Still class but would not work hard enough for the team to warrant a place in it. We cannot afford any passengers, we need a lukaku type player who will hunt the ball down as well as hold it up. Someone who will fight for the ball.

Looked motivated last night but no thanks not for what he done to our club in our time of need.
The knock on effects were massive never forget

You could make an argument that is he is better than any of our current strikers.

Personally would love him back in the squad and would be happy for him to come in Jan and let Ade or Defoe go.

Why have I got a WTF for my Bale comment?

Has everyone forgotten he refused to play for us as he waited out his Real move? Blanked it out already?

Still better than every attacker we have. He's played a more withdrawn role too since signing for Fulham and last season anyway excelled in it. No brainer for me.

With Defoe wanting out for 1st team football in the hope of a world cup year and Berba wanting out maybe we could do a loan swap until the end of the season.

Definitely don't want to commit to buying him back but giving him half a season to prove himself would be acceptable for me.
THIS. Hopefully a win-win situation. Berba gets to play in a decent team and defoe starts week in week out.
Before yesterdays game i did not think Berba had it in him - but he was Brilliant yesterday. His touch, strength, desire and vision - add him to this team and he'll link up the midfield and the wingers and could also form a partnership with Soldado.

Berba is class and although pace isn't everything we would have the slowest partnership the league has ever seen in Berba and Soldado

Pretty sure I read somewhere that Berbatov said he wouldn't have considered coming back to Spurs in the summer he joined Fulham.

Can't see Levy wanting him, considering the way Berbatov left the club. I haven't forgotten the fact that he refused to play for us, then went behind Levy's back to meet with Fergie, and I doubt Levy has either.

I'll put that down to bad representation.

I'd love Berb back. He was a genius.

I think he is the most realistic target, PL proven, still have many things to offer, not too expensive, player wants to leave, I think he wants to play for us too
Ideal January target for me , Perfect target for short term

Defo no !

He refused to play which is the biggest crime in football amateur or pro.

He would not make a big enough difference for us to have to bow before him.

There will be other options.

I would still have him back because he is class but only if the price/wages are right. Still a somewhat risky transfer; I believe his attitude can be pretty poor overall and he can be very disinterested at times. It's moot anyway for me as I very much doubt it would eventuate given the history.

I would take him back but I'd sign another striker too.

Berbs needs competition to keep him in line.

True, but so did Modric and Bale.

Both players we've regularly heard were top professionals and really nice guys.

It seems to be what all modern footballers do when they want to force a transfer.

Berbs has helped get Jol fired twice though so it is a risk.
