All the glitter is not gold. Berba learned this the hard way. Even if he is talented, I'm sure some of the squad would not be thrilled to have him back. Also- things wouldn't be the same. He'd no longer be a fan favorite.
I have a feeling that if he joined and scored bucket loads of goals the issue about how much the fans liked him would soon change.

I am against him coming back for the same reason as many, the way he behaved. But you can't question his ability. He still has it IMO.

West Ham are interested apparently... tons of lolz!!! joke club!
I don't think so. It's a shrewd move if he goes there and scores shit loads of goals that keeps them up.

I think his attitude has put off some of the bigger clubs so I think it's a move that isn't totally out of the question if he wants first team football.

So after last year saying that "moving to any other club would be a step down" (that includes Barca and Real), you wouldnt laugh if Berba signed for West Ham and immediately got involved in a relegation dog fight?

It would be a shrewd move for the pikeys, but humiliation for Berbatov. And if thats the only move that can guarantee him first team football....even funnier.
 
Yeah, he was a bit of a dick about his move to Utd but we got fair wedge for him. It's not like he was a club captain that perpetually lied about his intentions, lost us £25m+ of transfer fee and then left us for our most hated rivals or anything.

His comments, not mine. I've heard so much shit like that from footballers over the years that it wouldn't really register with me. Things can change very quickly in the game. You know that.

Karma. But, frankly, I couldn't give a shit if he feels humiliation since it's not got anything to do with THFC anymore.

Anyhow, I'm not convinced that he's the sort of man who is likely to feel humiliation, such is has sense of arrogance.
 
I would have him back if we can't land a big name striker in this window.

I will always think he is a cunt for what he did to us, but working on the assumption that anything less than Champions League qualification will be a bad start to Project AVB 2.0, we might be able to sign someone truly amazing in Jan if CL looks all but certain or this time next year if we can promise CL football. Until then, Berbatoss has more than enough about him to put a season in for us.

But if we can sign at least one more of the strikers the (N)ITKs have been linking with us, I wouldn't want to see him back.

I want to hate the cunt, but the only way I could ever hate someone capable of [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YG4nQhv1Drw[/youtube] or some of the goals he scored for us and Utd is if he played for/signed for the scum.

I'd still have him back in a heartbeat... does that make me a shallow, naive man?
Not at all.

And whilst you're online, I have a central African friend who is looking to extract his wealth from his former country. OK, so some people at the UN might brand him 'a former dictator, but that's just a label and who doesn't have one of those?

Now if you can just provide me with your bank details, I can transfer the funds, you invoice him for a percentage as 'a handling fee' of say $3million and pass the remainder to his own account.

Oh yeah, and we will need your mothers maiden name, your date of birth, name of your first pet, town of birth for ID checks. One cannot be too careful and we don't get accused of anything by the wonderfully efficient FSA now would we?

And any special four digit numbers that you know might be useful.
 
He was immense for us,let's get him back! Oh but he acted like a complete prick in the 1st couple of games of the new season before he buggered off didn't he,stay away judas. Hang on though, 5m is a bargain,get him back! Oh but he's getting on a bit now,stay away grandad. Hang on though, he's the missing piece, the quality striker at the head of the 433 with more skill than the rest of our strikers put together (that's defoe and...er,defoe),let's get him back! Oh hang on though,he's a tosser. Hmmm does that sum it up for everyone?
 
god i just watched some of the berbatov youtube vids from when he was at spurs. i'd almost forgotten just how good he was. such a shame he never played in the same side as modric and the bale of the last few years.
 
I just watched a couple of video's too and as well as Berbatov being amazing, I'd forgotten just how good Huddlestone's passing is too, looking forward to having him back this season

The bit about him being a tosser did, yeah.

Unfortunately, when they were as good as Berba, you sometimes have to make an exception... he is one of only 2 (recent, that aren't retired or dead) Spurs players I'd have back in a heart-beat... the other one is Modric (the season after next when his Real Madrid/Man City/Chelsea move goes tits up!) ...in which case, I guess Carrick could also come along as part of the Berba deal... a distorted modern take on Ossie & Ricky if you will!

Incidentally, saw this online... so, just to compare and contrast with some other ex-Spurs players... who from THIS list would you HONESTLY have back... there really aren't many are there?

Berb broke my heart, seeing him in Man utds ground buildings on transfer day broke my heart. It can only be likened to seeing your GF with someone else. But i'd still have him back, what a player. it's a shame he wasn't around for the 'Arry era.
The other player off of that list would be Adel Taraabt. Still think he has alot to offer, and was never given a chance at Spurs. When he was given a chance ie the West ham 4-3, he changed the game.
