Berbatov set for Jol reunion as outcast United striker undergoes Fulham medical
Dimitar Berbatov is set to join Fulham after manager Martin Jol revealed the Manchester United striker is undergoing a medical ahead of a dramatic switch.
The move reunites Craven Cottage boss Jol with Berbatov after he brought the Bulgarian to the Barclays Premier League in 2006 in a £10.9million deal from German outfit Bayer Leverkusen to Tottenham.
If the deal, believed to be worth as much as £5million, is completed without any issues, Jol hopes to include the Bulgarian in his squad for Saturday's trip to West Ham.
Berbatov was in Turin and close to agreeing a deal with Juventus on Wednesday night after the Italian champions seemingly gazumped Fiorentina to his signature.
The 31-year-old flew to Munich with the aim to take a connecting flight to Florence and speak to Fiorentina. Juventus stepped in while he was at the airport and he missed the flight to Florence. Juventus agreed a £5m fee with United and offered Berbatov £2m a year over two years.
However, Fulham made a late move in the hope of persuading him to stay in England.
The move prompted a furious reaction from Fiorentina who claimed the striker 'didn't deserve to wear our jersey.'
In a statement the club said: 'During today the English club had allowed their player the written permission to come to Florence for a medical and to sign his contract.
'The player got on the flight with his agent and on tickets paid for by Fiorentina. He never arrived in Florence. This was down to outlandish and arrogant behaviour of other clubs, who have nothing to do with fair play and sporting ethics that go even beyond the confines of fairness.
'As for the player, apart from his characteristics and his value on the field, we are happy he didn't come to Fiorentina. He did not deserve our city, to wear our jersey or the values that represent it.'
Juventus director of football Beppe Moratta confirmed they have now switched sights to Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendnter.

This is what the secret footballer had to say on Berbatov.

In relation to this I have a friend who played for wolves in the game where mick made all the changes, he said that berba megged him and that my friend stuck out a leg and after Berba went past he looked him up and down and laughed... If you can back arrogance with performance then why not

[Berserker]

If we sigh him i am going to have him as my wallpaper at work and alternative him with Riise

If Dempsey stays he has to sign just to keep some professional creditability with our fans and the manager

Dempsey signing would be the icing for me!
Come on Clint - you know it makes sense!

Berbatov and Ruiz would be the most awkward, most technically amazing and most creative strike partnership in the Premiership. Look for Fulham to lead the league in backheel passes, rainbows, and nutmegs, if nothing else.

You know that music that plays whenever the Harlem Globetrotters are on the television?

They just play that for the entire match over the Tannoy.  When the whistle goes at full time the scoreboard says 5-0 to Fulham and no one can actually work out what has happened.

Genius! Especially at home to the cloggers from Stoke.

I'm not going to gloat about us having something up our sleeve,  but I LOVE this signing...if it happens.

I ALMOST went for Tottenham when I was choosing a team back in 2007. I remember thinking what a great pair Keane and Berbatov were and so many goals scored. After I finished my spreadsheet, pivot tables and all, Fulham still came up on top, but this guy is amazing on his day.

Loving this if it happens.  098.gif

Overhead flick. Rolling the ball up on the ankle, then flicking ball skywards over the head.

You are kidding, right?

[westcliff white]

altho he is having a medical, has there been any confirmation he has agreed terms?

fr me you dont do the medical unless your sure your going to sign, but have not seen anything to say he has as yet agreed terms.
