Berbatov wants Fulham exit - agent

The Bulgarian striker is looking to find another English club when the transfer window opens in January, it seems.

FULHAM STRIKER DIMITAR Berbatov wants to leave the club in January, according to his agent Emil Danchev.

Bulgarian Berbatov joined Fulham from Manchester United in August last year and made an immediate impression, scoring 15 Premier League goals in his first season at Craven Cottage. He has been poor this season, though, scoring just once in 11 league starts, with his work-rate often criticised.

Fulham sacked manager Martin Jol on Sunday and Berbatov is keen to depart Craven Cottage, with his agent revealing that a switch elsewhere in England would appeal to him.

“I don’t usually speculate as nobody knows what will happen in January but what I can tell you is he (Berbatov) is not happy at Fulham,” Danchev said. ”

He would like, if possible, to find another option. I cannot comment (on whether there has been any approach) but the priority is to find a solution to stay in England.”

Fulham have lost their last six matches and sit 18th in the Premier League table.

    Imagine the howls of outrage and the screams of “Waaayyyycism!” on the journal if the situation was reversed!

    But this is racism but not in the right way so no one will talk about it, no one likes to talk about racism against white people.

    An everyday example of the double standards that exist with race relations.

    I couldn’t possibly say whether Mike Tyson is racist – he may be, he may not be – but what I can say is that if this story was reversed, the Journal’s house woollies (regular readers know who they are) would have been all over this story like a rash. As it is they’re conspicuous in their absence.

    Well including this thread there are currently 5 of the 14 comments on this page alluding to the fact that his remark was racist, that’s 36% of the comments on the page. Considering the guys other flaws that’s a pretty good hit rate.

    Spike Lee is an overt racist yet he gets away with it even being nominated for Academy Awards.

    Why is this animal kept in the spot light. He’s a convicted rapist and has done his sport no favours in bitting his opponents. He also feels it’s appropriate to call someone a “white motherf***er”. If he was called a black motherf***er it would be racist. He’s been in films, had huge air time on TV and Radio, it just doesn’t make sense. Can we not cut this guy loose and find decent people in the world to fill the role he’s occupying.

    You can analyse and criticize till the cows come home but there’s only one conclusion you can arrive at.
    Mike Tyson had no choice but to become Mike Tyson.
    He was a boxer. A ruthless fighting machine. A man in a brutal sport trying to survive.
    He was born for the ring.

    And that makes raping ok then? Seriously we all have a huge part to play in who we become. External factors influence but not decide who we want to be.

    Polarising characters be it positive or negative will always fascinate people, the media and of course people that can make money off their back.

    Mike Tyson’s Autobiography is a great read but it can easily be summarised in three words: Boxing, women, cocaine.

    Sun Kil Moon’s ‘Ghosts of the Great Highway’
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjA3EbKsl4E&list=PL9C56160C8E63F654
    One of the best albums of the last ten years.
    Pays tribute to some boxing legends who died too young. Particularly poignant is Duk Koo Kim died in the ring against Ray Mancini, trying to haul himself to his feet with his last breath.
    Changed the sport forever.
    Well worth a listen.
