Berbatov | Fulham player

He has played so much he is getting a rest...

Seriously though I would not read anything into this at all. I would not like to see him be sold in January, unless there is someone ready to come in. And I doubt there is
 
Given there's a week until the next game, Fergie has probably given the players a few days off so you might be right. Surprised we didn't do one of our trips to UAE.

Some went to Zürich to the Gala, the others probably could take 2 days off or so
 
Berba will not be sold in January. What would be the point of loaning Macheda to QPR, and then selling berba. that would leave us short up front, and i can't think of any reason why Fergie would want that.

Unless he is after Demba Ba..................:drool:
 
Unless Rooney has a dramatic loss of form, injury or falling out with fergie then Berba will only get the odd game. Saf has decided his favoured partnership is welbeck plus Rooney.
 
I feel bad for Berba, he's had a good run of goal scoring form recently and then he's back out of the team. Must be very frustrating for him. For example I think he should have come on instead of Hernandez against Bolton. I want to keep Berba because he's a quality player but then I think he's too good to just sit on the bench. I don't think there's anything he can really do to get ahead of Welbeck or Hernandez in the pecking order because his style doesn't suit Rooney as much as they do, and Rooney will always be first choice.
 
Really like Berbatov, but won't be upset if he leaves.

Not a 4th choice striker, deserves to be a first teamer.
 
There is no way he is going in Jan with us sending Kiko out on loan too. Welbeck, Hernandez and Rooney arent enough.
Owen is crocked and Mame is going out on loan too.
 
Sky wouldn't just make it up. Despite what you lot say they're usually reliable. Especially if they report it as actually happening.

Having said that I'll be surprised to see him go. Was only the other week Fergie was saying he wanted to extend his contract.
 
Did we not sign him up for that extra year on his contract yet? Thought we had the option for that.
 
Some site had us linked to a trade with him and four million for Honda. I'd take that in a heartbeat. Maybe less than one.
 
Rooney welbeck Hernandez (Owen) Keane would see us through to summer with a bit of luck. There would seem to be little benefit in letting him go now rather than in the summer though unless we are looking at some kind of player plus cash deal (or simply to lighten the wage bill...). Don't expect a striker to be signed as a replacement.
 
Letting Berbatov go means that we're close to signing up Ravel for a new contract, and will allow him some gametime. I dont care if anyone believe me, it's probably not even true.
/friendlytramp
 
I would be very surprised if he leaves us in Jan. I expect him to leave in the summer

If this is true we have to have someone lined up
 
Pah, he's probably off to see Berbagran or someone...
 
Is he allowed to sign a pre contract with a foreign club? Only 6 months left and as far as we know the extension has not been triggered yet.
 
Don't see why we would want to lose him in the middle of the season unless we have a replacement lined up.
 
There's some dramatic tweets from female Berbafans about:

I will just cry or slit my wrists or something if Berbatov leaves, this man is my life

Okay, I have held this in too long. I DON'T WANT BERBATOV TO GO. I JUST DON'T. PLEASE DON'T GO. PLEASE

OMFG..I don't want Berbatov to leave. ;-( cry cry.
