Berbatov had everyone guessing where he would be going to before eventually choosing Fulham and Carrera stated that he had not seen such a transfer ever in life.
In what was surely one of the most bizarre transfers of the summer, and possibly one of the most bizarre of all times; http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robin-van-Persie-c31380 effectively ended any chances
of Dimitar Berbatov resurrecting his career at the Red Devils, and there were quite a few admirers running after his signature.
However, after having done what he has, he has a lot less admirers, and Massimo Carrera belongs to that list now. Before Juventus showed an interest in the services of the striker, Fiorentina were active in their pursuit of signing the Bulgarian; and the
club had given hints to suggest his arrival.
Fiorentina and Manchester United agreed the fees of the player and what was left was the medical after the player was willing to take a pay cut to come to the Florence outfit. However, in came Juventus with a figure of their own, and that stalled the move
as Berba wanted to know all the options available to him before he finally decided.
However, this irked Fiorentina (and rightfully so) as they had paid for the tickets of him and his agent and they had also sent a representative to the airport to collect him. Berbatov did not board the flight to Florence from Munich.
After making Juve and the Viola guessing on who would be signing his services, Berba made a complete U-turn to the whole situation and returned to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 before signing on for Fulham.
Carrera was glad that they had not signed the striker and labelled him “unreliable”, and stated that they were better off without such a player. He also said:
“It’s the first time I have seen a situation like that. Seeing what happened, perhaps it is better that he did not join us, as we are talking about an unreliable player.”
However, before lamenting Berba on his behaviour, Juventus also need to consider their own behaviour in scuppering Fiorentina’s bid.
