Asked if Berbatov actively went on strike to obtain his transfer, Levy said: 'That's something you're going to have to ask him, but clearly he didn't play for those two games. He didn't play.'
'I don't think Berbatov treated this club with the respect that we honestly deserved. We put him on the map. I think he's an outstanding player, but he signed a long-term contract with this club and I think he should have stayed. I had so many conversations with him. He kept saying it was about his ambition to play for Manchester United. It wasn't a money issue. We offered him a new contract and he wasn't even interested in discussing it.'

Cant believe that 41% would be happy to see this piece of shit back at the club. "Oooh he's so sublime"

"Dimitar Berbatov was a player who we brought to this club at a time when Man United were interested in him. He made a conscious decision to come to this club, we invested a lot of money, nobody had ever heard of Dimitar Berbatov when we bought him."
"A year later with 10 days to go to the end of the window he tells us he wants to leave to go to Manchester United. We were very disappointed."

I think we have to do what is in the interests of the club.sammyspurs said:Asked if Berbatov actively went on strike to obtain his transfer, Levy said: 'That's something you're going to have to ask him, but clearly he didn't play for those two games. He didn't play.'

As much as I have very bad memories of that time and loathe him for it, if the man was capable of eating humble pie and acknowledging that times had changed then I think I could just about stomach a return if the result of it was that he and ade registered 40 odd goals between them for next term. With players like Bale and VDV adding to the tally, that's a goal return good enough for top four form. Once he gets old and shit we get rid of him in a heartbeat without remorse.
I haven't voted in the poll yet as I can't fully make my mind up on this point.
Levy said: “We had a player who had refused to play two games for us, having a detrimental affect on the dressing-room”.
The Tottenham chairman added: “We’d known for a year that the player had wanted out of this club. We were very disappointed. Dimitar Berbatov was a player who we brought to this club at a time when Man Utd were interested in him."
No player is bigger than the club. Fuck him, and his diminishing skills.....is this what people see as part of our new era???

Exactly.
I reckon he'd come back in a shot now that we have better players and a realistic chance of CL football next year. He hasn't said he wouldn't come back to us.S.L.R said:
The only thing that surprises me is that he has not been linked to many more Prem clubs. I'm wondering if clubs are being put off by how he behaved first time around with us, and all the whinging he has down over the past season with United.
Shouldn't that put us off too?Smoked Salmon said:
Difference is they can only go by gossip and third party talk and we have actually worked with the guy. Only Levy and the people at United will know whether or not a £5m Berbatov is potentially manageable. The other clubs can only guess and listen to gossip.BrooklynYid said:
I voted yes
He broke my heart but watching him play is a thing of beauty , he looks like a player from the past but with the skills from the present. He strokes balls like he probably strokes the breasts of his WAG
i know he acted like a cunt but he gave me so much joy while wank euh watching the games while he was at spurs

Removing the cunt factor- a berba -Ade combination up front would be ruthless.

I think that just about sums up the conundrum...
...after all, he wouldn't be the first total cunt to have played for us!! But IF he came back, then as long as he's scoring, I reckon most Spurs fans (and football fans if it were their club) will forgive almost anything... except maybe breaking into your Nan's house on Christmas Eve and giving her a good raping!!!
OTHER than that, he's fine by me!!!!
She fucked my best mate....and my brother....and my dad.......but she's soooooo fit, I just had to take her back
Still a cunt. *sighs*
So the rumour mill today has Berbatov off to Wet Spam.
I dunno, but the more I think about it, the more I reckon he could actually do a job for us if he's prepared to come in cheaply. I don't really like the idea of him firing the goalls in for the Spammers.
I'm not suggesting he be our big striker aquisition, but maybe as a second/third choice.
A month ago I would never have dreamed of posting this. But since JJetset is suggesting we are only going to sign two players before the window shuts, and with one of them likely to be a Modders replacement, I'm thinking a surprise cheap deal may be just what we scould use. I reckon him and Ade could get 40 between then in a season.
