General Transfer Rumour Discussion Thread

Berbatov has just been released by Monaco. Would anyone take him on a one-year deal as a 2nd/3rd choice and to help develop Kane?

Absolutely.... If we brought him in then I'd be happy for also to sign Ings and then call it a day for our striking options. The only issue with Berbatov is that we won't get the same work rate from our number 9 compared to what Kane gives us. Therefore I don't think we could have both Berbatov and Chadli on the pitch together (unless we were on top and seriously chasing a game). However Berbatov up top with (say) Ayew, Eriksen/Kane, Lamela behind him could work very well indeed.
 
under Poch we cannot have Berbatov............cant work,wont work

I disagree.
Poch likes two things;
Pressing - Berb's won't do that, we know.
Ball retention - Berbs is the master.
You need s lot less pressing if the opposition don't get much of the ball

Much as I loved berbatov, his strops and sulks are the last thing we need in a young team imo.

He's 7 years more mature now than when he left.

Anyone at the King testimonial will testify to how his chemistry with the crowd was repaired/renewed.
 
Berbatov in a high pressing disciplined Pochettino side?

I think he's a fantastic talent, but lets be honest he's the wrong side of 30 and not known for his high work rate.
 
Based on last season this high pressing thing is also a bit of a myth. We did it in fits and starts, yes Kane certainly worked hard up front but lets not pretend you had to be super fit to play in our team...
 
Berbs is on a career wind-down and I'm sure he knows it. He wouldn't come with the baggage and attitude from a few seasons back and I'm sure it would be made clear to him that he wasn't top dog. I guess this is just speculation at this stage? No links anywhere, right?

If our strike force transformed from Kane, Ade, Soldado to Kane, Benteke, Berbs I would be quite overcome. I might have to sit down and fan myself for a while.

Didn't seem very mature at Fulham tbh. Their fans were glad to be rid. As I said loved the guy when he was here but I don't think we should go back, pretty certain Levy would feel the same way too.

bit of a myth the lazy tag with Berbatov imv - just had that look about him.

sure he was no workhorse but wasn't lazy by any means

Yep, remember a game against Bolton when we were down to ten men and he put in an exemplary performance up front alone and won us the game.

When he feels like it he is very capable with an abundance of class but remember he refused to wear our shirt and play when selected so as far as I am concerned he can feck off.
