Fulham boss Rene Meulensteen has praised the performances of reported wantaway forward Dimitar Berbatov. The Cottagers are currently struggling in the relegation zone of the Premier League but Meulensteen says Berbatov is still performing well on the pitch.
Meulensteen said: "What I said is I will not stand in anyone's way if they wanted to leave.
"With Dimitar I had a good chat when I took over and he has been as good as gold looking at the performances he has put in against Tottenham and Aston Villa.
"With him we are going to really focus on the four upcoming games we have got and from the performance levels that I have seen I am sure everyone will agree if Dimitar plays at that level he will be a very important player in the games to come."
Regarding the transfer window, Meuelensteen added: "We will discuss when we get there.
"For me it is a challenge as a manager. I have known him (Berbatov) for many years, I have worked with him for a long, long time and football will always be about opinions.
"The proof is in the performances on the pitch and so far I can only be pleased with how it has been going."
