Is Berba staying or going?

Ramos is giving up on Berba

JUANDE RAMOS gave up any hope of Dimitar Berbatov staying at White Hart Lane.

The Bulgarian striker was left out of Spurs’ squad for yesterday’s 1-1 draw at Chelsea.

And Ramos all but admitted he expected Berba to become a Manchester United player before the transfer deadline expires at midnight tonight.

He said: “I don’t know where Berbatov is and he’s not in the right state of mind to play.

“Once the transfer window closes we will have more options with Roman Pavlyuchenko and any others who may arrive at the last minute.

“Darren Bent has had to work very hard up front on his own.

“Pavlyuchenko will bring a lot of quality to the side and he is well known for his attributes.

“We hope that he will settle in quickly because he has come from another country.

“It’s really important for him to adapt so that we can see him play very well for us.”
