Berba possibly leaving the club is not bothering me for some reason. Sure I acknowledge the fact that he is indeed a great player who has lit up the lane and many other grounds across england and the rest of europe in a spurs shirt, but I kinda think we might be ok without him.
Few reasons and here they are. Team morale. We need only look at the scummers early season form and team spirit after their talisman had flown the coop. other players took greater responability and they looked good. Until that night at the lane ha ha. Berba is something of a talisman for us. Without him I feel the rest of the team will pull together. Bent will get a few more games to show what he can do (I haven't written him off yet). Theres only so many times a young player can take having a senior professional a la berba throw their hands up in the air when something they've tried doesn't come off before confidence takes a major hit. I'm not saying our morale is really bad, just think it could be better.
Prospect of new signings. The very fact that berba was/is so good will encourage and attract a player of better quality to come and try to replace him. Now saying that there may not be many better than him in the owrld at the moment but there may be a better player for spurs who'll fill the void left by his departure. Our signings last summer largely were disapointing. Transfer window was much better. I belivev that a player who sees an oppurtunity to go someplace enhance their reputation would see us as a good prospect. I don't think that the truly big players look at other ones and think theres no way I could relpace them at a club.
The fee we get for him. Chances are this'll be big. Thank goodness he's going while this is still the case. Next season he could be terrible, and at least he's not doing a Sol. The money hopefully can be used to reinvest in playing staff. And heres where I believe we'll do better this summer. Already we've had Modric sign which in fairness has blown me away, the fact isn't that he's a marquee player, it's that he's what we needed. Just like the January trasfer window. Players and positons were filled where we needed. I think with the money from Berba and the investment from our board who do seem to back our coaching staff we could be looking at some really exciting signings, onces which make sense.
Lastly, He deserves the Big Bucks. I don't begrudge Berba anything. He's given us some brilliant memories over the last two years and he in my opinion deserves to get the big move to a bigger club. He woukldn't be out of place in the Champions League final and we all know that. If we were at that point that I'd be gutted he would leave us, but we're not, so good luck to him I say.
Obviously this post is open to disection from all of you lot and it's hardly a comprehensive list of reasons why he can go, but there just the thoughts in my head today.
