Chelsea's £26million warchest to land Dimitar Berbatov

Dimitar Berbatov
After Dimitar Berbatov said he's ready to quit Tottenham's sorry ass,Chelsea steps in the hotwater with a £26million warchest. Sorry Man Utd,when Chelsea decides to buy someone, all you can to is watching and mouthwatering.
Let's pack the worthless £30million-too-much Andriy Shevchenko's ass back to Italy,shall we?

"SunSports says:

CHELSEA will make a £26million swoop for Dimitar Berbatov this month.

The Blues reckon the Tottenham hitman can revive their title challenge.

Manchester United were also interested but accept they will be outbid by Roman Abramovich.

SunSport revealed yesterday the Bulgarian, 26, is ready to quit Spurs.

And that has alerted United and Chelsea, who meet Berbatov’s criteria.

Agent Emil Dantchev said: “If a club that corresponds to Dimitar’s class and ambition comes in with an offer that suits his current club in January, he would like to be allowed to go.”

Chelsea, who trail leaders Arsenal by six points, are desperate to boost their firepower.

Star striker Didier Drogba has been plagued by injuries.

Giants

The Ivory Coast ace is currently recovering from a knee op — and will probably fly out to the African Nations Cup when he is fit.

Meanwhile, Andriy Shevchenko has failed to live up to his billing as one of the world’s top strikers since a £30m move from AC Milan.

The Ukrainian could return to the Italian giants if they come up with the cash.

Salomon Kalou and Claudio Pizarro have failed to provide decent back-up in attack.

And this has left boss Avram Grant searching for new talent in the January window.

Chelsea have been linked with a £10m move for Nicolas Anelka and could fall back to the Bolton striker if they fail with their Berbatov bid.

Spurs supremo Daniel Levy insisted: “We are not a selling club, rather we are building for the future. When we have players on long contracts we have no need to entertain offers.”

Yet Spurs’ fight to hang on to Berba could be a lost cause."
