Hi guys, toon fan in peace. I just want to ask about your player Berbatov. Assuming that we wanted to buy him from you, and considering his age i'm pretty sure you'd be willing to sell, how much would you accept for him? Also what wages is he on? We've got 35 million plus maybe an extra 15 million to spend this summer, so we've got cash to splash. He's also a Newcastle fan and loved Shearer - http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/article365647.ece Thanks.
No he would not go to you lol Bayern Munich and Sevilla have shown interest and if he were to leave he would go to them. He has more chance of returning to Spurs than going to your lot. His wage is 110k and he would cost 15m due to his contract and age. But he will go to a top team not a mid table team no offense but he could stay. It is all speculation at the minute. If we sold him Man Utd would have to buy a new striker
Honestly is you could sign Berbatov it would be a phenomenal achievement for you as if he leaves i think a foreign club would be more likely. Cost wise i'd be disappointed to see him leave for less than 20-25 million after all it does look like he will be the golden boot winner this year. Obviously the is also the possibility that he simply wont leave.
Remember this though guys: http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/sport/football/article365647.ece If this article is true, then to him, we're not just some ordinary mid-table club. Normally I'd say no chance, but knowing this, and with the cash we have available, and our ambitions for next year, stranger things have happened.
In my opinion we'd only sell him if he hands in a formal transfer request. He's shown his ability to fit into the team and get vital goals this season, and the only reason he hasn't played as much recently is because Rooney and Hernandez work better together in the big games. If he does ask to leave, I reckon we'd be looking for at least ã15 million from an overseas club, but possibly ã20 million plus from a PL club, particularly one who we know has cash burning a hole and a big number 9 shaped hole to fill. As for whether he would go to Newcastle, only he can answer that. I think given his age he might be willing to go to Newcastle cos he knows he'll get more games than if he goes to a club challenging in the CL. And he probably remembers the hero worship that the Toon give to players like Shearer, and that could be very attractive to him. On the other hand, he may well still want a chance to finish his career with a bang and a CL winners medal, even if it means he won't play all the games. And given how much criticism he's had from some United fans for his languid style, he may be wary of going to Newcastle as some of the Toon fans may give him the same kind of stick if they think he's not giving 100%. Also, his recent wage demands at United were ã140k a week, so I dunno if Ashley would be willing to stump up that kind of cash for a player who probably won't ever be sold on.
