Berbatov

New recruit Dimitar Berbatov scored a brace to help Manchester United to a 3-0 victory over Danish club Aalborg in their Group E match in the Champions League. The Bulgarian scored his first goals for the club striking twice in the second half after Wayne Rooney put the Red Devils ahead in the 22nd minute.

Alex Ferguson is still hopeful he will be able to call upon the services of £30.75 million summer signing Dimitar Berbatov in this Sunday’s visit to Stamford Bridge.

Finally... Transfer deadline day is over. And we have Berba. That was one heck of a day. I will never forget it. I wasn't that nervous even when I was waiting for my engineering results to come out. :P As always United have paid over the odds for the player they want: £30.75 million! The day was full of drama as Shitty-City banged in like a villain with a bid of £34 million for Berbatov. And n

Well, it’s been all go tonight….here is a very brief update. First of all, we accepted a bid from Manchester City for Berbatov! Which is good I guess because if he is going to leave (which he is) then I would rather him go to City than United. At this point, we hadn’t given Manchester United permission [...]

Reports today claim that if United fail to meet Tottenham’s £30 million valuation of Dimitar Berbatov, Spurs are prepared to let the sulking striker rot in the reserves. Berbatov missed Tottenham’s recent home defeat to Sunderland with manager Juande Ramos claiming the striker’s “head is not right” leaving Spurs with just one recognised striker in [...]

It looks like United have put all their eggs in one basket this summer and if we fail to sign Berbatov, we fail to sign a striker. I am somewhat surprised that with such a clear need for an out and out striker, the scouts of United have managed to pinpoint only one potential target. [...]

Everyone is sulky sometimes. A lot of people always mention that Berbatov is sulky, moody anddisruptive and it makes me laugh to be honest. I personally believe Berbatov is nowhere nearhis best, we haven't seen all he has. For four years now I have classed him as a footballinggenious if given the chance to grow. No disrespect to Spurs but they were hardly going to set theworld alight in the past 2

According to those in the know, a deal has been done with Man Utd and Berbatov is on his way to Old Trafford in a deal worth at least £25m. This won't come as a shock to anyone and although a player with that amount of talent will be a loss, it was unlikely Spurs would be able to keep hold of him again this season and for that kind of money we can't really complain.For the past few weeks it's bee

I've been following this issue about Berbatov and Huntelaar with much interest and to be honest I can't believe half of what I read from some United fans !!!! How can anybody ever mention the name of this run of the mill Dutch guy in the same sentence as the great Dimitar Berbatov is beyond me !!! Forget all this nonsensical arguing about the age difference - the gap is 27 months and means

Dimitar Berbatov has reportedly shown no inclination to open talks on a new deal at Tottenham Hotspur, thus adding fuel to fire that the Bulgarian striker is unsettled at White Hart Lane.

Depending on who you believe Tottenham’s Bulgarian ace seems destined to leave the club, it seems that most tabloids reckon its more a matter of when rather than if, but let’s face it, they have papers to sell.
