Post as much as you want. You basically own this thread anyway. Another day closer to the Berb, I hope.
Ha! And all his foes are vanquished - victory for Bahama!
Celebratory Beerbs tonight!

When did Dwight Yorke become the benchmark for United forwards? Very odd.
Who says we could get Benzema anyway, let's go for what's good for us, we wont have the best manager in the world forever
its too late to get benzema this summer. if we want benzema, we'll have to go a full season not buying a striker. are you prepared to do that?
i got a feeling we are gonna sign him tommorrow, yesterday my feeling was not at all, but today is a new day and i feel good, its gonna happen!!!
Any actual news about the signing of Pavlyuchenko, cause i've only heard from the player himself not from the clubs involved. Seems strange to me.
The 26-year-old insists he is on his way to White Hart Lane after a verbal agreement was reached between the north Londoners and his club Spartak Moscow.
"I can confirm that I am joining Spurs," he said.
"Right now I am getting my visa. As soon as it is ready I will fly to London to sign a contract."
Pavlyuchenko, who impressed in Russia's run to the semi-finals of Euro 2008 over the summer, claimed he will not feature in Spartak's Champions League third-round qualifier against Dynamo Kiev as he ties up his switch to England.
He added: "I will not play in Kiev. Everything has happened very quickly so I could not even say goodbye to my team-mates."
The move is understood to be close to completion, although Pavlyuchenko's arrival would have no impact either way on Dimitar Berbatov's future at White Hart Lane.
Spurs are short on strikers even if the Bulgarian does not complete a move to Manchester United before the transfer window closes on Monday.
Pavlyuchenko revealed any reservations he held about the switch to White Hart Lane had faded.
"The only thing that stopped me from leaving was my family," he said.
"But now all doubts are behind me and I decided to sign a contract with Tottenham and the formalities are practically settled."
Spartak's general manager Valery Karpin admitted Spurs' offer had been accepted by the Russian club.
"There is a concrete sum which Tottenham proposed and we have agreed the amount," he told the Soviet Sport newspaper.
"If Roman will agree a contract then we are ready to let go him go. If Roman begins to play in England, this will be good both for him and for the team."
Fergie might spring a surprise. Levy the Tool needs to calm down and conduct the deal otherwise he will be forced to stay with an unhappy,unmotivated and non committed superstar whom he may be forced to flog in January or next summer for a fraction of what we are offering.
I believe SAF is also exploring other options.

this happened with ronaldinho and robben...
No they are not. They are fighting to get the best possible price for their best player. They are doing nothing wrong. It is us who are squabbling over a few petty million which we could quite easily make back.
Imagine the WANKFEST if its was announced that we were signing BENZEMA. Same happened a few seasons ago with MARCOS and we signed Carrick out of the blue.
Not interested in Huntelar or Silva.

Berbatov annoyed by transfer talk
Tottenham Hotspur striker Dimitar Berbatov has admitted that transfer speculation over his future at White Hart Lane is starting to affect him.
Berbatov, 26, has been linked with Manchester United and Chelsea in the January transfer window, with Spurs placing a £30m price tag on his head.
But the Bulgarian said: "It's getting absurd and I'm fed up of seeing my name in the papers all the time. "I wish the press would leave me alone. I just want to play my game." I'm happy at the moment, we'll see what will happen'
He added: "It's obvious that the speculation will continue to the end. But the worst thing is that I see 'my' quotes which I've never said and it's something that makes me feel bad."
Berbatov has 13 goals this season and is reportedly attracting interest from Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge. Spurs have placed a British transfer record fee on his head and Berbatov feels it is an unrealistic price tag for his services. He also feels that Spurs, under new manager Juande Ramos, can bring trophies to White Hart Lane.
"Such hysteria seems to me stupid, I'm not worth so much money," said the former Bayer Leverkusen striker. "I'm happy at the moment, we'll see what will happen. I know I can win trophies with Spurs. "We are working to correct our mistakes and I think Juande Ramos is the man who can change things. "He's very good as a man and as an expert, he can see details which are hidden from other people's view."
Whatever can have happened to cause this?
OMG im sure the last paragreaph was something he said about 6 months ago.

And that would be consistent with my explanation in the post that it indeed was from, in fact, seven months ago...

We now very close with mancs, 26m with further 2 add ons, 15m downpayment, with further balance over two years.
Arshavin's team in discussions to bring him over, and we are now prepared to go higher. Very, very, very interesting developments over our choice of strikers all wanting to come desperately. We signed , or close to Pava with the confidence on developments with mancs, as we need targetman. If goalpost don't move, expect Arshavin, if does, striker from list of three I mentioned many a time.
CH/DM 100 sorted I'm told... plus a loan transfer.
My view on this is 'treat with caution.
PS: ITK/NITK can very seriously damage your health.
I haven't heard that saying in 15 years. Classic
