Berbatov linked to United again.
It's not about money, it's about ambition: Berba agent sparks Spurs exit talk
Tottenham are facing a battle to hang on to Dimitar Berbatov, even though chairman Daniel Levy insisted yesterday that they would fight to hang on to their top players.
The main target is Bulgaria striker Berbatov, who scored four goals in Saturday's 6-4 win over Reading.
Levy said: "Once again for the record, we are not a selling club. We're building for the future."

But Berbatov's agent Emile Dantchev confirmed interest from one Premier League club - thought to be Manchester United - and two others abroad, warning: "Fans must understand that Dimitar is 27 next month and time is running out for him to play for a club that can match his ambition.
"I would like to stress this is not about money. This is about sporting ambition.
"Dimitar is perfectly happy with Juande Ramos and the way he is working. But after Tottenham's bad start, it is unlikely they'll have a chance to do something big this season.
"It is a long-term plan for them. Dimitar wants to fulfil his potential and win trophies now. He would definitely consider a move outside of England. That is not the issue.
"What matters is it is a club that matches his ambition and level and there are only five or six around Europe. Two clubs outside of England and one in the Premier League are interested in him."

Spurs Scouts Plan For Life Without Berbatov
Tottenham have launched their search for Dimitar Berbatov's replacement, with Manchester United determined to beat any rival bid for the Bulgarian.
United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has been given all the encouragement he needed to launch a January move for Berbatov after the striker's agent, Emil Dantchev, admitted that the player wants to 'play for a club that can match his ambition'.
While Spurs chairman Daniel But now that signs are emerging that Tottenham's resolve is weakening, Ferguson is determined to be at the head of the queue for his top target.
Dantchev's admission that two clubs from outside the Barclays Premier League are also on the trail of Berbatov will mean Ferguson must act fast if he is to finally get his man.
Manchester City are also understood to be keen on Berbatov, but despite chairman Thaksin Shinawatra's millions, the Bulgarian's clear preference is Old Trafford.
However, competition from the likes of AC Milan, Inter Milan and Real Madrid is sure to drive up the price.
In addition, Levy's reputation for driving a hard bargain — he managed to prise £18.6million out of United for Michael Carrick 18 months ago— will mean Ferguson will have to dig deep if he is to fend off the competition.
Levy will be looking for a healthy profit on the player who cost £10.9m when he moved from Bayer Leverkusen, with a fee in the region of £25m the target.
But Ferguson's desire to add the skill and guile of Berbatov — who scored four goals in the 6-4 win against Reading on Saturday — to his already formidable forward line is such that he is determined to outbid even Europe's biggest clubs.
Levy insisted on Sunday that Spurs are 'not a selling club', behind the scenes the north London club are preparing for life without Berbatov. Tottenham's army of European scouts have been handed the unenviable task of finding a replacement by sporting director Damien Comolli — news that will be music to the ears of Ferguson.
The United boss had feared that Spurs would not be willing to sell in January under any circumstances.

drogba is the best striker in the leauge mate
ronaldo lol
spurs arnt that sillyto think we would sell him
they want nani plus 10 mil
id like berba to come but it will only happen in the summer
ps i think rvp is better than berbatov
If we do buy him i think it will be brown + saha + money (dunno how much), a worth while deal, but we would then need a RB aswell as gazza is quite old and planning for the future is whats needed at RB! I personally want benzema and a RB, micah richards maybe?
