If it wasn't obvious enough anyway, the Rosicky thing is nonsense:

If it weren't for Rosicky's injuries he's be first on the team sheet for every game. Has great chemistry with whoever he's playing alongside. Would be silly to lose him. Players like Ozil and Cazorla love him. Ozil was in the press not so long ago saying he's one of the best in the Prem. A player's player.
If he can't perform to a reasonable level for Fulham under the exceptional coach he had at United which many revered, how's he going to do it here when we really need him to.
I think they would rather keep him in the hope they can get a tune out of him, than simply get rid him and weaken their squad and subsequently their chances of staying up.
If they have a replacement in mind, perhaps, they might see the value, but I don't get why they'd be happy with such a deal otherwise to be honest.
I'm not sure I really want him here but I imagine his motivation levels would be different, given we're top of the league with a good midfield and Fulham...well aren't, with Sidwell and Parker behind him.
They're not going to be happy whenever they lose him, so maybe best now whilst they can more for him perhaps. Clubs sell and buy routinely; they sold Dembele, Dempsey and Zamora. I don't think they're going to keep Berbatov for much longer.
He'll always have the ability to produce a Berba moment when he controls a ball with one sublime touch or puts in a lovely outside-of-the-foot cross, but those moment occur roughly once a month now.
He has been shockingly poor for Fulham this season and even struggles to put away tap-ins now.
This may be because he thinks he's too good for Fulham, but that would make wanting him here even more bizarre. We finally have a group of players who back up their talent with the required hard work needed to display it on a consistent basis. Berbatov is a pre-madonna who would disrupt the balance. The aforementioned fact that he's most likely lost it makes him an absolute Must Not Get™.
Besides, we've got Dimitar Ozil to languidly spray balls around while not giving a fuck.
Pre-Madonnas :bow:
Dennis Bendtner and Park will be gone in the summer, so if we could get Berbatov on an 18 month deal that could be ideal. If he's shite at least we wouldn't be burdened with him and we could still look for a super quality striker in the process. I've always been a fan of his and I'd like to think his level of motivation and interest would change if he joined us given we are approximately a billion times better than Fulham.
Don't see it happening though, you can count on one hand the amount of domestic players Wenget has ever signed.
I think it's safe to write this January off, nothing to see here.
Hard to agree.
