Following months of speculation, Dimitar Berbatov finally joined Manchester United, with our young striker, Frazier Campbell, begrudgingly going in the opposite direction.
Whilst a lot of Spurs fans are happy with the money they got from the Berbatov transfer, they’re not thrilled at training up and giving experience to a player which should only benefit United in the future.
Spurs’ manager, Juande Ramos, has praised Campbell hoping that the youngster can be as important to Spurs this season as he was to Hull last season.
I know there is much debate about our striker options, but I look at the whole picture and not just a like-for-like exchange. I want creativity and attacking flair from many parts of the pitch,” said Ramos. “Fraizer Campbell brings us pace, power and he’s a very good goalscorer.”
Despite selling three of the four strikers that featured in Ramos’ first league game in charge against Middlesbrough, the manager thinks he has a stronger squad than he did this time last year.
“I have little doubt that we have a squad of greater overall quality now than when I began at this club a year ago,” he added. “And by the end of the season our results will have proved this to be the case.”
Campbell faces competition from Darren Bent and Roman Pavlyuchenko for a place in the side, meaning on substitutions alone, he should get plenty of game time judging by Ramos’ like for subbing on new striking options.
Best of luck, Frazier! Here’s hoping he comes back to United as an even better prospect!
He will certainly come back a better player .. and he’ll be bought up by a better team, the real one in Manchester.
Me – He can’t be bought by a ‘better club’, as he’s already owned by ‘the best’, that’s what that Premier league Champions flag flying above Old Traffod signifies, that we are the best team in this country, and that little game that we won in Moscow (remember, the one where you were frantically cheering for Chelsea and was more gutted when they lost than you are when your own team lose?) made us the best team in Europe. Stick to your pipe dreams and Champ manager fantasies, and let the REAL clubs get on with the business of winning trophies. When was your last trophy again?
We all know that Red Nose forced him into going to Spurs so there’s no point in Ramos pretending otherwise. Just hope the Premier League have the balls to deal with Utd’s flagrant breach of EPL rules.
JPF: What? Our last trophy was last season a coupel of months before yours, and what Spurs fan on what planet would ever want Ch*ls* to win anything…unless they were playing Ars*.
On the transfer though – Levy should have had a clause to buy inserted or walked away from it. It is an emergency measure given our lack of options and will only benefit Utd when they get him back.
A real football club would’ve stood by their “principles” – but their are precious few real football clubs left. Not mine, and certainly not yours.
Change the record, me, you dick.
Is anyone getting sick with these deluded shitty fans? Dr sully and a few of his nonsensical comments. And this shitty team thats never won anything for half a century, who dont own their stadium, who were hovering in lge 2 not long ago, who have thugs like michael ball etc. Think they’re now utd, real, barca, liverpool, bayern, ajax, juve, milan all in one
DELUDED
THFC1882 – United stuck to their principles and didn’t sell Cristiano Ronaldo. By your definition, that makes us a real football club. Cheers.
