Probably all bollocks. His agent said earlier in the week that he had no intention of leaving Spurs.
Why is it a shock anyway? He`s been s*** this season, and based on his current performances and attitude, I don`t think anyone would be sad to see him go.
Giggity giggity!

he has done himself no favours this season - particularly so in respect of his `value` as a footballer. £36m in the closed season? i doubt anyone would pay half that now..
he`s no darren bent after all..
erm.
*why we clap..?

The interesting thing from that interview was that Jol didn`t massively slate him and said that he didn`t refuse to warm up for the game the other week.
The main thing he slated him for in the parts of the interview I saw stated how he was not a fighter so probably wasn`t the kind of person you wanted when everything was against you.
I don`t see him leaving anytime soon to be honest, especially as you`d get £15million tops??

In truth he`s still a fantastic striker, but he`s lost his edge this season. Is it because he wants to leave? Possibly. Is it because he`s not been getting enough support from the midfield? Possibly.
It`s worth noting however, that Berbatov does tend to play in an almost lazy like way, with the odd moment of greatness. So it`s pretty hard to judge his attitude on pitch, but the general consensus seems to be that he`s not that interested at the moment.
I`d love to see him stay, and pick up his form a bit. But if he wants to go, then so be it. I`d still expect him to see out this season though, and you`re probably right 1mills, it would be in the region of £15 million, perhaps more. I don`t think we`d want to leave him go for less than £20 million though, not considering what we paid for The Amazing Mr. Bent.
Though Bent did have a good game on Saturday. ;)

If only because I`m fed up of them letting others take the risk on players, only to wade in with big money when it works out.
In fairness though who would you say that applies to out of our current squad?
Carrick and Saha? (Arguably Tevez, but that was because we didn`t like the look of the deal, which we were right to avoid!)
Personally I`d prefer to see a speedy little whippet striker come in, because Saha`s never going to be fully fit for a whole season (and 29 now I think), and I think that`s what we need in the team. Not many players about though who are good enough, but content to be 3rd/4th striker for the time being (although I`ll take Defoe off your hands ;) )
