I said this ages ago!
Get him out! At this stage he is just a waste of space. Its pretty clear he doesn't want to play for Spurs!
I say sell him and buy Arshavin!
| Quote: | Dimitar Berbatov is in danger of becoming an outcast at Tottenham, with some senior players left fuming after he didn't play against Sunderland because his mind wasn't right.
Berbatov wasn't even on the substitutes' bench as Spurs lost their second straight game of the new season.
The 27-year-old has told the club to let him fulfil his dream of going to Old Trafford, but the deal has been held up due to chairman Daniel Levy's complaint to the Premier League over Manchester United's pursuit of the Bulgarian international.
The saga is threatening the mood in the dressing room and a few players would rather lose his talent up front than keep him at the club.
Berbatov's attitude in pre-season didn't go down well with members of the squad and it is understood that some players lost patience with him after he didn't play against Sunderland.
Defender Jonathan Woodgate insisted afterwards that the team's poor start to the campaign shouldn't be blamed on Berbatov, but it is not a view shared by everyone behind the scenes.
He has also lost the backing of many of the fans and was booed heavily when he came on against Middlesbrough last week.
Tottenham are still maintaining that they will keep the player unless they get a bid of £30million, but they were prepared to accept £28m a few weeks ago as long as they were able to buy a replacement.
They have even threatened to put Berbatov in the reserves should the move not take place and his attitude continues to be disruptive - but an agreement with United is expected to be reached soon.
Ramos is desperate for the situation to be resolved as soon as possible, to ensure that the club have enough time to find a new striker.
With the transfer window due to close at midnight on Monday, Tottenham have launched a desperate bid to bolster their attack and are assessing talent both at home and abroad.
They have looked at Radamel Falcao from River Plate and are considering another bid for West Ham's Dean Ashton, while Andrei Arshavin and Roman Pavlyuchenko continue to be linked with a move to London. |

I think the stories are building around Arshavin coming to Spurs. From what I have seen of him he looks like he could handle the Premier league but he is no Berbatov.
As for Berbatov he is yet another greedy, mercenary little shit who deserves to rot in the reserves for a season, not that it will happen alas. Great player though! lol.
