Football Corner

Last season Dimitar Berbatov was arguably one of the players of the season but why is he not producing that kind of form this season. The player who scored an impressive 23 goals in 49 games last season just hasn't looked himself this season and it's a shame to see this happening. At the beginning of this season he supposedly had a bust up with former Spurs boss Martin Jol but even though he's gone, things still haven't changed.

He was brought on as a second half substitute today against Middlesbrough and failed to show anything. It has been widely speculated that both Sir Alex Ferguson at United and Avram Grant at Chelsea are very interested in bringing the Bulgarian to their club. Both clubs have been linked with several strikers over the past few months but Berbatov is reported to be high on both sides wish list.

It has been reported that Berbatov is set for showdown talks about his future in the coming days with new Spurs boss Juande Ramos. Spurs have an influx of strikers already and they have been linked with a whole host of new front men in recent days so will Berbatov be allowed leave the Londoners. It is likely to cost whoever buys him, at least £20 million but on this years form he is certainly not worth that kind of money.
