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 For £7.5m we'd be crazy not to buy him. Not that I think it's a possibility. That said, I would like a forward with a bit of presence and graft as well. I wouldn't like our team to consist entirely of lightweight European playmakers and Tiote.

JH Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 He'd be a brilliant addition, absolutely superb at £7.5m. In all seriousness though, I can't see Ashley sanctioning it/Berba wanting to come. He's good enough to play CL still. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozy Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 Dislike Berbatov hugely, not the type of player we should be targeting, i.e. 30ish, Top 4 cast off, Lazy, Large wages. The article is a disgracefully poor piece of journalism though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Posted May 31, 2011 Share Posted May 31, 2011 No for me, unless he's willing to cut his wages. I hope the whole story is just a smokescreen for us to get someone else. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
