"I love Manchester United"
No brainer
Apparently the Arshavin transfer is back on for Spurs.
If this happens it would surely help our chances of getting the Berbanator

Ferguson less optimistic over Berbatov

MANCHESTER, England (AFP) - Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson claimed on Friday that he was "less optimistic" of bringing any new faces into the club before the transfer deadline at the end of the month.
Ferguson has been pursuing Tottenham's Bulgarian international striker Dimitar Berbatov this summer yet he is not holding his breath about signing the 27-year-old before the transfer shutters come down.
Asked whether he was any more optimistic than he was two weeks ago about completing any signings, Ferguson replied: "I'm feeling less optimistic right now.
"We are looking at something, but if it doesn't come off then we will carry on as we are."
United, the reigning Premier League champions, have been hit by a string of injuries at the start of their title defence. They are missing several key players including Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored 42 times last season, Owen Hargreaves and Ryan Giggs.
Ronaldo has resumed light jogging and gym work since undergoing ankle surgery while Hargreaves and Giggs are expected to return from their respective knee and hamstring injuries soon.
But the spate of injuries has prompted Ferguson to move to strengthen his squad and failure to bring in any new faces before the deadline will be viewed as a setback.
United have a free weekend to prepare for Monday's game at Portsmouth as they look to bounce back from an unspectacular 1-1 opening day draw with Newcastle.
Ferguson insists England manager Fabio Capello's decision to overlook Rio Ferdinand for the captaincy of the national side will not impact on the United defender.
Capello opted to hand the role to Chelsea's John Terry, but Ferguson believes Ferdinand will not let the disappointment hit his performances.
"It was always going to be a close call," said Ferguson. "But I'm sure it will not affect him.
"He's proved himself as a centre-back and it was purely a choice the England manager had to make."
Ferguson revealed that Mikael Silvestre was half way through a medical at neighbours Manchester City when he received a call from Arsenal.
The 31-year-old French defender joined Arsenal from United this week after nine years of service at Old Trafford.
Silvestre had talks with City but had second thoughts when Arsene Wenger made it clear he wanted him at Arsenal.
"Manchester City came on the scene and he was half way through a medical with them when he got a phone call and went to Arsenal," said Ferguson.
"We recognise the service he has given us and we wish him well."

I already posted that on the previous page!!
Sorry didn't see it.But worth posting twice.
Kaka
Another great day. we definately arent getting anyone and our star player looks suicidal in 10 separate pictures.
I know Rio has missed out on the England captaincy, but i'm positive that he's happy at this club.
"I don't feel confidence on the deal"
Even Ronaldo is not happy on Berber's situation.
B.R.> What is your take on this, down to the wire, or no deal?
No Berber, I sad.
He probably looked up at the sky then saw rooneys white legs.
Haha, he must have lamented how sexy they are!
Sky really don't have a clue on the Arshavin deal. One minute they say he is going to sign a new contract and the next minute he is joining Spurs.
How can Berbatov seriously play for Spurs again after the shirt signing incident.? Spurs fans are calling for his blood FFS.
Andrei Arshavin is likely to join Tottenham before the close of the transfer window, according to Zenit St Petersburg coach Dick Advocaat.
Advocaat has revealed that talks are continuing between the two clubs, saying: "Last year we sold Martin Skrtel to Liverpool for £10 million, and now probably Arshavin will go to Spurs."

True. Notice Dick Advocaat says something along the same line as Ramos.
No idea. What about Barry? Capello says he is distracted by the transfer saga.
squirtel cost £10m

Exactly the same as us and Ronaldo. Their best player, so if he stays the fans will just get on with it.
I feel more and more sure he isnt coming.
The latest from Fergie:

And Manucho has just got his work permit, apparently (see other thread) so maybe the need for a striker is less pressing.
Waiting patiently.
10k of posts wasted then..
Who needs Berby, when we've got Manucho.

It means "Everything/anything is possible"
Santa Cruz has signed a new 4 year contract with Blackburn (according to SSN).
Put another way: who needs to be fecked up the arse by Levy when they have a perfectly good cucumber to hand?

The special one says he has been scouted by him before and is not United quality.
