- Who should Tottenham sign to replace Berbatov?
Berbatov to toon has to be one of the funniest stories yet during this transfer window. If Berba leaves Spurs (and I suspect that he might in the summer - but not before), then it will only be for a top, top team. And preferably, as far as Spurs are concerned, a team abroad.
Berba is reported to have said that he wants to start winning major trophies soon - before it is too late. He may not be able to do that at Spurs but he is even less likely to do it at Newcastle. To sign for the toon would therefore be a backwards step. So it just ain’t goona, happen - however much the toon might wish for it.
lol to right jim, i think theres about as much chance of berbatov going to newcastle as there is of newcastle winning the premiership.
he will leave spurs eventually, the only possible english team would be manchester united, either that or a top team in europe
Stranger things have happened, if Berbatov is genuinely a Newcastle fan then he could well move to the Toon. Spuds fans can look forward to their team being ripped apart and a steady decline back towards the bottom of the league.
Keep dreaming, Julio. Berbatov wants to win trophies. Moving to Newcastle would take him further away from that aim - not closer.
Berbatov can go and play for Accrington Stanley for all I care .. if he doesn’t want to play for Spurs ..
berba to newcastle? next sundays “exclusive” in the mirror: ronaldinho to derby…. utter toss
You’ll all be laughing on the other side of your face when you see Carrick, Berbatov, Pele, Weah, Cruyf and Gandhi lining up for us at the end of the transfer window!
