Leaving? We're sad, but.....

For the past few days I have been inundated with news on Robbie Keane and Dimitar Berbatov leaving.

If they do leave, Spurs would have lost another few iconic players of recent times. For Robbie Keane, since his move from troubled Leeds back in 2002, he has remained popular with the fans at White Hart Lane, securing Spurs' Player of the Year 3 times.

Berbatov, though he is relatively new, has also captured the Spurs faithfuls' hearts. Since arriving in 2006, the Bulgarian proved to be a good goalscorer, and one of the factors of Spurs being touted as "the team to replace one of the big four".

As a fan, it is sad to see them go, but hey, it's a fact of football life. We were sad then to see Jurgen Klinsmann go (not once, but twice, even though the 2nd time he was on loan), David Ginola, Teddy Sheringham, etc. After all, all football fans around the world have experienced sadness at their fave players leaving, but at the same time welcoming new changes (for better or for worse, that's another issue). For the players themselves, probably they need a new environment where they could advance their footballing careers even more.

All I would say is, we would treasure their existence and contribution in the past, but let us now focus on the future of the club.

Spurs fans! Let's join ranks and move on!
