Berbatov in strike mystery
Published: Today
JUANDE RAMOS has dismissed claims Dimitar Berbatov went on strike against Sunderland.
The Bulgarian was left out of Tottenham's 2-1 defeat, with boss Ramos insisting the Manchester United target was not in the right frame of mind to play football.
But Berbatov was only omitted after HE told Ramos he was not in the "right condition".
However, Ramos then denied that last year's joint-top scorer was effectively on strike.
The Spaniard said: “He hasn’t got any power. If he is in no condition to play the game he is not going to play - that is the same as any other player.
“He didn’t play because he wasn’t in the right condition - this is what he told me before the game when I spoke to him.
“It’s a situation that is very personal, there are players able to play under these circumstances and others whose head is not right. Berbatov is in the latter category."
Ramos will meet Berbatov again on Sunday to discuss the player's future.
He added: “We’ll have to wait and see. We’ll speak to the player and make a decision on his future.
“We’ll clarify a few points and see if there is a decision to be made.
“We’ll meet primarily to know if he is in any state to play in the next match or we have to find another solution.”

B.R.> Is this better?
He must have shown up to the meeting wearing a United kit, singing Glory Glory Man United, just as I suggested!
That would explain, 'Not in his right mind'.

Poor form from Spurs to make Berbatov a villain for dropping him out of the squad. The Spurs management have always insisted he's been very professional during the summer. Ramos likely knew all summer he was to be sold, and used him sparingly even in pre-season games. He was left on the bench last game and out of the squad today to avoid injury. Claiming Berbatov was not right in the head is shifting blame - I doubt he is that unprofessional - then again he is a footballer. The Spurs management are on a public relations exercise of shifting blame for allowing their best player to move.
This saga cannot be compared to Ronaldo's saga over the summer, because United point blank refused to sell despite the best efforts of both Ronaldo and Real - Spurs have never refused to sell, only haggled over the price, and wanted to save a few millions by making Berbatov hand in a transfer request.

I painted such a beautiful picture and you splattered it with too much reality!
Thats just sums up the reality....nice post..

Good to hear, Sults has pointed out a few good points, so what's your view on Ramos' statement?
Heard that when he had a trial as a youngster with Liverpool, he turned up in a blue shirt
Agreed, I find it very hard to believe that a professional footballer can't be in the 'frame of mind' to play football. Although looking at the Poyet interview he seems to be honest about it, unless he's a brilliant liar.
I was busy all day, fantastic news on Berba. on the other hand I hate Gerrard.

Two wins out of two. You can't honestly believe they will be anywhere near us come christmas though, surely?
Berbatov has already been fined before by Spurs earlier in the summer, so I would say he probably has been unprofessional. We are talking about a player who sulked several times when left on the bench by Jol and showed attitude when asked to come on as a sub.
Ermmm I said that in my post.Heard that when he had a trial as a youngster with Liverpool, he turned up in a blue shirt
Ramos only wants to meet him on Sunday to make sure he carries the right suitcase and to get the $100 back that he borrowed from him last month. All else is settled. Ramos really has no control. Levy's the man who's got them into this mess. He now has to get them out of it and his first move, in order to settle his team and his supporters down, is to get the berb on his bike and outta there. 25M might do it now although I suspect it will end up as 28M.

Looks like a Berber duck..

Roger.
I thought he was a striker. Now I see he's just a duck. I'm confused...
The events of today are very promising indeed. I hope an end to the Berbatov saga is soon. His position there is more than untenable now and they simply must sell. His fee will help them to bring in the committed players they need. For their sake they better not wait too long. Wake up Levy and accept a bid!
Thats funny, I swear I read him mouthing off in the press last week
And I'm sure he refused to play football for his current club today
And I saw a photo of him signing a United shirt in the week
And some of his performances on the pitch have been highly questionable, to the point where you wonder if he's sulking and intentionally not giving his best
I'd say that was dispicable behaviour really
I'm not gunna pretend its not ok for clubs like Madrid and our own players to treat this club with contempt, only to say its fine when it happens the other way around. Cases like this and the Ronaldo one are of course different, but there's a common theme. The player has agreed to a contract with his current employers, and he's acting like a twat because he doesn't like it anymore. I say tough, you signed it and you took the money that went with it. You should have negotiated a get out clause at the time, or a shorter contract
Sultan, perhaps its a case of Spurs negotiating, but they shouldn't be bullied into selling below the price they want for the player. They rightly hold all the cards, no matter how much of a cock the player acts. I wouldn't be unhappy to see Berbatov at United, we could do with a top striker like him leading the line. But I'd be equally happy seeing us not get him. I want to stop seeing players acting like twats to break contracts. This summer has been quite refreshing, many have tried it, and they've not moved anywhere and simple caused themselves hassle and grief
He had his choice when he voluntarily signed a contract by his own hand. Its not about not wanting the player, its about not wanting to see players acting in such a manner. If Berbatov was acting like this at United wanting a move elsewhere, I'd be fecking livid with him. So would the majority of people on here. Put its suddenly ok if its United benefitting. Well I'm sorry, I don't see it that way
Brad's ranting has a true point. Player power is getting out of control. I want Berbatov too but not this way. Its a shame but I will accept him anyway.
Breaking news.....new away kit....
I like the black kit.
I like the black kit.
Brad. Get a life... Who cares!! I could reply back with how the Ronaldo and Berbatov situation is different but you know what i'll just be honest and say it's fecked up when it happens to us but i couldn't give a shit when it happens to someone else!! Which is why i laugh everytime i hear new Robinho Stories.. and laugh at those Spurs fans that were laughin at us when Ronaldo looked destined to leave! That life!
disagree with this. they have every right to try to hold onto arguably their best player, or, if they decide to sell him, then do it at the highest possible price.
what Levy must, however, shoulder the blame for is failing to see when he's fighting a losing battle, and failing to execute contingencies long before the seasoned started.
His been polite for the friggin last 3months. With a week left and his dream move looking bleek AGAIN why not fight!!
That's lovely for you Mainoldo
But I care. And I don't think I'm alone. Not that I'd give a crap if I was
Thats true but really i don't know the figures but £25m seems like a really good price, £28 probably really really good business if it appears but fighting for £30m when you know that other areas still need strenghting is a bit silly, i could say the same with Villa in terms of price! £18m on barry isn't a good 'investment' neither is £30 for Berbatov
