DISQUS

If we get both, we are looking really good with keane and berbatov, something tells me that Berba is staying and he will potentially be the captain barring king not playing, what do you think ??

I second properyid. Spurs do not view dos Santos as a striker. And even Arshavin is a second striker who can also play attacking mid or winger.

Spurs have three pure strikers right now who will see time at some point this season in Berbatov (if he stays), Bent and Pekhart (has spent a lot of time with the first team in friendlies, should see at least a few minutes sometime during 08/09).

Pekhart is only 19 and has spent his entire Spurs career with the reserve side. I doubt Ramos is going to count on production from him.

That leaves only Berbatov and Bent as the only pure strikers on the club. Adding Arshavin and Pavlyuchenko seems to round out that group nicely, and the Spurs have enough money to land these two without selling Berbatov, especially after their dealings with Sunderland and likely sale of Kaboul to Pompey or the Black Cats or whomever.

I think Berbatov is going to stay, and for a long time, as Spurs will be able to give him Champions league football next season (and he's still under contract through the '10/'11 season).

Should have said '09/'10 season. He only has two years left on his deal.

Why would anyone want Berba to go?? He is impossible to replace. If we are playing with one striker next season, there are few better than him. With the creativity around him, he could net 40 goals next season!! We should keep him moods and all! COYS!

I sincerly hope this season is more competative than recent seasons...the premier league is starting to get a bit boring.

I don't thin kyou can compare the spending to Chelsea, we have recouped £35m in sales and spent around £40m, if we do sign Arshavin and the other Russian for £34m, we will sell Berbatov for £28m meaning the difference in money spent and money recouped is £11m odd.

Berbatov is going. Even if he didn't he certainly wouldn't be vice captain. Why even entertain such an idea? Ramos wants to get rid - for the money and because he doesn't want a sulk who clearly wants to ply his trade elsewhere. Ramos and Levy have said as much in press. Berbatov would have a negative affect on the dressing room- he isn't even on the bench for the friendlies. Time to bid him farewell and thanks for the memories.
