“I’ve talked to Juande Ramos. He’s a nice man. He said he’s going to rely upon me. He played quite a big role in my transfer.”

Woodgate critical of Berbatov

Posted by Stevio in Miscellaneous on August 30th, 2008

Spurs defender Jonathan Woodgate has slammed striker Dimitar Berbatov for his recent behaviour.

The England international told The Sun: “What he’s done doesn’t give out a great message to the supporters, if I’m honest.

“The boys are working twice as hard for each other. If it was me, I would do it differently.

“I would work hard for the club up until I actually left. I’d still be playing until I was leaving.

“Even if I didn’t want to be somewhere I would still give 100 per cent because that’s the way I was brought up.”

Ginola: Sell Berbatov

Posted by Stevio in Transfers on August 29th, 2008

Former Spurs star David Ginola thinks Spurs should allow striker Dimitar Berbatov leave White Hart Lane.

The Frenchman said: “The problem for Berbatov is that he is playing for Spurs and they are not fighting for the title. They are not fighting for any place in the Champions League.

“He is a young player who has propositions from big clubs and he wants to play at the top.

“Players have more freedom nowadays. There is no point asking a player to play for you if he is not happy.”

United manager less optimistic over Berbatov move

Posted by Stevio in Transfers on August 29th, 2008

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson doesn’t appear too happy with the way things are going in his attempts to sign Spurs striker Dimitar Berbatov.

The Scot said: “I’m less optimistic today. I’ve no idea what is going on.

“It is hard to communicate with some people in this life. We just have to get on with it.”

Perhaps they should finally cough up the £30m asking price, then I’m sure communications would be crystal clear.

Dimitar Berbatov

Posted by Stevio in Tottenham Hotspur on August 26th, 2008

I’m getting fed up with reading about Dimitar Berbatov and every one and their mother saying he should be sold for whatever price Manchester United are willing to pay.

The fact is Berbatov is a world class player, so why should Spurs be bullied and pressured by all and sundry into selling for less than what they’re asking?

If the Bulgarian’s professionalism isn’t to the standard of what a professional footballer should be, then he should be treated accordingly. If that means him being relegated to the Reserves, then so be it.

Berbatov has greatly tarnished his reputation with his actions to get his ‘dream move’. He’s gone from hero to zero in my eyes. I for one will be happy to never see him wear a Spurs shirt again.

Ramos wants Berbatov resolution

Posted by Stevio in Tottenham Hotspur on August 25th, 2008

Spurs manager Juande Ramos wants the situation with striker Dimitar Berbatov sorted.

The Spaniard told The Sun: “We need to get this matter resolved before the transfer deadline.

“If Berbatov goes, we will need time to sign a replacement. We want to have the best centre-forward we can possibly get.

“This is the first time I have faced this problem as a coach and the truth is I have found it a conflicting situation to be in.

“Of course, what has happened has had repercussions on the team and our results.

“Against Sunderland, for instance, we were only able to play with one forward and we didn’t have any substitutes for that player.

“Players go through physical problems all the time but in this case it’s a psychological issue which we have to deal with.

“If Berbatov works well during the week, maybe he will be able to play in our next game. If not, he won’t.

“But we cannot make that decision now. We can only decide that on the eve of the game.”
