LONDON (AFP) - Tottenham manager Juande Ramos wants to get the unsettling Dimitar Berbatov transfer situation resolved this week, suggesting the Bulgaria striker will get his wish to move to Manchester United.
The Bulgaria striker was left out of Spurs' 2-1 defeat to Sunderland on Saturday after it was decided he was in the wrong frame of mind to play amid interest from United.
And with just a week to go until the closure of the transfer window, Ramos has called for the saga to be brought to an end so that he can bring in a replacement.
"We need to get this matter resolved before the transfer deadline," the Spaniard told the club's website.
"If Berbatov goes, we will need time to sign a replacement. We want to have the best centre forward we can possibly get."
A meeting was held between the manager, player and club directors on Sunday in a bid to bring the saga to a conclusion.
Berbatov arrived from Bayer Leverkusen two seasons ago for a fee of 15 million euros.

Yep, if he does go to United - which looks likely, then he'll love the 'Champions' League exposure and impress for maybe 1 or 2 seasons then get bored again when his ego grows again ... I can see him having a football boot kicked across the changing room at him Becks style at some point, as I can't see his personality blending well with Fergie's. Ronaldo pushed his patience this summer, and I think one more slip up and he's out the door...
At this point anything over £20m would be a good deal as we're still making a huge profit, and getting his sulky spoilt persona out of the club.... "so long and thanks for all the fish" :oP
this is exactly why the transfer dealine should be BEFORE the season begins. Its silly to have guys on your team who are waiting to move.
THIS ISSUE IS GETTING TIRESOME NOW,ABOUT TIME IT WAS SORTED OUT.DOES BERBATOV KNOW IF HE GOES TO UNITED THEN HE WONT BE ABLE TO PUSH FERGIE AROUND.HE MIGHT BE ABLE TODO THAT AT SPURS.CARRICK WAS OUTSTANDING AT SPURS,BUT WHEN HE MOVED TO UNITED HE WAS IN A TEAM OF SUPERB PLAYERS.I DONT THINK BERBATOV WILL BE ABLE TO HACK IT.
thats twice i've commented and twice you've decided that my comments aren't good enough for people to debate or think for themselves....yeah you know who you are...control freak!!!!!!!!!
