Premier League Gossip – 15th February, 2010
Berbatov to get massive raise
It is being reported that Manchester United are looking to offer their prolific Bulgarian goal scorer http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dimitar-Berbatov-c11254 a massive raise.
The Old Trafford based team are reported to be so impressed by the player’s performances that they are willing to offer him a contract extension on his current contract despite the player being thirty years old.
United are generally very rigid when it comes to offering contracts to player in their thirties, but the fact that Berbatov has just crossed the big three zero, means that they are willing to let it slide this time around.
United are looking to offer the in-form goal scorer as much as one hundred and seventy-five thousand pounds a week for his services over the course of the next twelve months.
At the moment the only possible explanation for United wanting to do so, is because the team don’t want one of their most in-form players to leave the side, while at the same time the team is looking to hold on to their thirty million pound signing, which
they made way back in 2008.
Berbatov has finally started to show his true form and class at the club and it seems like it’s only fitting that the team reward this boost in performances that the player has shown.
Tottenham to allow Harry Redknapp to leave
It seems like the English FA have settled on the fact that they want an old school English man to take over as the next manager of the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 national team. That being said the FA has also managed to narrow down their search to none other than Tottenham
Hotspur manager, Harry Redknapp, to be the man to do just that.
At the same time, it is also being reported that Tottenham are going to be willing to let the manager leave the side if he wants to.
At the moment http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 Capello is set to manage the national team until the end of the Euro 2012, which means that if Redknapp is to leave the side he is going to have around a year to find an heir to his throne at the club.
Zlatan not in it for the money
A.C. Milan forward and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029, has gone on to state that he is not in the game for money.
The player came forth and stated that he had the option of joining Manchester City, but he opted not to make the switch to the Eastlands as he wanted to move to a club with history instead.
Ibrahimovic then went on to add that he would have only opted to make a move to the Manchester based club had he been in the game for the money, but, with that not being the case he chose to go elsewhere.
Ibrahimovic then ended by saying:"It was not about money. If you are a great player there is money everywhere".
It seems that playing at Milan has helped the forward mature a little over the course of the season and the fact that he is playing some of the best football of his career just goes hand in hand with this.
