King or Berbatov : Who is more important to Tottenham

[pagevee]

simple as...

no player is bigger than the club...

king is more of a yid than berbatov will ever be...

berbatov is a fantastic talent and amazing player...

king is still king, no questions.

 

[Berbati]

I think that's bollocks! I think the point you miss and the point that Berbatov is always quick to point out is that football is a team game. He is one member of a team and very important to the team. However he is not irreplaceable, we were here as a club before Berba and in overall in the season that he joined us did not do any better than the season before he was with us (both 5th place). My objection to 'fans' like you is that as you said you started to follow Spurs after Berba joined and so as such are more likely to be a Berba fan than a spurs fan whilst I believe that no individual player, King or Berba is bigger than the club itself.

The only reason that Berba will leave at the end of the season is that we are a business first and a football club second. This business can cash in to the run of a 22m profit and as a business they will cash in.

When and if that does happen I'll miss watching Berba play for us but i will not go out of my way to watch his new team and I will not morph into a Manure or Chelski fan.

So the answer to who is more important cannot be made, the answer to who is more important when then are playing is clearly King, who is more important to keep kit, again king, who is more important to replace with an understudy, then King.

What exactly is bollocks? Have you read my post?

king most definately - not only world class but also a leader, captain and has pledged his future to spurs - how more important than that can a player be? :shrug:

quite a below par performance by berbati on this by the way - that's bollocks indeed, mate :wink:

It's simple really. One will be a club legend (if he isn't already) the other will most likely be leaving soon.

King is the only answer.

Ledley is definitely already a Tottenham legend.

:rofl: I appreciate your sense of humor mate.

King is important when he is fit. Unfortunately, he isn't fit very often.

The attitude to King compansates the big dissapointment you felt when Campbell betrayed you and went to...:wink: I don't like to psychoanalyze Spurs fans but some things are pretty obvious even to laymen in psychology.

It does compensate, but that's because of how awesome Ledley is. A far better all round player than Campbell ever was. Perhaps the only thing Campbell was really noticably better at than Ledley is heading, but Ledley just seems to be able to learn from whoever he plays with, so hopefully Ledley will just get better and better at more or less everything, because that seems to be the way it's gone so far to this point.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. In my opinion, Ledley King is the best player Tottenham have had in the last 20 or so years. Berbatov is awesome, but almost everything about Ledley's game is phenomenal. I'm not sure that Berbatov could walk into any team in the world and improve them, but I am sure that Ledley could.

If Ledley was to play against Berba and mark him, he'd have him in his pocket. ;-)

No doubt, you are right there :grin: :shrug:

 

[spursfanfaescotland]

deadly ledley is the most important player in our squad,and the last few matches have proved that.our defence is now starting to look like a shut bank safe instead of an open barn door.

And that my friend is the quote of the thread!!:stupid::beer:

 

[TaoistMonkey]

they way i see it, is if you're scoring more than you're letting in you will win games :shrug:

so berbs is more important. FACT :lol:

 

[Flatters]

And that my friend is the quote of the thread!!:stupid::beer:

Which one? Or both?

 

[TaoistMonkey]

this has turned to a "who is better" thread instead of "who is more important" :lol:

 

[striebs]

The correct answer is King .

He is the heart of Tottenham , Berbatov is it's pretty face .

 

[Flatters]

this has turned to a "who is better" thread instead of "who is more important" :lol:

Sir Ledley is the answer to both. :up:

 

[TaoistMonkey]

Sir Ledley is the answer to both. :up:

:shake:

there will never be another berbatov. kings hasn't played in ages so i won't miss him if he retires through injury.

We'll always have awesome flair players.

We won't always have players like Ledley though. In my lifetime I've never seen anything like it before. He's like a God. He can do no wrong. He's just amazing. And the support he gets is pretty damn awesome too, and he deserves it all. Berba, and both Keane and Defoe for some strange reason, get the biggest cheers when their names are called out at the Lane, but Ledley gets a cheer ten times louder, and the cheer he got for his returning match almost brought a tear to my eye.

Ledley's recently been quoted as saying he believes in God. Well he has to, when he is God.

 

[spurdownunder]

King 100%

then daylight.....

well if you've been out for a while you'll always get a big cheer.

Just like ginola at the 125 villa game. now that was something else!!!

GINOLA GINOLA GINOLA :-D

berb is the messiah

 

[Capocrimini]

Goals win us games, our defence even if we had Nesta with King will always concede simply cos we are cursed, so Berba is more important as we need goals which he scores and makes. But Ledley is by far the best player at the club for sometime now, i still remember when him and Thelwell played against Liverpool and owned them. Also like Flatters I think hes the greatest player, human being and thing of like all time.

Do you need some help :roll:

 

[Chatterbox1169]

This was a really hard decision as they're both important but for different reasons. I voted for King because I feel that his attitude is more positive and supportive to others - he brings out the best in them. Berbatov 'wows' the players with his skills and sometimes gets 'ratty' if things aren't going his way. Does this encourage people to be their best?
