Have Spurs said they don't want to sell then?

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

well cant see anything saying they want to sell him on their website? Have they said they want to sell him?

Do you think Spurs or any other club would want to sell one of their best players (who was already in a contract with them?).

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

They said last season they didn't want to sell him, the constant drip drip got to the player and he didn't impress the new manager. Although to be fair to Berbatov why would he want to stay, not when their top transfer target considers plying his trade in Uzbekistan more attractive than North London

Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o is travelling to Uzbekistan to talk to the country's leading club, with Kuruvchi reportedly ready to put together a $40m deal. "I'm planning to return to Barcelona and starting from Saturday, I will consider all my options, including the one from Kuruvchi," said Eto'o. (Reuters, 1827 BST)

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

Its on the fans' sites. They aren't best pleased. although its a bit different. Its not quite tapping up, but still its not professional.

We knew he wanted to go and expected it, but are also a bit annoyed its all been left so late. We still didn't have any word from Berbatov past the pre-season deadline and no offers revealed. Now it seems like a deal, and we've not really got any firm leads. We do Santa Cruz, Arshavin, Pavlyuchenko in the frame, but its not promising, especially if we lose Keane as well.

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

From what i've heard/read he wants to play champions league football, which he wont get at Spurs this season at least. United put a bid in and it is only stalling because Spurs want more money for him apparently. I'm sure if they didn't want to sell him they would have released a statement saying so, as this isn't just speculation, an actual bid has been made.

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has insisted Cristiano Ronaldo will be at Old Trafford next season and will not be joining Real Madrid.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...td/7514329.stm

Intresting that they met last week, i wonder what was said.

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

Then the club will endure the same nonsense next season, just like Arsenal had with Viera and Spurs had with Berbatov, plus if his performances drop so will his value, Berbatov was 'worth' 40 odd million this time last year, now half that

And I wonder what Fergie made of his slave comments, what slave ever got £100k a week?

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

The difference being in this case is United have apparently submitted a formal bid for Berbatov. Real have not submitted any bid for Ronaldo.

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

Thats because alex ferguson knows ronaldo wants to go so dimitar berbatov is a good replacment for ronaldo ;)

Did you get the information about Berbatov from Kevin T's post, that appears two posts above yours? ;)

Chelsea are set to sign AC Milan's world player-of-the- year Kaka for a world-record fee of €100m (£79.2m). (The Guardian)

:shocked: Crazy money

Sunderland have had a £23m bid for Younes Kaboul, Pascal Chimbonda, Steed Malbranque and Teemu Tainio accepted by Tottenham. (Various)

And Niall Quinn accused the Hammers of over inflating the market last season, doofus, if Chel$ki are paying crazy money then they are paying money for old rope, the Spuds will be laughing all the way to the bank

Seems Levy's source for his complaint has been an article in The Sun and we all know how reliable they are - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...td/7513117.stm

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

Being a mad Spurs fan, as far as l am aware, Berba and Keano, are NOT for sale, and if Fergie can afford £30 million, he should shove it in his gob, to keep his gob shut, he has this opion, that he controls football, well he doesn't, if he cannot control that spoilt brat Ronaldo, then he could offer him to a lower division side, Berba is worth ten of him, Keano is a hero at The Lane, so l cannot see him leaving, Spurs are not a feeder

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

To be honest, I hope that Spurs keep Berbatov, as I don't really want him at Utd...I am not that impressed with him...

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

Hi The Daddy, If this rumour is true about Kaka, FOR £79.2 MILLION from Chelsea is true, which would not surprise me, then sorry to say, EACH and every Chelsea fans, are mad to go to Chelsea, and pay those Chelsea prices, no matter who the player is, NO one is worth that sort of money, if Chelsea can throw that sort of money about, they can reduce the season tickets for there fans, or give it to the players trust, to look after players that have to retire early, there are clubs fighting for survival, in the greatest game there is - football, each week, we all go to see our favourite team play, and it does cost a lot of money, if l go to Spurs, it will cost me about £90.00 for that game, but if players are going to cost this sort of money, then we might as well pack it in as at the end of the day it is US, who will be paying towards that cost, for example, for one game a club must get about £5.million, it is about time the football authorities put a stop to silly money, being paid for players.

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

Nothing to worry, Arthur old boy...

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

No one is worth that sort of money, yet Milan turned the offer down, who is the sane one I wonder :scratch: Milan could do with that dosh as well, their team is so old and you know Ronaldo was priced similarly to Kaka and Real seemed to think they'd make a profit on the deal overall due to advertising

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

Yep just one article :rolleyes:

Tottenham have submitted a year's worth of evidence to the Premier League to support their complaint

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...ur/7514933.stm

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

Hi The Daddy, Being a Spurs supporter, let me tell you something, for the past 18 months, Spurs fans have had this Fergie & Berba, hanging over the club, for some unknown reason Fergie has this thing, that he can get away with everything he does, against the authorities, and it is about time, he went elsewhere, it unerves playaers, l am sure if Berba, wanted to leave the club, then l am sure Ramos and Levy, would let him go, but why should Spurs be the feeder clubs for the so called top four. I will only believe that something is happening at Tottenham, when it appears on the Spurs web page, As far as l am concerned, the papers only print rubbish, that, leads to more rubbish, check out the Spurs web page at www.spurs.co.uk or www.fansfc.co.uk, which give you football news up 5 minutes away.

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

As far as i am aware it's only this past week that United have put in one bid for Berbatov and thats it, i don't remember hearing anything about it 18 months ago as you claim. It will be intresting to see what articles Levy has found in The Sun to form his complaint against United from that long ago.

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

Point of order, but wasn't it Berbatov (or, at least, his agent) who's spent much of, let's see, yup, 18 months saying that he wants to leave Spurs anyway? I'm no great fan of Ferguson, but pretty much all he's done is confirmed that Man U have made a bid :shrug:

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

That's against the rules for a start

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

Hi Nugget, l do agree on the Berba agent stuff, but Fergie was after him at the begining of last season, but what the biggest problem surrounding Berba, he reminds me of Chivers, he was a lazy player, until Nicholson, put his boot up his backside, and l know, what Bill Nich, would have said today, if you don't want to play in our white shirt, you can leave, and he did not muck about either, l think if Berba, went to Man Utd, Fergie, would not put up with his moods, when he plays for Spurs, he can be very quiet one minute, then explode the next, and he does NOT like to be taken off, but this has been going on for the last 18 months. I have supported Spurs for 30 years, and the club has the same attitude, if you don't want to play for us, you can go, no matter how big the player was.

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

That's true Arthur, I know some think papers just make stories up but imo there is truth behind the stories, leaked to them by clubs and agents alike. The first post from last seasons transfer thread:

http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/34313336-post1.html

The thing is had this transfer saga not hit the press then perhaps he wouldn't have been a moody so and so, before the specualtion he was on fire

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

[quote=TheDaddy;34605792]Oh come on Daddy, everyone know's Fergie never unsettles players.

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

He has said he wants to buy one player and mentioned no names. The Sun have said he has bid for Berbatov and Levy has confirmed that by the complaint he has made. The anti-Ferguson/United brigade are out to critcise him for things he hasn't done because of the complaint made against Madrid.

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

He said at a supporters club that he expected to sign Berbatov soon, in front of hundreds of witnesses, care to explain that, or is that the Suns fault to

We have confirmed the comments came from Sir Alex talking at a supporters' meeting.

Of course United deny Fergie said any such thing, but then they would, wouldn't they?

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

Knowing the man's arrogance he probably turned up and addressed the Spurs supporters club......

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

You missed the first bit -
A Tottenham spokesman added: "We have confirmed the comments came from Sir Alex talking at a supporters' meeting.

Ferguson then said -

"I don't know where they got those quotes from but it wasn't from me. The complaint appears to be on the basis of a story in a paper."
Fergie had an interview with United's Scandinavian Supporters' Club branch last week but the Reds have checked the tape and there is nothing untoward in the transcript.

It's one person's word against another at the moment, we wont find out until the premier league have looked at it. Fair enough, he deserves the criticism if he did say that but at the moment we don't know.

---------- Post added at 17:09 ---------- Previous post was at 17:08 ----------

It doesn't take long for the whole anti-Ferguson/United brigade to come out these days does it?

What about Chelsea's public pursuit of Robinhio, shall we talk about that and the comments Kenyon has made?

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

Difference being that Robino was not wanted by Real Madrid. Robino himself has said he felt he was not wanted by the club as, ironically they were trying to use him as part of a deal to sign Ronaldo.

Besides I dont hear any complaints from the Real Madrid camp - just thinks about his valuation.

Oh and also unlike Man Utd/Fergie I havent heard anyone from Chelsea moaning about underhand tactics by any other clubs when it comes to unsettling their players.

I think you fail to understand the point that both me and the daddy have made. Un settling players happens all the time. We are just finding it totally hypocritical at how much Fergie/Man Utd etc moaned at Real's pursuit of Ronaldo when he does the same himself (he does have a proven track record of unsettling players)

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

I'm not going to get into this argument again, but saying that the whole Berbatov/United and Ronaldo/Madrid stories are the same in the way that clubs unsettle players is ridiculous, even if Ferguson did make those comments. The main differences being that United have actually made a bid and Spurs have said that Berbatov may be leaving, whereas Madrid have not made a bid and United have said Ronaldo is not leaving. Two huge differences and making comparisions is wrong because of them.

If we are talking about hypocrites what about Spurs and the way they took John Bostock from Palace? Oh yeah, that doesn't involve United, so isn't important, silly me.

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

You're forgetting that when one of those people is a United representative then they're automatically guilty.

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

Levy......

See you in court Levy. ;)

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

How come there isn't uproar over Harry Redknapps recent comments? Where is the difference in what he says and what Fergie is supposed to be saying?

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

Well the major difference is that their clubs haven't made any complaints :shrug:

In other news we have signed Behrami. Good player imo might not tear up any trees but he tries hard

Robbie Keane heads to Anfield in £20m deal

According to The daily mail.......

If it's true, this will really give Levy the right hump.

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

Bit worrying as we are set to lose our top 2 strikers 3 weeks from the start of the new season.

On the brightside, it looks like we could be signing Villa.

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

Real Madrid are preparing a £31.5m bid for Valencia striker David Villa but the player's agent says he would be interested in a move to Tottenham. (The Guardian)

Hmm where would you choose to go?

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

They said the last time we signed Rebrov, Klinsmann, Berbatov...

I'm keeping an open mind.

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

Keane deal done, good bit of business by the scousers, I'd expect the transfer merry go round to really get going now

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/foot...ol/7528735.stm

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

Really? I would say that's a good bit of business by Spurs for £20million.

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

Its a return of £13m, so its a good deal for us. Still would like to keep him though.

Liverpool have paid about the right price. Buying big-name foreign talent from outside the Premiership is always a gamble whether they'll fit or not, but they've got themselves a very decent Premier-league ready striker.

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

I'm not saying Keane's a bad player but i don't see how signing him is going to help Liverpool progress, i cant see any of the other top 3 teams wanting to sign Keane if they needed that type of player. I don't think he's worth that much money but nearly all players go for more then they should these days so it's no suprise. I still think if Torres get's injured Liverpool will struggle to get goals. Ofcourse i may be proven wrong and he will get 30 goals this season but i see him going the same way as Crouch.

Intresting to see how Levy drops the case against Liverpool tapping up after they pay him off.

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

Benitez was always intent on bolstering the Liverpool squad with a player from the British Isles this summer but when you look at some of the other signings the worrying trend continues: more of the same young foreigners to stick in the reserves for a few seasons and invariably get rid of when they get found out. Surely there must be some decent young British players coming through the academies and youth systems of clubs in general to stop this from happening, if not, something has to be done asap.

Plenty of yids are excited about this but i'm not so sure. I think he's overhyped, and this will surely see Lennon leave next season.

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

I agree and some thing else that'll cheer you is that Arsenal are now £5-6 million richer due to a sell on clause

Re: Close Season Transfer Rumour Mill
 

I see Bentley, doing well in the yids squad this season, he scored tonight in the 2-0 defeat of Celtic, with Bent scoring the first, Spurs pulled out of the Achavin deal, as his club put the price up, l still cannot understand, how Spurs will manage if they sell Berba, as the goals that Bent has scored, HAVE been in friendlies, but time will tell, l also see what happens, next week, when the play FCRoma.
