So, the problem is the price. But the other thing for Spurs is that no other big club is interested.”<br /> <br /> <strong>Different</strong><br /> <br /> Spurs have denied any grudge against United, however, and a club director has insisted the circumstances surrounding Berbatov and Wallsend-born Carrick are incomparable.<br /> <br /> “Michael Carrick was a different situation,” said the director. “He had a year left on his contract and wanted to move his family closer to home.<br /> <br /> “Dimitar Berbatov has two years left on his contract with an option of a further two years, which is our option. It's not in our interest to sell, especially to another Premier League club, whichever one it might be.”</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> Sun, 29 Jun 2008 14:24:34 +0800 sgforums.com:2424:322540:8204758 omgukilledkenny http://sgforums.com/forums/2424/topics/322540
