Berbatov Doesn't want A Move?

[russe||]

Dimitar Berbatov's agent Emil Dantchev has told BBC Sport the striker is happy at Tottenham but would be interested in a move to "a big club".

The 26-year-old has been a huge hit since joining Spurs in 2006, but Dantchev said he had spoken to chairman Daniel Levy about his future.

"Dimitar wants to fulfil his potential and win trophies now," said Dantchev.

But Levy has repeatedly insisted he is building for the long term, rather than being interested in selling players.

The Bulgarian has regularly been linked with Manchester United and his agent's comments came just before the mid-season transfer window opens.

He scored 22 goals in his first season at White Hart Lane, and so far this campaign he has netted another 11, including four in the 6-4 win over Reading.

"His performances for the club are a testament to his commitment to the fans and his team-mates," Dantchev told The Sun.

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

"I would like to stress this is not about money. This is about sporting ambition.

"But after Tottenham's bad start to the season, it is unlikely they will have the chance to do something big this season."

If this had happened in the summer Berbatov would probably be a Man Utd player by now. Whether or not Fergie will respond to Berbatov's desire to leave once the transfer window opens, I'm not sure.

We spent a lot of money in the summer (even when you work out the money made from selling players) so I doubt the funds are there to meet the fee Spurs would expect for Berbatov.

If Man Utd don't come in for him, who will?

A lot of clubs with money, i would like him, he's so frigging arragont it makes me wanna like him, I expect Chelsea to go for the cheaper option which is Anelka but i would not mind having Berbatov.

Id fucking love Liverpool to blow their load on Berbatov. He and Torres as a strikeforce would be superb. Itd stop games like yesterdays for a start!

Well, when you think of it, our deals for Nani and Anderson were both in installments, while apparently, Tevez is on a 2-year loan, rather than the £20m+ link we were suggested with. Money we made from selling Rossi, Smith and Heinze eclipses the Hargreaves fee.Add to that we're said to announce record turnover, and it really does look as if we are in a position to go for it, if we fancy him, which it looks as if we do.

Him at United would be fantastic, imo. He's a top quality player, any club would take a look at him.

Jermain Defoe and Didier Zokora are Arsenal fans, look who they're playing for.

He's not a Newcastle fanatic, and the only way we'll see him in a Newcastle shirt in the next couple of years is either if they miraculously rise to the Champions League places (or maybe if they could manage UEFA Cup) or if Berbatov suddenly becomes very very terrible.

Not very likely imo, maybe when he's slightly older and on the way down but atm his stock is too high for Newcastle, even if he is perhaps fond of them.
