I could not believe what I was reading when I woke up this morning, former England manager Terry Venables says that the trouble that Tottenham are in right now is Berbatov's fault.
It was obvious to everyone, probably since january, that Dimitar Berbatov wanted to leave Tottenham and he wanted to go to Manchester United, which gave Spurs months to come up with a replacement.
Spurs decided to drag the transfer on to get more money out of Manchester United, instead of selling him as soon as the transfer market opened and had money and weeks to buy a replacement.
Spurs let Jermain Defoe, Robbie Keane and Dimitar Berbatov go and brought in a new striker who apparently cannot play with Darren Bent, which means that they can only have one striker on the pitch at one time.
How can you blame poor team selections, odd substitutes and a lack of passion on Dimitar Berbatov, anyway here is what Venables said:
Bulgarian strike ace Berbatov kept telling us he had a ‘dream’. Well, good for you Dimi, you had a dream with a few extra noughts added to your bank balance.But don’t you think Spurs had a dream too? Don’t you think that when they bought you and helped you blossom into one of the best strikers in the world, you had a duty to reward them by helping them fulfil their dream.
You got your way but your poisonous presence at the start of this season - the pouting, the brooding and the reluctance to play - has cost the club that believed in you.
