Tottenham star Dimitar Berbatov has confirmed that
joining Manchester United is his 'dream'.
Sir Alex Ferguson is keen on landing the Bulgarian striker and
has been chasing him for most of the summer, but as yet no deal has
been agreed between the two clubs.
Tottenham boss Juande Ramos left Berbatov on the bench for their
opening day defeat at Middlesbrough, and there was a distinctly
mixed reaction from the travelling support when Ramos brought him
on.
Now Berbatov has admitted that moving to Old Trafford would be a
'dream' move for him.
"I'm now in Tottenham but no one can disagree with me wanting to
follow my dream," said Berbatov - who insisted he was not annoyed
at being left out of Spurs' starting line-up at the weekend.
"I'm not angry about the decision of Juande Ramos to name me as
a substitute. I'm not crying.
"I only show my emotions to my close friends and family.
"But if I was laughing when I was on the bench, people would say
I was an idiot.
"I noticed that Eric Cantona never smiled but I don't know if
anyone ever asked him why he didn't look happier."
Berba's agent Emil Dantchev admitted he was hopeful a deal could
be struck this week.
"We have two weeks until the end of the transfer window. I think
this will be the most important week," he said.
Meanwhile, ex-Spurs star Mido - who scored the winning goal for
Boro against his former club, feels Berbatov needs to move as he
believes his head is not with the White Hart Lane club.
"I don't think Berbatov's head is there anymore," Mido said. "It
is not with Spurs and I think he is looking for a move.
"I think he is a very important player for the club. You can see
Spurs without Berbatov are a different team. Without Keane as well
they are a different team.
"They are huge players. It will be very difficult to replace
Berbatov. He is a class player. He is not affected by anything
around him.
"It was the same with Keano. He is one of the best players I
have ever played with. Losing them I think will be difficult for
Spurs."
why hang on to a player who doesnt want to play for you? it time
to move on spurs. sell berba and get asharavin. Case close!!!
