The FA are trying their best to stop the Berba transfer so that there is lesser chance of United equalling Liverpool's record.

We've got forever to do that. No chance of Liverpool ever improving on it, especially under Benitez.
Right ive finally given up completely on this. there is a 0% chance of him arriving now. we wont be sighning anyone else either.
Its over were signing no one. while chelsea have sighned bosingwa, deco and robinho. and have employed one of the best managers in the world too. expect to see giggs up front at some point this season when our striker injuries mount up and they will. im not sure if we can compete with the power of chelseas squad.
One top class striker and wed be fine though.

lol!
to be fair i cant stand the site of having to rely on giggs upfront though.
It is not all doom and gloom though if we dont get him, we will just need rooney and tevez to take more of a goal burden as well as some other players.

SAF, where's the Berbatov? feck!
Kluivert was shite since left Ajax.
This thread has become very miserably.
He had a couple of very good seasons at Barca if I remember rightly.
I agree. Life isn’t worth living anymore. I suggest we all sign a Bridge End-esque suicide pact and end our misery.
Can I bring about some realism to the thread?

What's your obsession with words beginning in "W"?
Apparently Real are interested.
They have the money to pay as much as they have and not sell Berbatov.
Double You
hes not signing, not now nor ever, this i promise
If they bring in Arshavin, Velso and Pav that's at least £40m. They do not have that kind of money seriously. They have always banked on the Berbatov money and will be wanting at least £25m which covers quite a bit of their spending.
Fact is they have to sell just for the fact that the fans, players and board dislike Berbatov now. Keeping him would be detrimental to the squad, which when you're spending so much is non-sensical.
He's coming in the next few days. It's just depends on who blinks firsts. I think it will be them. Under £30m definately.
Fergie said in pre match conference he wont sign any players this transfer window according to someone from other forum
Exactly, they need Berbatov for future buys. But you said "Tottenham WILL NOT expend as much as they have without getting income" which is in the past tense.
Arshavin would only be a replacement for Berbatov, they could buy Pavlyuchenko without selling him. They won't be buying Veloso.
It's good we dont pay £32M that Spurs wants. £32M for a 27 year old is madness.
Levy......
Levy......
if he said that it'd be on the radio and on ssn......probably someone having a 'laff'..
It would have been breaking news already... Even if he did say it i would still expect Berbatov by Monday!!
No Veloso, Arshavin and Huntelaar for Spurs then.
Why have there been no "leaked " stories about us contacting clubs about there strikers which Fergie can "not comment" about. If the Henry thing was our best ploy then it's a sad state of affairs. Even if we enquired about a player it would get heard about, we don't even need to be serious. Unsettle Spurs.
bbc ticker saying fergie less optimistic on berba..
Something tells me Fergie wouldn't have any problem calling Spurs bluff and letting Berbatove fester in the Spurs reserves until Christmas (cunningly sitting out all the UEFA Cup games) before we take him off their hands in the New Year - for a knock-down price - fresh and raring to go for the business end of the season.
Might not be ideal but would be very satisfying to leave Levy to stew on his mis-handling of the whole situation for another few months

Whats new....
Has that ever happened in top-flight football? I know it's often mooted by managers, but I just can't see it happening, especially in this case. If the transfer falls through, Berbatov will end up in a similar position to Gareth Barry (or Cristiano Ronaldo) and realise it's better to cut his losses and play... Spurs would be idiots not to play him...Something tells me Fergie wouldn't have any problem calling Spurs bluff and letting Berbatove fester in the Spurs reserves until Christmas (cunningly sitting out all the UEFA Cup games) before we take him off their hands in the New Year - for a knock-down price - fresh and raring to go for the business end of the season.

Yes but our title chance may have hit the rocks come Christmas. Chelsea are strong and we cannot afford to give them any ground at all. We must sign a striker now!
feck, that's horrible...
I don't think he would play in their reserves but I would predict a dip in form that made the beginning of last season seem like a walk in the park. They might not force him to play in the reserves but I don't reckon his performances will merit a place in the first team.
He might knuckle down eventually but not before Spurs season has gone tits up. Yet again.
