Out of 448 attempts, it's good to know at least one of 'em was good!

It's catching up on the Ronaldo thread..

Now, for how long I ask?

It may have just been in, out , and off to Manchester.

Whoever told SSN may have said he was there, but wasn't, just to keep things quiet.

Is that radio report genuine that he is having a medical, or is it just another windup?

It would be another case of third-party ownership of sorts.

Seconded.

I should try to call and talk on Serbian language... and I hope someone would propably say "Aaahh, another call from the bulgarian press"

Yes, I think he either will or won't too.

Don't read anything into the released squad numbers.

If/When Saha is sold, the No.9 will be freed.

To be honest, I really don't care what number he gets aslong as he's signed.

Failing that he may sign tomorrow or on the pitch on Sunday but there's always the possiblity that he won't do either.

Football management is about tweaking the team, making it better year after year.

This year SAF has identified (pretty obviously) that an additional centre forward is needed to make the team grow and allow us to better our achievements of last season.

I for one am extremely excited by the prospect of Berbatov signing. If that makes me a muppet so be it but Transfers > Trophies

TomCat · 15th August 2008, 16:18

I'm not worried about whether we have him to play tomorrow or not. If we can't beat a Newcastle squad that might be without some of the their most important players, as is, then I don't think one Berbatov would make a difference for 1 game either (and I'm not bashing Berba here). If he comes on Monday or some time next week, that's fine with me too...as long as they just get him.

3) Such players cannot be had for ten bob.

4) Failing to complete the team because of an unwillingness to pay the market rate for the required component sits very comfortably with the old adage about spoiling the ship for a hap'orth of tar.

5) The willingness to pay £15-20M for a journeyman player would, in fact, represent a genuine squandering of resources.

6) You are a muppet.

Another poster with common sense.

I'd be more concerned about him playing Sunday than tomorrow.

Well, he will probably get No.14, the only alternative was Ole's famous No.20, but Fabio took that...

Congrats mate. Can you do a Bahama in the Ronaldo thread and surpass the 1k mark?

Berbatov 9 · 15th August 2008, 16:24

Well guys, there was no medical -

He trained with the rest of the squad on Friday afternoon.

Looks like no deal today then, so will be interesting to see if he plays tomorrow.

TomCat · 15th August 2008, 16:28

Time to get Zlatan instead

Woodzy · 15th August 2008, 16:28

Rumour has it, he won't be playing tomorrow.

Well then. We can expect to see him playing tomorrow against Middlesbrough. This saga will not be over until the end of the transfer window.
