Spurs = Saha + Brown + £6 million - BERBATOV

United are set to make a bid for Spurs striker Dimitar Berbatov in the January transfer window according to reports in numerous papers today. The bid will consist of £6 million, Louis Saha and Wes Brown for the Bulgarian international.

Berbatov has somewhat failed to build on his stunning performances from last season for the Londoners, however in recent weeks he is beginning to rekindle last season's flame.

Wes Brown rejected a contract from united last week and it appears now as if he is on his way out of Old Trafford. As for Louis Saha, the Frenchman has been out of favour this season, third in line to Carlos Tevez and Wayne Rooney.

Spurs have been needing to build their defence and Wes Brown would be a decent player to bring in to start doing so. Saha would obviously just be a direct swap for Berba which I think would be a decent deal for Spurs, except I would probably look for a bit more than £6 million.

What I am wondering is who will start for the league champions should Berbatov join them? Which two would you start between; Rooney, Tevez and Berba. Only one thing's for sure if this deal goes through both sides will have a lethal strike partnership.
