I heard someone saying that they were going to try and scupper the Berbatov deal - but I thought that they were joking. I also heard that they had put in a bid for David Villa but I guess that might be bollocks.

The Berbatov bid has been officially confirmed. You can find this on the BBC


"Sorry to burst the bubble of Man City fans but they're not going to get David Villa, he just signed a contract extension at Valencia when he had the chance to go to Real Madrid."

They're also quoting rumours (coming from someone's Mum) that a limo has been ordered to take a Mr Benzema from MCR airport to Old Trafford. Is he the new Zidane Pt 99?

This was on the Guardian 40 mmins ago

Mark Hughes has reportedly confirmed that City's bid for Dimitar Berbatov is genuine, and says that he is set to meet the broody Bulgarian for talks later today.

Oh, and Utd have sold Saha to Everton. Does that mean a lot of 1st team footy for that Campbell kid if they can't line someone else up inn the next 8 hours?

Love this from the guardian's emails

A selection: "If Berbatov were to go to Man City, would this just not prove that he is clearly not the committed type of footballer Man Utd need?" (Stewart Airey)

What was it about the famously sulky footballer with a rep for refusing to play that made you doubt his commitment?

The BBC report is just brilliant. It consists of nothing more than rumoured sightings of players with people other than their managers, boarding planes to cities where they've no known business etc, peppered with the occasional official annpuncement. Berzema's on his way to Utd via Easy Jet!

They've been doing it for a while. A friend of mine (by which I by no means mean me) got a comment on the Guardian one a few years ago, the year Tevez and Maschearano ended up at West Ham.

Berbatov has now been seen at Utd's training ground, they say. So maybe all Hughes has done is funnel an extra £5m from Glazers to Spurs. My this is fun.

I got one on The Guardian's when they invited nominations for most overrated film, band and sex symbol. My choices of Apocalypse Now, Stone Roses and Kylie were met with "something tells me we wouldn't get on".

As a spurs fan I am loving this - the bloke cannot stay with us after all his petulent behaviour, so we might as well screw as much money out of the deal - the idea that he might have to go to Man City as they have outbid everyone else is screamingly funny - surely not what Berbs was hoping for when he made it clear he wanted a 'bigger' club.

But if Man Yoo refuse to up their bid sufficiently and spurs refuse to sell to them when they've got a massively bigger bid on the table from City, and Berbs refuses to go to City cos they're not in the CL, then the result is... he stays with you :p
