Berbatov At Carrington With Ferguson… But Real Madrid Bid £36.5 million
The latest reports are now saying that Dimitar Berbatov was driven to our Carrington training ground and is in talks with Sir Alex Ferguson, after the manager himself went to pick him up. Excitement around the red side of Manchester mounted, until a bulletin on Sky Sports News announced that Real Madrid were bidding a whopping £36.5 million for the player. Desperate for a big signing and probably eager to get one over on the club that denied them Cristiano Ronaldo, the Spanish club are doing all they can to throw a spanner in the works for us.
Mark Hughes confirmed that the offer they had put in for Berbatov was a British transfer record, meaning we were are looking at something around the £33 million mark. If this bid is accepted, then it will still be down to Berbatov which club he plays for, even though Real Madrid have offered more.
Of course though, this will be testing times for Ferguson’s negotiation skills. Real Madrid are obviously a massive club, but the fact that they haven’t been able to secure any of their transfer targets this season, as well as Robinho desperately wanting out of the club, indicates life isn’t so rosy at the Bernabeu. However, making Berbatov aware of that is what will be important.
The news must reach Ferguson of Real Madrid’s bid before he allows the player to leave Carrington. It is rare for a player to meet with Ferguson and then decide against a move to United. Whilst explaining to Berbatov all the privileges that come with being a United player, as well as the trophies he can win, he’ll have been discussing reasons against signing for City. He now has Real Madrid to contend with as well.
Essentially, if Manchester United are willing to match the bid City have already had accepted, and Berbatov is as keen to sign for us as he makes out, then by the end of the day he will be a United player. But we can’t rule his head getting turned by Real Madrid, as has happened with so many players before.
edit. 5pm. After an hour and a half of talks, Ferguson has left Carrington.

O'Shea plans United stay
Irishman not interested in leaving Old Trafford

Berbatov Debut Specials - Man City
John OShea Manchester United
John O'Shea has insisted that he is happy to remain at Manchester United and fight for his place in the side.
The versatile Irishman has been in and out of Sir Alex Ferguson's team in recent seasons and has been linked with a move away from the club.
However, O'Shea is not paying any attention to possible interest from elsewhere as he has no plans to leave Old Trafford.
"I'll be here hopefully as long as the manager wants me," he told United's official website.
"That'll be the case for me. It's a squad game and who's to say that if I went to a different team it wouldn't be the same."
O'Shea accepts that competition for places at United is fierce but he hopes to give Ferguson a selection headache when he next gets a chance to impress.
He believes the challenge of breaking into the starting XI is something to relish, adding: "I'm at Manchester United and I'm happy doing what I do.
"It's a case of when I get the chance I've got to make sure I give the manager a difficult choice to leave me out of the team."

There is a storm brewing on the caf and it's going to be worse than Hurrican Gustav
"JUST SIGN HIM!!!!"
WTF is going on?
So have they finished the meeting at carrington? what was the fecking outcome. surely we should know real soon.
Hope the madrid interest is false. the caf is painfully slow right now.

In Rafa We Trust.
They're interested then.
Ah, what a depressing article from republic of mancunia... Real Madrid - massive club, City - always will be a massive club... I'm afraid that we are battling with the Titans 
fecking city panic shopping at the city fan at talksport."We're coming, be aware"
We'll sign him
It occurs to that this could well be one of the funniest things ever. Suppose we already had an agreement with Spurs but it was not confirmed because of Spurs desire to get in other players or indeed Saha going out from United.
We could actually have a 25-28m agreement with Spurs and whilst Madrid or City have had 36m offers accepted the likelihood is that Berbatov would choose us given his recent stance.
So Spurs sell Berbatov to us for what actually turns out to be the lowest fee offered.
That would piss Levy off, I'd wee myself

Guillem - Also claimed the Ronaldo deal was finalised an incredible 4 times this transfer window. Ie, whatever he reports is a pile of wank.
BBC
LMAO..yeah..i just heard that city fan on talksport..Mental fellow.
1718: "Berbatov's missus (who is well fit) has just told Bulgarian TV he wants to win the Champions League this season. This would seem to rule out City."

SSN: Madrid have now confirmed interest in Berba (contrary to Balague's report that they didnt want him) - however, no bid has yet to be made. Unclear if a bid will follow.
Real Madrid have not made an offer, and they are not interested in Berbatov.
This must be a record. It's taken our board so long to sort out a transfer that in the meantime Man City have actually become massive.
torres hammy tear confirmed .. things looking up
Feckin hell!!
This thread is a classic, keep it going.

Most entertaining saga ever... I don't really mind either way but it is hillarious.

1721: It's time I re-introduced you lot to Pearlo, who has very good contacts at Spurs - I only ever talk to him on deadline days, but you'll see why over the course of the evening. He's just texted in to say: "I've heard a decent rumour that Andrei Arshavin to Spurs will still happen." So there.

He'll come to us. He has said he has wanted to - hes been to carrington, met fergie and the coaching staff.
Real madrid and City will end up with a huge stiffy for now reason.
Also, any news on Benzema? Loads of talk he was in Manc today.
You would think a war was going to start with all the hysteria
I just hope Campbell is not included in the Beratov deal.
they should do away with the transfer window and just do all the transfers in one day- today has been mental! and I wont be happy until I see a striker holding up a united shirt!
Any offer by Madrid in my opinion is there to create trouble for United in light of the Ronaldo Saga.. Kick a man when he is down and all that
City in for Villa and Gomez now
Funniest shit, ever.
Funniest shit, ever.
so, has he signed with United yet?
Let go of Bebratov or else you shall be killed.
