you know that for a fact?
you were at the club at the time?
I'm capable of deciding on what my reasons are for looking back favourably on a players time at this club without inventing anything thank you.
he's a merc, he wanted money
By all means, do whatever is convenient for you, but don't attempt to try and revise history so you feel better about it.
Spurs will not pursue their complaint to the Premier League accusing United of chasing 27-year-old Berbatov.
"Joining United is a dream come true. I look forward to playing my part in helping this club win more honours," he told the Old Trafford side's website."

The Bulgarian international's future, a regular source of speculation during Spurs' poor start to the season, was made uncertain again when his agent, Emil Dantchev, was quoted as saying that the 26-year-old would like to leave if a club that "corresponds to Dimitar's class and ambition comes in with an offer that suits his current club in January".

However, Berbatov's father Ivan last night told Bulgarian television: "My son doesn't feel happy at Tottenham any more and wants to leave."
The striker's agent Emil Dantchev and Ivan Berbatov flew into London from Sofia following that interview for more talks with Tottenham chiefs.
Reports in the Daily Mirror claim a close friend of Berbatov has said: "Dimitar is telling everyone he doesn't want to stay and would like to leave in January.
"He feels he made a mistake in the summer by not asking the club to sell him when Manchester United were interested."

Berbatov, 27, has been constantly linked a move to Manchester United.
Spurs boss Ramos said: "I do not think he is focused enough. I do not feel he will be good for the dressing room."
...
Asked if that meant Berbatov was on his way out of the club Poyet shrugged and said: "What can I say? I think the best thing is to wait to 1 September.
"There is nothing to hide. We talked to him, like Juande said, the other day and he was not in the right condition to play - I think you say in England, 'not in the right frame of mind'.
"That's the situation, everybody knows, there's nothing we can do."
The Bulgarian has stated it would be his "dream" to move but United are believed to have had a £20.5m bid rejected for the player.

Levy claimed that the Bulgarian striker twice refused to play for the club in August, and also criticised the level of 'player power' in the game.
"We had a player in Berbatov who had refused to play two games for us, having a detrimental affect on the dressing-room," he said.
"We'd known for a year that the player wanted out of this club.
"The reality is that in modern football the players have all the power."
Levy said last week that he felt no choice but to sell Robbie Keane in the summer, so he could fulfil his boyhood dream, but, when it came to Berbatov he said the club had just felt let down.
...
"Dimitar Berbatov was a player who we brought to this club at a time when Man United were interested in him. He made a conscious decision to come to this club, we invested a lot of money, nobody had ever heard of Dimitar Berbatov when we bought him.
"A year later with 10 days to go to the end of the window he tells us he wants to leave to go to Manchester United. We were very disappointed."
Levy also said he thought Berbatov's treatment of the club was disgraceful, and that would not even consider discussing the possibility of a new contract, insisting that playing for Manchester United was his ultimate goal.
"I don't think he treated this club with the respect that we honestly deserved, he said.
"We put him on the map, I think he's an outstanding player, but he signed a long-term contract with this club and I think he should have stayed.
"
I had so many conversations with him. He kept saying it was about his ambition to play for Manchester United. It wasn't a money issue. We offered him a new contract and he wasn't even interested in discussing it."
