He'll have more chance of doing it a City than Spurs, the spuds make me laugh, to deluded to realise they are nowt more than a feeder club these days, the times when they were a genuine challenger aren't remembered in most peoples life times

I wouldn't say they were massive, they have always struck me as relying on local support and genuine fans

Re: Football : Season 08/09
 

Is it not obvious?? ;)

Saying that, I also support Swansea and should we make it to the premiership next year, when United come to visit I'll be in the home section of the Liberty Stadium cheering the Swans on and it'll be the only time I'll be praying for a United loss :)

Anyway, if Fergie really wanted Berba maybe he should have offered close to the asking price (25million would have been more realistic) than trying to buy him on the cheap.

I bet until this morning he was thinking he'd still get berba on the cheap as spurs would have been forced to sell him. Bet you he aint feeling so smug now.

Not good.

Re: Football : Season 08/09
 

According to Sky sports Fergie picked Berbatov up himself from Manchester Airport and took him to Carrington training ground for talks, Fergie left but Berbatov is still there apparently.

Oh and Real Madrid have put a bid in as well lol

Wouldn't any manager want to do the same though? If it wasn't for these Arabs that have bought City, i bet Spurs would have accepted the bid from United and Berbatov would be a United player by now.

Re: Football : Season 08/09
 

Without Berbatov (or in the absence of any real firepower) the scousers at Anfield on saturday will tuck us up in no time.

Breaking news: BBC Sport can confirm that Real Madrid have not put in an offer for Dimitar Berbatov.

Re: Football : Season 08/09
 

20 million for a player who will be 28 in January is a fair price to me. Unlike Chel$ki, and it seems now, Man City, normal clubs have to consider a sell on value. If Berbatov was offered a 5 year contract, that would make him 33 if Man U decided to sell him at the end of his contract. He would be worth practically nothing. It must be nice to be able to buy players, and not giving a toss about such trivial matters as sell on values eh?

Funniest comment from the transfer page on the BBC (where people can text in with the names of which new footballers they've seen arrive on transfer day):

Re: Football : Season 08/09
 

Well it's now upto the player...

Am I the only one happy that he might be going to city?? Or am I the only one supid enough to admit to supporting City (well I was born in Moss-Side)

:D

Don;t you just love transfer rumours...Now the BBC text a rumour page is linking city with Robinho...you just gotta laugh!!!

Re: Football : Season 08/09
 

Next we'll be getting a new manager called A.Ferguson

Re: Football : Season 08/09
 

berbatov to utd, robinho to city:D

Re: Football : Season 08/09
 

City have agreed a deal for Robinho now. They seem to be in the market of messing up other clubs transfers lol

Sky Sports news has pictures of Berbatov shaking hands with David Gill and Fergie at Old Trafford after passing a medical, so it would seem he is either going to United or staying at Spurs, not going to city.

Re: Football : Season 08/09
 

But when did Spurs give United permission to speak to him?

---------- Post added at 00:09 ---------- Previous post was yesterday at 22:37 ----------

Confirmed: Robinho has signed for Man City. Looks like they certainly will be following Chelsea's lead and trying to buy the title as quickly as possible. Expect more activity from them in january.

Re: Football : Season 08/09
 

Berbatov to United - Done deal :D
