Did Berbatov do anything wrong?

[Capocrimini]

I know he wanted to leave spurs the ****, but he didnt make any public statements, he didnt refuse to play and he didnt say anthing regarding the management of Spurs. His move was identical to Carricks, diffrence being this time Man Utd were caught out loadsa times trying to be underhand. Also you have to remember that Utd were in for him when we signed him first, hence the fat red bastard would have had links to Danechev already. But at least we saw Berbs at his peak, its all down hill from here I hope they get relegated.

, he didnt refuse to play

Didn't he refuse to turn up to our last two games?

And we tryed to cove it by saying his head wasn't in the right place, or something?

 

[AngerManagement]

I'd say yes he did, certainly if he met with Man Utd without the permission from us to do so, which it appears he did

 

[whl_yid1982]

And he was hardly professional about the way he's conducted himself over the last few weeks. If he'd carried playing for us which he was contracted to do and kept his mind on the game then i wouldn't have felt so bitter about his actions

 

[spiderniall]

and the end of the day he's gone
he hasnt done himself any favours and as someone posted on a different thread
when he throws the toys out of the pram at utd winenose will come down on him like a tonne of bricks and he'll be saying its his dream to join real

 

[ipuk]

Didnt he sign a manure shirt as well last week!

Where as Milner ran his fucking arse off against Coventry for Newcastle dispite handing in a transfer request and about to sign for Villa.

Berbatov? Berbafuck!

And then there was Corluka's performances for City despite being our player.

I think it goes back to the previous year...we almost lost him then but managed to buy another year. He seems to have played a straight bat throughout the saga. It was his agent who advised him...it was also in the agents interest to agitate for a change...commission. It was all about a group of snakes Levy, SAF and the agent. Berbatov has been roasted for weeks by the media and just took it......even when the fans shifted away from him he said nothing. Credit to him.

Its not just Corluka's performances, it was his interview as well.

Knew he was still a City player at that time and done an interview as a city fan knowing that he would end up with us.

 

[Wellspurs]

Im on hols in Bulgaria at the moment and the locals think he is a lazy sulk!
He is on the front page of all their papers, by the way the "bat" in Berbatov is pronounced like a cricket bat here!!

Sorry, the only reason I highlighted Milner was because I watched that match and he was by far the best player on the pitch. He ran his heart out. Professional. Berbafuck is about as professional as those pikeys who offer to do your drive.

Some players are blessed with that professionalism whereas others (berafuk) believes he is above all that and can mope around doing what every he wants, did anyone see the smug look on his face in the paper this morning? If i was a spurs player playing against him on December 13th i'd chop him in half and welcome him back to WHL.

Then nick your motor and leave the drive with holes and cracks all over it haha.

 

[Glasseye]

I don't understand people saying "oh berbatov didn't say anything, he kept his mouth shut....." In my view his agent was the one that was doing the speaking, and his agent represents him, therefore unless he came out and actively denied what his agent was saying, he was effectively endorsing what was being said.

As for not playing the last two games, I don't think we will ever know whose decision it was not to have him there, but well as I said last night....I will always respect the skills of the man, but I have little or no respect for him as a person.

 

[Petyr]

15 pm Berbatov will give p/c in Sofia. I'm sure he is going to say only good things about Spurs. If he ever scores a goal against Spurs, he wouldn't celebrate it even if Spurs fans boo at him all the time.

Let's not be so bitter. 46 goals, over 30 assists and £20m profit. Would it be better if Ferguson signed him for £10m two years ago and Spurs missed on him? No.

That's all well and good Petyr but he should have been professional enough to give his all in our first 3 games this season yet he felt his head wasn't in the right place. I am sorry but at the time we were still paying his wages and it is his job to be available to play and give his all until we sold him to Utd. It not about what he achieved with us but more how he treated us in the end in that he probably felt he did nothing wrong.

Very true, maybe if he had played for us and gave his all we wouldn't be sitting joint bottom of the league and without a win.

What if his decison not to play resulted in us losing 4-6 points over those games? come the end of the season they could be the differnce between us qualifing for Europe or not.

As a professional who was stll employed by us at the time he owed us more then he gave.

 

[Flatters]

If you think Berba expressing a desire to move to Man Utd is doing something wrong then yes.

Otherwise, there's absolutely no evidence of he himself doing anything at all wrong. Juande/Gus said that he wasn't selected this season for not being in the right frame of mind, but we've absolutely no idea why he wasn't in the right frame of mind. Obviously it would have been to do with the Man Utd transfer, but we don't know what it is exactly that was preventing Ramos was selecting him. Perhaps he was acting like a ****, but perhaps it was the media that just got to him and affected him too much. We've no idea. Perhaps only Berba knows. Perhaps even he's not sure himself.

I have no reason at all to have any dislike whatsoever for Berba. I'm not petty enough to have any reason to dislike him for wanting to go to Man Utd, because they're probably the most famous football club and the best in the world right now.

I wish Berba well, and hope he doesn't get booed too much by our fans, although I very much expect he will.

Bottom line - Milner and Corluka played out their respective games for their teams before they left, KNOWING they were leaving. Poor old Dimitar's "mind wasn't in the right place" to come to work for 3 games... of which Spurs only registered only 1 point and 2 goals...

I'm not counting that OG rubbish. C'mon Pavlyuchenko and COYS!!!
