If he is motivated he is still class. He was actually good for Fulham last year. He really wants to stay in England by the sounds of it.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
I bet he wishes he took that Fiorentina offer now.
I'd happily take him at Sporting KC.
Looks like the moody Bulgarian wants out:
Fulham striker Dimitar Berbatov hopes to leave the club in January, according to his agent Emil Dantchev.
The 32-year-old has scored just twice in 12 appearances for the Cottagers this season, a barren run that contributed to the struggles that cost Martin Jol his job.
Rene Meulensteen has taken over the managerial reins at Craven Cottage but he will have been rocked by the news that Berbatov, whose contract expires in the summer, is looking for a way out.

"I don't usually speculate as nobody knows what will happen in January but what I can tell you is he (Berbatov) is not happy at Fulham," said Dantchev.
- Appearances 12

- Reds 0

"He would like, if possible, to find another option."
Turkish club Trabzonsport have been linked with Berbatov, but Dantchev suggested that his client would prefer to remain in the Premier League.
"I cannot comment (on whether there has been any approach) but the priority is to find a solution to stay in England," he said.
Fulham refused to comment on the situation.
A return to Spurs?
Is this guy taking the piss? I don't usually speculate? I don't want this silly twat anywhere near my club again.
That this has to be added as a qualifier says it all really
He doesn't seemingly care at Fulham, can someone imagine how much he'd half-ass it in MLS? He'd be there simply to collect a big check.
I can't help but say how the hell did the ball manage to completely cross the field, then Berba takes two touches before a Villa player is within 10 yards of him?
Regardless, got to love those little sublime touches.
i wish we could have kept him. I miss seeing him play regularly. One of my favourite players to watch.
His touch
I couldnt think of a player that would be any worse than Berbatov to help Utd in their current form. He is a lazy waster who ruined his chance at the club
but we all know exactly what you think by now Randall, so go away.
You really think he would be an asset to Utd right now?
absolutely. We need players with creativity who are technically capable of making something happen in tight spaces. Players like Scholes, berba, Kagawa, nani, januzaj etc.
at the moment we cant break down teams who defend well and we can't keep the ball. You cant get the ball off a player like Berbatov, and he has the intelligence and control to break through a tight defence.

This thread...Don't worry Randall, you are the normal one here..
There is a difference between Berbatov and all those other players. The others actually make an effort.
Its why I feel sorry for Kagawa. It hasnt happened for him yet, but he looks like he cares and certainly seems to try. Cant ask for much more than that.
Its been a while, but I still can never get my head around the love in, some Utd fans had with this lump of turd
i see him as being one of the best players technically to ever play the game. I enjoy greatly the fact that that upsets you.
It's how he does it so nonchalantly that gets me. Could have smoked a cigar at the same time.
randall, people watch football for different reasons. Some for the victories, some to watch the players 'play for the shirt', some for the rivalries, and personally i watch it for the beauty and artistry that you sometimes get (from players like giggs, Scholes & berba)...
none of those is the right reason to watch, but try to understand that we all take different things from the game.

Ever? fecking hell.
Anyway I thought you were Silent Witness, who I think is a regular poster on here. You have only been here a couple of month how can you know about my Berba hatred?
Returnee, perhaps?
You're a superstar Randall, people read your posts.
We should never have signed him really, just wasn't suited to our style of play.
That said he's still one of my favourite players to watch. When he's on his game he's sublime. Can anyone post the WHU gif

The touch against Blackpool, when we won away with him & Hernandez scoring. The ball is played long & head height from Scholes left wing, intended for Valencia at the far corner on the right, & Berba is on the edge of the box. With his body completely straight as if he was waiting for a bus, his right leg goes up, completely perpendicular to the floor, & brings the ball down in one graceful motion. The centreback 10 yards in front of him proceeds to have a heart attack.
wet.
wet.Hes good but I wish he had a ronaldo type of mentality
Apparently we're in for him for 2m. I think he could be good for us.
That's a strange one.But a good move personally for Berbatov if true.
They are linked with him, Hernandez and Remy this morning.
I don't think he is what Arsenal need, even though he will fit in well there.
If I'm not mistaken, he outscored Giroud last season, despite playing in a far inferior team and half of the time not even as a striker. Would be a good short term solution, technically wise he's on another level to Giroud.
Would only be a stop-gap, I imagine. Can't see him being worse than Giroud and Bendtner really, and for 2m there's very little risk involved.
If they want to win the title, they should be going for someone better. Someone who is more likely to convert the chances rather than create them,
We should buy him for £2m if Rooney and Van Persie are out for any length of time. I'm mostly joking
We don't need a chance converter(although it'd be nice) but someone to win a header and to link up play.
That player doesn't have to be top class - Bendtner came on yesterday and changed the game just by winning the odd flick on and allowing us to push up the pitch. No surprise we ended up winning.

Who's available in the january window though?
We need someone to give Giroud a break, and Berbatov offers something different. Obviously not as a permanent solution but our options are limited at the moment.
The issue is that we clearly need a player in there but at the same time, we don't want to pay big bucks for someone who we don't really fancy when we could just buy in the summer.
Just get Berbatov. He'd be useful as a 3rd choice next season.
