Berbatov worried over Manchester United move?

Posted by Stevio in Transfers on August 19th, 2008

According to The Times, Dimitar Berbatov is worried Manchester United will move for Ajax striker Klaas-Jan Huntelaar instead of himself.

This comes after United manager Sir Alex Ferguson contradicted himself by now saying he’s looking to sign another striker.

Yesterday he said he was happy to continue with his current strike force.

The Scot told The Sun: “We are working on bringing in another top striker.

“Having added strength up front is a situation I would really enjoy.

“Ideally, I like to operate with four experienced strikers, as we did when we won the Treble when we had Andy Cole, Dwight Yorke, Teddy Sheringham and Ole Solskjaer.”

Meanwhile, Berbatov’s agent Emil Dantchev has said: “We’re entering a crucial period of negotiations,” so perhaps it’s crunch time for the Bulgarian?

Berbatov wants to follow dream

Posted by Stevio in Transfers on August 18th, 2008

Dimitar Berbatov has revealed that he wants to follow his dream, which presumably means him joining Manchester United rather than Barnet.

Berbatov told The Sun: “I’m now in Tottenham but no one can disagree with me wanting to follow my dream.”

On being a substitute on Saturday, he said: “I’m not angry about the decision of Juande Ramos to name me as a substitute. I’m not crying.

“I only show my emotions to my close friends and family.

“But if I was laughing when I was on the bench, people would say I was an idiot.

“I noticed that Eric Cantona never smiled but I don’t know if anyone ever asked him why he didn’t look happier.”

The Bulgarian’s agent Emil Dantchev added: “We have two weeks until the end of the transfer window. I think this will be the most important week.”

Curiously, United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has said he’s happy with his strike force of Carlos Tevez and Wayne Rooney.

The Scot said following their 1-1 home draw with Newcastle: “Tevez will be back next week and Wayne Rooney will be much sharper.

“That will be our strike-force. I am happy to continue that way.”

It’s quite clear without Ronaldo, United lack that flair player to unlock defences. Therefore I hope Spurs continue their stance until United agree to pay a price that Daniel Levy is happy with.

Middlesbrough 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur

Posted by Stevio in Tottenham H. on August 17th, 2008

Another opening day away, another defeat.

With the new additions to the squad, the same old problems - we can’t defend.

Playing Didier Zokora at right-back was a strange one when he was needed in the centre of midfield, as I don’t see Jermaine Jenas or Luka Modric as ‘defensive’.

Also Dimitar Berbatov on the bench? He’s our best player regardless of whether he’s been tapped up or not, therefore he should have started alongside Darren Bent.

Ledley King and Gareth Bale were on the bench too. The latter did make an appearance, my only guess is that both players are being brought back into the team slowly after injuries.

Both of ‘Boro’s goals came from crosses.

David Wheater was on hand to get on the end of a saved Afonso Alves shot in the 71th minute following a cross from Stewart Downing.

In the 86th minute, ex-Spurs striker Mido managed to deflect a cross from Didier Digard into the back of the net.

Spurs got one back from a Bentley free-kick, that was headed home by Robert Huth.

Next up is Sunderland at home on the 23rd of August, where five ex-Spurs players return to White Hart Lane. It’ll be interesting to see if there’ll be any improvement - and new signings.
