I love players like Berbatov with his calmness and arrogant technique on the field but as a human being the way he behaved and pissed on our club, sulking his way out of Spurs there is no way I want him anywhere near our club again.

Poch: Okay Dimi for this system to work we need you to press from the front.

DB: Bulgarian for what?

Poch: We need you to really put the effort in and put pressure on the oppositions defenders.

DB: What is this effort that you speak of?

Poch: You know...running and stuff?

DB: Nope...never heard of it. I'm going outside for a smoke.

Poch: FFS...bring back Adebayor!

This. I can't think of a striker more unsuited to a high pressing game. Even when he wasn't approaching 34.

Funny how people just excepted Ginola despite his utter uselessness off the ball.

I remember my Dad used to shout blue murder at the television over Ginola and his complete lack of effort.

Obviously it's possible to have a team with a player who is a bit of a luxury, but it simply wouldn't work with the way Poch is trying to do things.

I don't know, I think Soldado is "luxury" at the moment. By that I mean he's not a player that presses but waits. Now if you put Berbatov in place of him, who has been very effective for us before, then I think it would work.

But i'm not the manager so fuck knows :)

That was 7 years ago. He's 34 next month.

People bitch about Ade not pressing.....he would look like a machine compared to Berba...

Why do we need they Mitchell bloke? Need to identify a striker that will work like a demon off the ball, press and run 13km a match. Nah just bring back Berbatov.

Yes but Soldado has largely been a waste of space who Poch clearly doesn't want to play, so I'm not sure that's a good example!

Not sure I follow.

Never mind, it looks like I've (unsurprisingly) screwed up. I saw the 'Watch it' emoticon thing under your post, and thought you'd been warned because you said there's a reason he's linked to Leicester. However, it appears you've got that 'Watch it' thing as a signature?

He's a known troublemaker :cautious:

i would always love to welcome berba back to the club and we do need a striker that can be relied apon to give harry kane a rest every once and a while. This option should be cheap enough just to hold us to the summer, as well and preferable a striker who is still eligible to play in both the league cup and europa.
