I think it is the privilege of footballfans to be biased and blinkered, so in this case I say WAY TO GO BERBA!! Push that transfer through even if you have to score owngoals Cashley-style to make it happen. Now, if Ronaldo had done the same I had been equally upset over such behaviour and would have been complaining bitterly over the lack of morals of todays footballers.

So I say Keep it up, wear a United shirt under the white Spurs jersey and flaunt it in your next goalcelebration!

I agree Scott, when you look at it from our point of view. If Ronny was seen signing a Madrid shirt everyone would want to crucify him.

Berbatov signed a United shirt and maybe I am being a biased bastard but it doesn’t bother me. I can see that it’d bother Spurs fans though yet I guess they are fed up with him anyway.

He does have a stinking personality but I don’t think he’ll carry on like it if he WERE at United.

The newspaper just wanted some sensational news.If he had refused…the headlines would have been “Berbatov refuses to touch Manchester United shirt”….well planned out by the Sun

bad part on berba when he’s still a spurs plyer, but on a serious note, it seems a very planned news article from sun…

I don’t understand how people don’t understand the big deal.

What would you have said if Ronaldo had signed a Real shirt a day or two after saying it was his dream to play for them?

I don’t understand the big deal was he supposed to tell the fan no, if they guy wanted his shirt signed then sign the shirt.

Yeah I don’t see the big deal, I think the media are trying to make something of nothing, had he put it on and started pretending he was Cantona and refused to give it the fan back, there’s a little story in there, I would’ve thought had he refused to sign the shirt it’d be very disrespectful.

Whats the betting that the ‘fan’ holding the shirt actually came in from London with the photographer so that they could get an entirely ‘spontaneous’ pic. Smells of s##t-stirring of the highest order.
Mind you, if it helps Levy to ‘get rid’ of him to Utd, then all the better.
