Berbatov Wont Go
20th December, 2007
Tottenham Hotspur boss Juande Ramos has ruled out Berbatov leaving in the summer. The Bulgarian international’s future has been the subject of much speculation after he became unhappy at the club under Martin Jol.
The new boss Juande Ramos may have turned the striker’s mood, including him more in his plans: "There is no chance Berbatov will leave in January. On the contrary, we need Berbatov because if we want to reach our objectives we need a player of his class," Ramos told The Sun. "I can only tell you that Berbatov is a great player and with so little money it's impossible to take him.
"They have to put a lot of money on the table and many good players to compensate for the quality of Berbatov. "Dimitar for us is a player who is not for sale. It will be very difficult, very complicated for anyone to take him." Berbatov also played down the rumours saying he is happy at White Hart Lane.
"It's a pleasure and an honour to play for Tottenham and I enjoy myself here," Berbatov told the Daily Telegraph. "I love everyone who loves Tottenham and I see the passion of our fans.
"It doesn't matter if we are winning or losing, they are still behind us and that's what I really appreciate.
"When we go on to the pitch and we hear them applauding and cheering the team, it gives us a lift and makes us determined to do well."
