You never know. They kept Nani and Anderson completely under wraps last summer before we signed them.

Nani and anderson are no Villa and Henry in "world terms" im just saying in these days "surprises" are very rare

Though ill admit Henry would be a surprise

Btw does anyone know if The big H has said anything about the rumours? Ive not heard apeep from him
 
Surely it cant be a large coup, surely nothing so big as villa, huntelaar or henry could be "unveiled"

In todays media something like that would get out, the only way there could be a surprise is if the player is smaller and unsuspecting.

Anderson was a pretty huge coup. Plus we've been linked to all of those, though never backed up with quotes. Well, except Henry.
 
A clear view of what's gonna happen to Berbatov is the game.

If he is to leave then they probably wont put him as it makes no sense at all to put a player that will no longer be on the team on the long term.

Check out if he isn't even on bench when the game kicks off.
 
Will Berbas involvement tomorrow, if he is selected, indicate anything?

Obviously if hes not playing we can draw our own conclusions but if he is, is that Ramos saying "This is my team" etc

He'll start regardless of whether he's leaving, to be honest. Well, he could. On the plus side, it'd be a message to us : We're happy we have the player, meet our demands or feck off. As things stand he's staying. Of course, if he picked up an injury that'd put a blot on things. But his injury record suggests that probably wouldnt happen.

Someone else said that already, I disagree. If I were Spurs I would still play Berbatov, they don't have the resources to just take out the best player in their team and put in someone like Dos Santos or Lennon instead.
 
Just seen Ferguson at the press conference.

Very mischeivous with the you might be surprised what happens in the next two days line.

Got a reaction from the journos...:lol:
 
Just to add with what gerry said....

I just saw the full press conference with Fergie now and at the end he was asked would he sign Berbatov by August 31st and he answered.."I have nothing at all to say, you might be surprised what happens in the next 2 days".

All the journalists went WOOOO and Fergie had a big grin on his face lol.
 
Was fergie just teasing though you think?

Someone youtube it please, i would like to see for myself

Well that blows all other transfers out then surely? Hes clearly talking in relation to berba there

I have a good feeling right now.

Although that will probably change as soon as I read something else in the paper. I´m a cnut that way.

We're re-signing Keiran Richardson then....

Young, English, pacy, can play on the left and in the middle. Could be the next Giggs, especially with that curly hair of his.

Wouldn´t mind a cheeky 20 million bid :drool:
 
you would have to think he is talking about berbatov, without actually saying his name... it would be a delight if he came out before the game at newcastle and did a lap of honour

Why?

The transcription B9 gave didn't really indicate what I felt SAF was doing. It was more like he was giving 2 separate sentences, and therefore, possibly, 2 separate answers.

So...

re: Berbs being here by 31/8 - I have nothing to say.

However, you might be surprised at what happens in the next 2 days.

The latter could easily refer to some other development that might affect the likelihood of Berba signing - or just show the journalists they've been missing something.

Anyway - it's more fun to think the possibilities might be wider.

Here's to a fun weekend!

:lol:

I didn't know how to word that, but Berb9 is right, therw were audible gasps from the audience...:lol:

Was he just teasing? Maybe, but hopefully not about this. He's usually in a good mood when he jokes with (usually at) the press.

I have heard (ITK classified) that sometimes he's in a bad mood.

Ah right i read it as "theres nothing happening now, but you may be surprised within two days"

Clearly without video i cant judge so someone find me a video!
 
Berbatov hint from Ferguson?

Updated 22.40 Fri Aug 15 2008


Sir Alex Ferguson is remaining tight-lipped on Dimitar Berbatov's possible move to Old Trafford.
The Manchester United boss refused to speculate on whether the club has signed the Spurs star, but dropped a hint by warning fans to expect a surprise in the next 48 hours.
"You might be surprised at what is going to happen over the next two days" - Sir Alex Ferguson
Asked whether he expected to bring in a new player to help United defend their Barclays Premier League title, he said: "I cannot give you an answer because there isn't one."
He added: "You might be surprised at what is going to happen over the next two days."
With a lack of attacking options, Sir Alex will have to rely on older members of his squad like Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes, aged 35 and 34 respectively.
Ferguson said: "We do have to protect the old dinosaurs a little bit more but they are all fit guys."
He added: "Giggs' endurance test was the best in the club this summer, which is unbelievable. I don't know what he is made of.
"He has never carried any weight either and has always looked after himself, so he will play a lot of games for us.
"Paul Scholes is much the same, as is Gary Neville. There is plenty of football left in them as well."
Wayne Rooney will play in the opening game against Newcastle after overcoming worries over his fitness last week.

Maybe a new assistant manager will be named lol.

He's an awful tease Fergie is lol.
 
usual mind games, im just seriously hoping that we sign berba, it would be a real shame if it didnt materialize he is united class and can become a definite fan favorite with the potential to become a united legend

I felt there was enough of a pause to merit a full stop between the 2.

It was also almost as if he gave the standard answer to the Berbatov question, & then decided he'd add a teasing remark given the opportunity.

Ferguson's jokes are always barbed.

He was asked what message he had for young players like Anderson and Nani after winning the double in their first season.

Don't go the Olympics or get suspended.
