David28 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 May sound stupid, but i don't want him. I can understand people saying that about certain French players, but Berbatov? How could you not want him? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
womblemaster Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 i would take him as the icing on the cake. DOnt think he would fit the wages bill tho is only problem...we have younger strikers to do the running aorund bit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
fredbob Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 He is 31 in january. Too Old. I'm sure we have no interest in this player. He's a bit like Viduka though, it's not about his pace. It's his incredible first touch and vision. I can see him still influencing games and scoring for another few years at least. Would be worth it if around £10m. We still would need to get another striker though. Agree with this, although I'm an a fan of the transfer policy, I'd happily make an exception for berbatov. Fantastic player who would really benefit from being the main man. He doesn't rely on any physical attribute so could easily play at the highest level for another 4/5 years. I'm gonna go out on a limb though and say hes slightly out our league though, although that won't stop me salvating at the thought of having, Ben arfa, zog and marveuax all playing off berbatov.

Jack Flash Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Sky Bet: Jermain Defoe is now odds-on to join Arsenal at 4/5 while Newcastle are 6/4 favourites to sign Dimitar Berbatov. According to them, we've been the favourites to sign him for at least a month. Same with Carlton Cole. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

biggs Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Just doesnt fit in with what our owner sees as good business tbh but would be a good signing . Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RupertCommunicator Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I'd like him with us, but only if he'd take a 3 year deal. Plus I wouldn't pay more than 10 million for him, absolute tops! This does seem inflated, but we are desperate for a top striker. It would be such a waste not to put Ba and Berbatov in front of NZogbia, Ben Arfa, Tiote and Marveaux! We could push for Europe next season! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leazes1986 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Not a chance in hell, we wouldnt pay the transfer fee and certainly wouldnt pay for £80,000-£100,000 a week wages. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Froggy Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Could always wait until next year where you might get him for free. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmonkey Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Quality striker when he's in the mood, but don't think he'd work up front on his own (assuming Ben Arfa plays behind him). Doesn't have the legs/work rate for that isolated role, and most likely needs someone to do the legwork for him, as at Spurs he had Keane and at ManU he's had Rooney to do that. Lack of pace specifically is an issue, if we have a relatively slowish striker up front then team will just push up on us. But even at 30, large wages, a transfer fee we'd almost certainly loose (he'll be worth £0 probably when he's 33), and the risk incompatability with this new team we're forming, I would much rather him than a donkey like Adebayor.

Marko NUFC Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 I would take him in a blink of an eye...he is just quality although we haven't spent too much money on transfers so far, its really good to see club making good free transfers in Ba and Marveaux... ahh, just imagining squad like this one --------------------------Harper Simpson(or new RB)---S.Taylor----Colo----Enrique ----------------------Tiote-----Cabaye -----Marveaux-----------Ben Arfa----------Jonas (Zog) ------------------------Berbatov SUBS: Krul, R.Taylor, Williamson, Barton, Zog(Jonas), N.Taylor, Ba, Matuidi, Barnetta, Shola, Lovenkrands, Best... real depth on bench...i would only get new RB and good CB, ofcourse if we don't sell Enrique :S Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Zog, Barnetta and Matuidi on the bench. I think I'd jizz myself blind if we started this season with that sort of potential off the bench. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Might be the only signing that would make me buy a new shirt. Him or Barton if he stays. But Berbatov's Nr. 9 shirt would definitely be a must-have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
