I haven't seen this one spotted so far - from SSN transfer clockwatch. If true it would appear that City are simply on a massive last-day WUM;

18.23 According to Radio Marca in Spain, Manchester City have now made a bid for Real Madrid striker Robinho, who has asked to be allowed to join Chelsea. Reports also suggest Real will make one last bid to sign David Villa, who is also wanted by City, from Valencia. If Real sign Villa, then Robinho could be allowed to leave.

Very good piece of business by Arsenal. Veloso is exactly the player they need; a disciplined holding midfielder to support Fabregas, but one who's more than capable of some classy football of his own.

How much?
 
Cool. Some footage of Berbatov coming out of his medical and into a black car. No more than that so far but the SSN team seem to think it's really looking like United have him

MUPPET SUICIDE WATCH

2 hours 40 minutes to doom


Elisha Cuthbert has run off with James Bond so Jack Bauer can concentrate fully. It's not looking good though. Could Jack be heading for failure for the first time? Will the bad guys win?

Reds push ahead in Berbatov race

MANCHESTER United got ready to burn the midnight oil to ensure their pursuit of Dimitar Berbatov eventually ended in success.

While it was still not exactly clear what permission United had from Tottenham to pursue the striker, they were happy enough to show Berbatov around their Carrington training complex before he underwent a medical.

In the meantime chief executive David Gill, manager Sir Alex Ferguson and legal expert Maurice Watkins attempted to find a way to bridge a £5million gap in their offer compared to Tottenham’s asking price.

And, although the minutes were continuing to tick down, an agreement was expected at some point before the deadline actually expired.

What is certain is that Manchester City, whose prospective new owners - the Abu Dhabi United Group for Development and Investment - are eager to flex their financial muscle and have no such problems as United in matching Spurs’ asking price.

Spurs have already accepted their £30million offer and the Blues are still hoping to pip their city rivals to the post.

“I am as stunned and excited by this as the fans are,” City boss Mark Hughes told Sky Sports, barely able to take in events of such a tumultuous day himself as he took part in a charity golf day.

High-ranking City officials were not expecting the takeover, let alone bids for Berbatov and David Villa when the day began, so further surprises are possible and prospective new City owner Sulaiman Al-Fahim said: “I am hopeful about Berbatov, but I need to speak to our colleagues in England to see what the latest is.

“We have bids in for three players. There is Berbatov, but there is also David Villa and Mario Gomez. We have bids in for Villa and Gomez and I am waiting to hear whether we have been successful with those (offers).

“Funds are available, and transfers such as these show we are serious.”

Berbatov has done his medical.
Spurs have given him permission to talk to United, However Spurs have NOT agreed on any fee except City's.

If Spurs and United dont sort this out tonight, then its in the hands of the lawyers and the Courts!!!!! and that is fact!!!

But no fee yet agreed with Spurs.

I have seen on SSN the medical being passed with video footage, but where are you getting your "4 year deal signed" from ?

How did we find this out?

I've been out all evening and can't be arsed wasting AGES waiting for all the past pages to load. If someone's in a charitable mood, a quick summary would be massively appreciated.

Last I heard we weren't even allowed to talk to the cnut :confused:

Ignore pretty much everything posted here at the moment. The smart thing to do would be to log in at about 11.50pm. If this deal is going to happen then it's going to go right to the wire.

(And aren't you lucky you didn't take up my bet that this would all go the last hour of the window? ;))
 
If we haven't had a bid accepted and have given Berbatov a medical are we not going to be facing an enormous shit storm

T2000 is actually one of the very few people who post on this site who has ANY inside knoweldge whatsoever. If the rest of you weren't so obsessed with parroting every rumour on SSN this site might actually work and you might be able to gather what is actually going on. ;)
 
I'm sensing we might be staring relegation in the face here, guys.

Levy's going to come the cnut over this 'no permission' shit. Based on the 3-point suspended sentence Chelsea got, if it's United, then prepare yourselves for League 1 football and a couple of years ban in Europe

Further to my quoted post I've looked at the Marca site and here is their report which I've translated:

'In other news a new player has appeared in the 'Robinho saga'. Manchester City have unexpectedly entered the struggle by attempting to sign the Brazilian and to snatch him from Chelsea. The new owners of City have entered with force and willing to burst the market. Exactly that possible ending of the 'case of Robinho' revives the 'Operation David Villa''.
