God knows what Fearon will do if this happens...............

Dimitar Berbatov wants to leave Tottenham if a suitable offer from a club 'which matches his ambition' comes in during the January transfer window, according to comments attributed to the Bulgarian star's agent.

The striker has rediscovered his stunning form for Spurs in recent weeks and fired four goals in the 6-4 win over Reading on Saturday.


However, his agent Emil Dantchev claims the player is keen to join a team with greater trophy-winning potential than the north Londoners.


Spurs chairman Daniel Levy has insisted they are not a selling club, but Dantchev is reported to have told The Sun: 'I have already spoken to the Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy and told him that if a club which corresponds to Dimitar's class and ambition comes in with an offer which suits his current club in January, he would like to be allowed to go.


'I would like to stress this is not about money, this is about sporting ambition, nor has it anything to do with the new manager Juande Ramos. Dimitar is perfectly happy with Ramos and the way he is working but after Tottenham's bad start to the season it is unlikely they will have the chance to do something big this season.'


Manchester United have been linked with Berbatov in the past, but Spurs have always been firm in stating he is not for sale.


Dantchev added: 'Dimitar is OK at Tottenham. I would not say he is happy but his performances for the club are a testament to his commitment to the fans and his team-mates. He has never stopped trying and scoring goals to help the team.


'Fans must understand Dimitar is 27 next month and time is running out for him to play for a club which can match his ambition.


'It is a long-term plan for Spurs. Dimitar wants to fulfil his potential and win trophies now. He would definitely consider a move outside of England, that is not the issue. What matters is a club which matches his ambition and his level, and therefore there are only five or six around Europe. Two clubs outside of England and one from the Premier League are interested in him.'


Levy said yesterday: 'Once again for the record, we are not a selling club, rather we are building for the future. When we have players on long contracts we have no need to entertain offers.'

If he signs with the arse I fear that tone will jump off a cliff somewhere. they are ket with him but without him they would be relegation material.

Berbatov is just the white Anelka, always looking for the next big move. I hope he isnt judged on 4 gls against Reading, i hope Utd sign him.........

At 28, Anelka has played for the following clubs - PSG, Arsenal, Real Madrid, PSG (again), Liverpool, Man. City, Fenerbache and Bolton (7, inc. PSG twice). He is usually booed whenever he visits a former club. It is generally accepted that he has been persuaded to move so many times by his Agent, who is also his older brother, since he hasn't even stayed with leading, successful clubs.

At 26, Berbatov has played for CSKA, Bayer Leverkusen and Spurs (3). When he went back to Bayer with Spurs, he was given a standing ovation by the home fans. Berbatov has yet to play for a really top club, but has probably realised that he is "better" than Spurs i.e. capable of playing at a much higher level than he will achieve with them. Moreover, afaik, he has quite some time left on his contract, so Spurs simply do not need to sell him unless they want to (which they probably will, since he'll go for £20m+ if both MU and Chelsea compete for him)

There is no comparison.

P.S. Why bring either player's colour into it?

he's overated big time!

Imo, he's the most talented all-round striker playing in the Premiership and if he gets the chance to play for a Top 4 side in England (or at least one more stable than Spurs), he'll prove it.

Looking like the heads dropped there at Villa Park. Probably secured a move lately and can afford to play shit again. Another Viduka. Play outstanding when there's a new deal or a big money move to be had.
Agree that he's as naturally gifted a player as I've seen in the Premiership.

As someone who has seen him play, that's my opinion - take it or leave it. Of course, i could be wrong, but if Ferguson or Grant comes in with £20m+ for him this month (more likely July), then you're the one who's going to look like the joke, not me.

(Btw, saying he's the "most talented" is not the same as saying he's the "best"; he'd need to play consistently for a top team to prove that. Which is why I'd say the "best" striker in the Prem since Henry - and Shearer before him - is now Drogba)

[clarshack]

i've been following him since his leverkusen days and he always seems to miss the crucial chances while banging away the ones where there is no pressure.
