Dimitar Berbatov discloses that he had a conversation with the Black Cats over the possibility of him joining them in the on-going season, but, the conversation didn’t get to a fruitful conclusion.

It’s been about 9 months now that Berbatov is without any club. The previous time he had featured in a top flight fixture was when he was at PAOK which did not give him an extension to his contract post his debut season there.
Since then, there has been a drought of offers. However, that is not pushing Berbatov towards retirement yet. His desire to play is intact and he is just waiting for someone to hand him a contract.

As per Berbatov, somebody like him who has had such a huge career in soccer and given the fact that his physical fitness remains quite good despite being on the wrong side of thirties, he just doesn’t feel like putting his playing career to an end at all.

Berbatov is not sure how many more seasons he can continue for. He says he is going to take it season by season, week by week, but, right now, it’s just about having an opportunity and while it would have been nice to have that opportunity with Sunderland, he understands that I Love Man Utd there are times when things don’t tend to fall in place and one has to keep patience.

It Sunderland had gone for Berbatov, his innovation upfront might have proved to be quite beneficial for them especially at a time when they are in dire straits and are in desperate need of some positive impetus.
But it didn’t happen and Berbatov’s spell on the side-lines extended even further much to the disappointment of his enormous fan-base which is spread all around the world.

A Spurs fan has reportedly told the BBC that he wants his team to sign DimitarBerbatov to cope with the absence of Harry Kane.

Indeed the England international has been ruled out until the end of the season and Spurs are currently left with only Janssen as a recognized striker.
This is a shame for Tottenham Hotspurs as Harry Kane has been in great form in recent games and they would have been counting on his goals to help them clinch a top four finish that would allow them to qualify for the Champions League.

At the moment Mauricio Pochettino would be relying on Vincent Janssen to score the all important goals.

There is not a lot that Tottenham Hotspurs can do at the moment, and one fan has suggested that they sign their former player DimitarBerbatov.

Former Tottenham Hotspurs and Manchester United striker DimitarBerbatov is currently a free agent after leaving Greek club PAOK and could be an attractive option for Spurs.

However, the player is currently 36 years old and may lack match fitness to play at this level. But this would be a great opportunity for the former Bulgarian international to make up for the manner he left Spurs for Manchester United.

Dimitar Berbatov has stated in the past that he wants to play again and that he will not retire soon. This can be a great opportunity for him to prove that he can still play at the highest level and help his former team clinch a qualification for the Champions League.

Mauricio Pochettino believes that he had enough players in his squad to cope with the absence of Harry Kane and said that he wants his team to remain focus on the objective of finishing as close to the leaders as possible.

Former Tottenham and Monaco striker Dimitar Berbatov is set to start training with former employers Manchester United as he considers a return to the league that brought him to the spotlight.

Berbatov who is currently out of contract after leaving POAK in the summer, is heavily linked with a return to Premier League club Swansea after manager Bob Bradly revealed the former United goal poacher is on his radar.

The Swansea manager last month said, “I saw Dimitar in May at a celebration game for Hristo Stoichkov in Sofia, I’ve met him a few times and I know he is anxious to get back in the Premier League; everyone inside our club knows that.”

Also, reports in Bulgarian media suggest that the 35-year-old striker is keen on returning to the English top flight despite his age. Berbatov is set to visit the Manchester United training ground in Carrington next week in other to train with Jose Mourinho’s men as he prepares for a possible spell with another English club.

It would be recalled that the former Bulgarian international joined Manchester United from Tottenham in the summer of 2008; following the move, Berbatov went on to score an impressive 48 goals in 108 premier league appearance for the red devils.

Berbatov who had since left Old Trafford has gone on to play for Fulham, Monaco, and Greek outfit POAK, reproducing the form that saw Manchester United pay a huge sum of £30.5 million for his services in 2008.

One thing is certain, If Berbatov is to sign for any premier league club in the coming transfer window, he would no doubt bring with him the much need experience and knowledge any team would appreciate.

For now, Berbatov will concentrate on training and try to keep fit while he prepares for a possible interest from any premier league club.

Dimitar Berbatov has come out to throw his full weight behind ace striker, Vincent Janssen.

This comes on the heels of the former AZ Alkmaar player’ inability to find his form and start scoring for the club.

Janssen was recently signed by Tottenham during the transfer window in summer. However the past few weeks have seen Spurs go low on goals with the absence of their star striker, Harry Kane. Berbatov, believes Janssen would soon adapt to playing at Spurs and begin to score soon enough.

The Bulgarian International, who had once also been in striking position for the Spurs has said it also took him time to adapt to English football. However, when he finally did, he rose to become a star for the Spurs and also go on to score a lot of goals for them.

Berbatov spoke to BBC Radio 5 live. On the subject of the Dutch international, the 35-year-old had this to say:
“You have come to a new environment and a different style of playing. I think he will take a bit of time to get used to his new team-mates, with the football, with everything. But I think he will be fine.

“I have been watching all the games when I can and I think he’s doing fine for the moment.”

At his former club AZ Alkmaar where he was before being signed on by Tottenham, Janssen had scored plenty of goals and on international level, he always is a starter for his country. However, he seems to be finding it a bit tough to settle in and get back his best form for the club.

Tottenham doesn’t seem to be able to have enough patience to wait for the player to find his form as it could cost them a lot in the process.

It is understood that DimitarBerbatov turned down a potential move to Al Ahly after the club failed to retain the services of manager Martin Jol.

The Dutchman enjoys a special relationship with the Bulgarian striker after having been in charge of the player at two of his previous clubs. Jol was the manager who bought Berbatov to English football when he was at Tottenham. This turned out to be one of the best spells in his career for the Bulgarian striker, who was previously plying his trade in German football.

Immediately after the departure of Jol, Berbatov’s performances began to drop rapidly and the player showed his intense desire to join Manchester United. The Red Devils were ready to pay a whopping fee of £30 million for the forward and it was a club record at the time.

Berbatov was not a huge success at Old Trafford, although he did win the league title. He joined once again with Jol but this time at another London outfit, Fulham. Even though this relationship again did not last for a long time, Jol managed to get the best out of the player. It was thought that Al Ahly were keen on bringing this partnership back to life, although Berbatov has aged considerably in the last decade.

Now 35, the striker was available on a free transfer. It is reported that the club made a € 400,000 offer to the striker even before all the bonuses, but it was turned down by the former Manchester United star after seeing Jol depart the club just before transfer discussions could progress on a more serious note. The Egyptian club had signed the manager with an expectation to go to the next level, but fears over personal safety forced Jol into exit the club much earlier than planned.
