Following on from the predictable headlines that follow Tyson Gay's escapades, the Guardian today unleashed a picture/headline combination which they had presumably been sitting on for months, nay, years.
Obviously, a suitable pretext was required to run with the 'Berbatov fumes' line. His potential move to Man Utd had to suffice. This, despite the problem acknowleged within the story itself, that: 'Berbatov has so far refused to agitate in public for a transfer. Although his agent, Emil Dantchev, has voiced his client's desire to play at club football's top level, Berbatov has betrayed his frustrations only through his body language, which at the beginning of last season in particular was lethargic.'
So, no real evidence at all then to suggest that The Berb is currently 'fuming', especially given the general unreliability of football agents. But we can't let this get in the way of a good headline. Bonus points for the 'drag out' part. Kudos to the Guardian!
