I wouldn't be suprised to see Berbatov and Eto'o swap clubs. Eto'o almost joined Tottenham in 2003 and Berbatov is a fan of Barca.
Either way, I'd just like to thank Berba for the last two seasons at WHL and wish him all the best if he does leave us.

I think Berbatov hasn't been at his best over the last few weeks and that perhaps he may be therefore slightly overrated. I definitely think he is a quality player but I think he would struggle to adapt to the pressure of being at a top club, especially Barcalona. I also don't reckon he'll be going to AC as they are basically skint. The only club i think he would be a good fit at is Real Madrid.
Also don't see Villa or Eto'o moving to Spurs when they can take their pick of the best clubs in Europe. More likely to see them in West London (no, not Fulham ;) ) next season.

I agree with Dave and Dave and in an ideal world Berbatov would *want* to stay and would *want* to try and help Spurs into the champions league. But that's just not the case. I wish it were different too, but no amount of wishing will change it. Who knows, if Ramos moves fast enough and secures some great players by the end of May, perhaps Berb will change his mind.

I'm also not convinced that a single player makes or breaks a team. This guy wants to go so Spurs need to make the best of it and get what they can for him.

Berba would be a massive loss for Prem. I have three sons, and they all wear our favorite team's red - the only other shirt in our house is #9's - we watch every Tottenham match that comes on. I had hoped that their rebuild would center on him.

Tottenham’s rebuild to be heavily financed by the sale of Berbatov?

Fixed.

I think the trade deal, player plus cash, is a wise move since at this point it is all but certain Berbatov wants to and will be transfered. It will give spurs some extra funds to play with and a reasonable replacement too.

Sounds like Ramos is looking to wrap up his transfers asap, probably so he can get them on the field for this summer's friendly matches to give them time to gel. As fate would have it, and as you mention there are suddenly a lot of options out there ripe for the taking (if spurs buck up the cash as promised).

Diego Capel should be their second move after the Berbatov deal is settled or at the same time if Comoli can multitasking. A natural left winger would be priceless for the team and one with many many years to play still. It's going to be a very exciting summer for spurs fans!

Have said it many times, Berba is waaaaaay too good for Tottenham. He can be a superstar in United/Barcelona/AC Milan, or any top 5 team in the world. He did, however, had an amazing understanding with Keano up top...
Let the bidding war commence.
