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.

This remembers me what Kenyon did with Ronaldinho!!!!
 
City's three year plan:

2009 - Finish top four
2010 - Win the EPL
2011 - Win the CL

ROFLMAO.....seriously flawed plan, they will not even make the top four this year.

anything about now said:
The media having a field day with this. Somehow I think Fergie has already sorted out the negotiations with Spurs, and is now just finalizing the personal terms. Hughes' comments were strange as well, he's spending time talking to the press rather than to Dimitar.

Letting Saha go was probably the biggest spoiler of all. There's no way Fergie would be content with just Manucho and Campbell as his backup strikers. At least with Saha last season there was still a hope that he could get fit and play half a dozen games.

I could be wrong though but I think Fergie has got this wrapped up.

That's the way I'm seeing it too.

The City bid being Tottenham's attempt to try and force United's hand and up the price tag a bit. They and City both know it's a non starter.

Mark Hughes getting involved is disappointing, but then, he's a complete twat, so it's not really surprising.

SSN - TOTTENHAM HAVE NOT GIVEN MANCHESTER UNITED PERMISSION TO TALK TO BERBATOV


:mad:
 
Why is it saying that Spurs havent given us permission to speak to him on SSN?
 
Fat cnut on Sky stirring things up.

Claims United DO NOT have permission to speak to Berbatov.
 
Today is a classic example of 'truth' being stranger than fiction.


If a WUM had posted that an Arab consortium had taken over City and launched a 30m+ bid for Berba which had been accepted, no-one would have believed it for a second...
 
Levy will start moaning about 'tapping up' now, before returning to his office and applying shoe polish to his head.
 
Is this an official statement from Spurs or just speculations, if its true Fergie will cut Gill's balls off.
 
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
 
:lol:

Levy's just PRAYING that Berbatov will go to City, but if we've already seen him there's no contest.

Now Madrid are out of the picture its United VS City and we win.
 
Its bullshit boys

This was from the same guy that said Real Madrid were ready to bid £38 million for Berbatov.

I doubt we'd do shoddy business
