The Sky Transfer Clockwatch is saying it's a done-deal.

Real will look like total idiots if they let Robinho go now. Would have to call them stupid if they sell. His a good player, so hope Chelsea dont get him.
That Berbatov interview was very revealing and we get to find out more of his personality. He would fit in just fine at this club. It was also good to see him signing a Manchester United shirt, hopefully the first of many. Do whatever it takes but we must complete this transfer soon.
Beratov is almost TOO much like Cantona. Its a hellofa legend to live up to. He'd be wise to distance himself from such comparisons and carve his own route to leg-end status..... let me know if I'm getting ahead of a deal that's still some way off 
Another 10 days of this crap. God help us all.
A 2 point deficit does still illustrate a gulf between the teams, however small that may be. Which is why I don't understand why we would need to keep up. Perfectly logical to say that we should continue to try and raise the bar and improve, but to say we need to keep up confuses me.
They did get a new right back, and that is an improvement I agree. I'm not sure how much of an impact that will have in all honesty though, even with the constant changes there last season no-one really exploited it as a weak point, other than us in the final.
They have as much problem's in the striking position as us, imo. Anelka and Drogba are their two main strikers and then they have a youngster in Di Santo backing them up. Kalou is as much of a striker as Ronaldo, just in case anyone wanted to bring him into the equation. And it seems likely to me that they will go with two up top this season.
Winning the Premier League and the Champions League.
There would've been no deficit if they hadn't let Bolton score a last-minute goal, thing that wouldn't have happened if their result still mattered. They broke down once United scored the 2nd against Wigan and threw the game away.
Chelea got a bad start last season and had to contend with the African Nations, they also now have a world clas manager and have added Deco and Bosingwa, if Robinho joins too I think we woul dneed to improve in order to stay ahead of them...
Maybe they'll have a bad end to this season then, who knows? They might have an injury crisis.
A world class manager might be pushing it a bit.
If we didn't sign anyone, would we then be a worse team than Chelsea? This question might as well be directed to everyone here.
That's just like saying if Ronaldo had played in the match against Chelsea, we might have beaten them and finished further ahead of them. Or if Rooney didn't get injured. Or if a penalty was given.
Fact is, we finished as league and Champions League winners and so were the better team last season.
Bosingwa does 2 things, it gives them a good right back and Essien can start in central midfield, the latter also should be available all season as their is no African Nations cup
They only play one upfront so Anelka and Drogba is enough and then they can pull players out of position, Kalou is Drogbas strike partner at international level, they've kids and Shevchenko though he could be leaving, is Pizzaro still around?
i step away from the thread for feckin five minutes, and my name's already being raked through the mud.
MY NAME IS MY NAME!!!!!!
Damn I loved that show... all good things come to an end. Sigh...
Has he signed yet or what?
We were the better team, but that doesn't mean we had the better squad. We had our injuries, but thankfully our key players in that campaign stayed relatively injury free throughout.
Their back-four last season was in constant upheaval, and their two largest goal threats (Lampard/Drogba) also missed portions of last season through injury. The change of manager also wouldn't have helped things.
This shouldn't at all detract from what we achieved last season, but we got the required luck and misfortune for rivals that often teams need when achieveing what we did last season.
Does that mean they'll have a better season than last? Even with all of the problems, Chelsea still had a very good season because they have a massive squad. That doesn't mean they'll definitely have a better season this year though.
They might play two up front this year, they probably will. We can pull players out of position, and we have kids. Shevchenko will get hardly any games, even if he stays. Pizzaro is gone. Similar situation, but people here have a completely different outlook on it compared to ours.
Pizzaro's gone off on loan, but I totally agree.
But who's to say Chelsea won't have injuries again, and we may go through the season without injuries for the majority of it. We might get some lucky decisions and they might have all of the bad luck.
It is amazing how many parralels there are. The whole "dream" thing, the palaver about being given a shirt (albeit briefly, in Berbatov's case) and the "tapping up" accusations.
If anything, Berbatov has behaved worse, by letting this affect his performances on the pitch. Assuming this deal goes through, I wonder if the Ronaldo boo-boys will pause to think about the irony of cheering Berbatov on at the same time?
but at the same time I heard that Berbatov actually put in a transfer request. something that Ronaldo was never going to do.
Truest post i have read in my two years in the caf.
How come idiots like him get away with these,double standards from caf management...
Well we are having an injury crisis right now. At the end of the day you must do everything you can to make sure things work out in your favour. It would be wise for us to strengthen because it would mathematically give us a higher chance of coping with any eventuality. We need to be proactive rather than reactive.
Unfortunately the CnutOfAllCnut's has a bit of a vendetta against Dimitar Berbatov. Its clear that he doesnt want him anywhere near our club. You can get that vibe by reading all his posts.
Missed you in here mate.
Anyway it's hard work but someone's gotta do it. Its many years since I've done any ensconcing so it makes a change.
I have a feeling that we're not going to sign him today. Just a feeling.
We may or may not sign him... Oh there's no doubt about that...
Well now I know where to find you BR I guess I'll drop by more often. Have we signed him yet?
(I've actually read most of the thread, but as I said before there are guys on here who know a great deal more than I about the technical aspects of the game; I just sit by and throw in tedious jokes from time to time! He sure looks like the real deal to my limited critical faculties though, I have to say.)
He did sign, yes.
This thread's been hilarious at times. I actually guffawed yesterday. As was pointed out no-one has actually guffawed since 1946.
I love the Wire. Currently recording all of season 5 on Sky+ then going to watch the lot.
Oh I do it regularly at least twice before breakfast. I get out of bed and go forward to the bathroom, and then I go forward again to the kitchen to get some coffee and toast.
He seems to view an alarming number of players that way!
I've actually got to go and do some work for the next couple of hours. So there's a good chance he'll sign in the next couple of hours.
It's just how it is ehsanul. Why do some kids get the blame in school when there were 10 kids involved ?
He signed 2 minutes ago. Check sky
excellent, I'm unzipping as we speak.
Has he landed yet?
We are still Berbless
