I just don't want to see Madrid coming in offering Saviola and cash, as we'd end up with serious egg on our faces if it all backfired on us now.

There would be mass suicide across the red world

Many of us would be quite alright thank you. Not all of us are Berbatov fanboys.

I think the signing of Pav will be enough to let Berbatov go.
They'd then have Bent and Pav as out and out strikers, with Dos Santos as a support striker.

I suppose they could do with another support striker to balance things up with regards cover and rotation, but the main thing here is getting a like for like replacement in for Berbatov, which it seems they are going to do.

Is the Arshavin deal still in the pipeline too?

They said he wouldn't play in the Supercup game on Friday to avoid injury while the deal goes through.
 
Right, it looks as though Pavlyuchenko is on his way to Spurs so what is holding this fecking Berbatov thing up now? Ramos needs the money to get the Russian, so I should imagine we'll have Berbatov within the next few days. TBH I don't know what the feck is happening these days with it. One minute he's on the verge of signing and the next he's going to rot in the reserves. Just hurry up for feck sake :mad:

Hopefully it is and Spurs want to announce both signings at the same time.

With those 2 on board they'll be well covered in attack.

They'll be relying on the cash from the sale of Berbatov to make those signings those, so you'd imagine they'll have to let him talk to United regarding personal terms and medical quite soon, just incase any problems were arise that could scupper their own deals.

Fingers crossed, but we really are running out of time.

Only tomorrow and Monday realistically for us to get it done.

I'm only 30% that we will get him now.

We don't need him for the Super Cup, so we have 6 days really, which is plenty of time to sort everything out. Personal terms are probably already agreed anyway ;)

If we're here Monday at this time and he still isn't on board, then we can start to panic.
 
On the BBC website now;

Berbatov seeks Spurs crisis talks
By Sam Lyon

Spurs remain defiant over Berbatov, who is desperate to join Man Utd
Dimitar Berbatov's agent is in London for crisis talks as the player attempts to force a move to Manchester United from Tottenham, BBC Sport understands.

Emil Danchev hopes to meet boss Juande Ramos and chairman Daniel Levy in a bid to thrash out the striker's future.

Berbatov was left out of Saturday's loss to Sunderland due to a "lack of focus", while his relationship with his team-mates appears to have broken down. However, Spurs insist the 28-year-old will not leave for less than £30m. The London club are threatening to let Berbatov "rot in the reserves", according to reports, rather than sell him for less than they believe he is worth. That is despite the fact that the situation has clearly unsettled the club, with defeats to Middlesbrough and Sunderland erasing early-season optimism from fans, and reports of a training ground bust-up involving the Bulgarian adding to pressure on the club.

But Tottenham's position has been made more difficult by the fact that no offer is currently on the table for the striker, despite interest from United as well as two Spanish clubs. At the same time, Spurs' complaint to the Premier League regarding United's conduct in their pursuit of Berbatov is on hold.

Premier League spokesman Dan Johnson confirmed to BBC Sport that the board met 10 days ago to discuss the matter, only to request more information from both clubs. That, as yet, has not been forthcoming.

In the meantime, Spurs are continuing with their efforts to strengthen the squad, with Spartak Moscow's Roman Pavlyuchenko believed to be closing on a move to White Hart Lane. The Russia striker, who impressed during Euro 2008 with three goals, reportedly met Spurs officials last month and the club could now push through a deal by Friday.

A busy transfer window has seen Tottenham already pay out more than £43m for the likes of David Bentley, Luka Modric, Heurelho Gomes and Giovani dos Santos. However, the sales of Robbie Keane, Pascal Chimbonda, Younes Kaboul and Paul Robinson, among others, mean they have recouped more than they have spent this summer and are therefore adamant that purchases are by no means dependent on Berbatov's exit.

So, while Andrei Arshavin's proposed switch from Zenit St Petersburg looks highly unlikely, Spurs look certain bring in new faces before the transfer window shuts on Monday. Ajax striker Klass Jan Huntelaar, Radamel Falcao of River Plate and Manchester City defender Vedrun Corluka are also thought to be on their list of targets.

I'm sure they've got some way of magically transport the papers. Like through a new fad called internet, or the acclaimed fax machine.
