who is this guy Andy Garcia?
Have a feeling that Spurs will reject £25 million. I hope not but i think we'll probably have to meet them in the middle and go to £27.5 million or something like that.
hopefully if the price of arshavin has been dropped, then they'll accept 25 mill and everyone's happy.
I think Ramos will be telling levy to cut the bullshit(in less harsh words of course) and accept any reasonable offer for Berbatov as he clearly isn't going to be an option for tottenham and they have to get on with replacing him ASAP.
Everyone can chill out about this transfer now. It's too late for the Portsmouth game, but it will surely happen before the window closes. And that will be in plenty of time before our next significant game, the trip to Anfield.

So, is the waiting until the transfer window closes what you call Berbetual?
barry was sent home from training and fined but is still playing for villa
MoN set a price and didnt accept anything less
i hope our bid, if any , gets accepted but berbatov will get back into the first team if spuds can keep him till the window closes
"he's just coming thru the Chiswick roundabout"
or was that Roger Moore?

Different personalities. Barry is much more likely to pick himself up and do his best. Berbatov is a sulky type, although a 70 percent Berbatov is still better than anything else they have in the attack.
If I was Levy, I would bite our hands off for anything above 23m and buy a replacement ASAP. With their current team, they can forget about an UEFA-spot. They need one more striker at least.
I'm pretty sure that's the road to Carrington
Where are the good news??????
Barry is by most accounts a completely different player from Berba. Temperment wise O'neil alway new that Barry is nothing if not a model professional and if he dragged it out long enougth then Barry was always bound to fall back into line.
Berbatov much like Cantona is a far more complexed personality and if he isn't happy he's not a workhorse type and is a player who you could say needs to go onto the field feeling appreacieted, or comfortable if thats a better word.
You know that Barry will alway give 100% if chosen to play, Berbatov is somebody who when he's nose is put out of joint its clearly gonna effect he's game. He cannot be handled in the same way as Barry.
I dont think this is true, i think they are still in control because if he didnt get his transfer he would be left with no other option but to play for tottenham, there would be nothing he could do so he would have to try to play well, in a couple of months he would have put it behind him and be playing alright again, i dont think berba would want to stagnate and not be playing, he would put aside his personal ambitions to be in the starting line up because im sure there is nothing he hates more than not playing.
We should give them 27 million take it or leave it now.
Im about 70-30 in favour of us getting him now
Cocks Out?

Is that from Alan Partridge?

They are not as comfortable as you think. They have a missfiring front line that looks like even with berbatov it requires at least one more striker. They have a CM that looks badly in need of an actual DM, and they have too new precocious players young players in Modric and Dos santos who are not going to benefit from being around a player who is clearly not commited to the club.
I don't think Berbatov has ever been a Ramos type of player as Juande seems to prefer speedier strikers and I think they should take the 25 mil that we've offered and buy Milito or Forlan. and spend whatevers left over on a proper DM.
"he's just coming thru the Chiswick roundabout"
or was that Roger Moore?
If he's in Chiswick having left N17 he's either lost or not aiming for Manchester..
Agreed.
Really missing the Pogue Vs Glaston battles in this thread!
Where are they both? Have they flown to some distant planet to fight it out in a warrior style arena?

If we have offered 25mill then that's more than double what Spuds payed for him 2 years ago. I reckon that will be enough for even Levy to realise that he can't take any more chances on us just walking away. Come on Levy, let's play double your money!

Would hate to be Berba right now. I guess much like Ronaldo he took a risk and used public mediums to state his desire to play for United. Even if Spurs don't sell him he is going to have to face the absolute wrath of Spurs fans. There are quite a few of them around where I live and believe me, they are going to give him absolute hell if they see him play again in a Spurs shirt
I see your point, but at the same time, levy being levy isnt going to do anything he dont wanna do and that is to be bullied into selling by the player an us.
We have to keep him sweet for the deal to go through.
They do need another striker and a DM agreed
Manchester United To Ditch Dimitar Berbatov Interest For Klaas Jan Huntelaar?
Speaking on the eve of Manchester United's clash with Newcastle, Sir Alex Ferguson hinted United would land a striker within the next 48 hours, a week down the line, the United faithful anxiously await a new arrival at Old Trafford.
It appears that despite agreeing "in principle" a fee for Dimitar Berbatov on Tuesday, Spurs went back on their word as Daniel Levy told Manchester United that the deal was off again.
Caught in no man's land, the Red Devils made an approach to Spurs, hoping to seal the deal for a £28 million deal for the Bulgarian by Friday. However, Spurs have not responded to Manchester United's approach which has meant that despite keeping Dimitar Berbatov has his prime target, Sir Alex Ferguson has once again decided to look elsewhere for options and one name that has popped up again is Klaas Jan Huntelaar.
The Ajax striker who earlier indicated his desire to move to the Red Devils saying he deemed them as his "dream club" is apparently now being tracked by Ferguson.
An official at Ajax, Veaski Bujovin has revealed that the Red Devils have made an approach for the Dutch hotshot.
"Yes, I can confirm, there has been an approach but no official bid yet."
"The club will assess it's own squad in the next two days and then we will think of our response."
However, a source at Old Trafford reveals the Red Devils will only look elsewhere if they fail with their second bid for Dimitar Berbatov—which according to reports hasn't been launched yet..
Well, United like Everton don't look any closer to adding to their squad but Owen Hargreaves and Park Ji Sung have returned to training.

Interesting fact, if you search this thread for the word 'cock' you get 100 matches.
Jesus Christ this is like a game of table tennis!
The media seem to be going backwards then forwards, backwards then forwards, backwards then...
its because they dont really have a clue whats happeining, they are just guessing.
Im sure that if we miss out on berbatov we will look elsewhere in the shortspace of time we have, and hunterlaar is another option

Yeah I'd imagine there's a plan B alright, although it wouldn't surprise me one bit if United were content to continue on with the squad they currently have. Fair enough we were fortunate enough last season that things went pretty well with injuries and results, but bringing nobody in allows us to take on this new campaign with a double winning squad
Spot on. Agree 100% mate.
but we are missing ronaldo till novermber, i think this will be a big problem unless we bring someone else in who will socre and make goals (berba)
And when i say problem, i dont tyhink it will be huge, i just think it will mean us losing a few valuable points on chelsea, because they are looking good and dont look likie dropping many points

Ah yeah there's no doubt that we'd be better off with Berba than without him. I thought Ronaldo was coming back sooner.
Feck
Where's this shit coming from? I don't see any reports in the media with these quotes from Ajax that United have made an approach for Huntelaar. Is this website just full of lies that The Sun would be embarassed to print?
Probably. Until i see a new signing standing next to SAF looking all teary eyed and smirky then i ain't gonna believe shit.
End of September actually, but if you choose to believe Custis it's November I guess.
Ladyman > Custis
Would that have been before or after your post?
i dont read the sun, butkiss is not on my radar, however, i heard fergie say 12 weeks in his interview the other day

Berbatov on brink of United switch
Dimitar Berbatov's move to Manchester United should go ahead this week as Tottenham prepare to cash in on a player they know wants to leave.
The 27-year-old has handed in a transfer request to Spurs and wants to join United, with his departure appearing inevitable after head coach Juande Ramos deemed him unfocused to face Sunderland.
Ramos also feared Berbatov was having a negative effect on the dressing room, which suggests there may be no way back for the Bulgaria international who was signed two seasons ago for £10.9million from Bayer Leverkusen.
Spurs would be expected to receive more than double that amount but there has been no official bid since a £20.5million offer was turned down earlier this month.
It is understood the clubs are working towards closing a £10million gap in their respective valuations of the player, whose departure would leave Ramos with one out-and-out striker.
Jermain Defoe was sold to Portsmouth at the start of the year and Robbie Keane left for Liverpool this summer, and Spurs would ideally want to bring in a striker before allowing Berbatov to leave.
Zenit St Petersburg's Andrei Arshavin has been consistently linked, while Wigan's Emile Heskey has been reported this weekend as a potential target.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy was furious when Keane and Berbatov made it clear they wanted to leave White Hart Lane and filed an official complaint with the Premier League.
Spurs dropped the complaint against Liverpool when they signed Keane and made a donation to charity, and United may expect the same treatment if a deal is struck for Berbatov.
Berbatov, meanwhile, could be fined for not being in the right state of mind to play against Sunderland, who took full advantage and defeated Spurs 2-1.

Going by the quotes in that article I'd say this is all but a done deal...
love the sarcasm
just conjecture and no quotes, they could at least have made up some quotes.
