From Cristiano Ronaldo to Gareth Barry to Emmanuel Adebayor to Dimitar Berbatov, I for one have been frustrated by this summer's transfer sagas.
However, it appears Dimitar Berbatov's stop-start move to Manchester United is nearing an end after Sir Alex Ferguson claimed he was going to land a striker within August.
David Villa looks set to stay at Valencia like David Silva, who said no to the European Champions. Klaas Jan Huntelaar is not on Sir Alex's current wish list which means look no further then the Bulgarian himself.
Dimitar Berbatov was left on Tottenham's bench in Saturday's clash against Middlesborough, adding fuel to fire that the Bulgarian was close on completing a move to the Red Devils after handing in a formal transfer request on Thursday.
I was going through a number of the British Tabloids and quite a few of them including the Sunday Express, The People, the Sunday Mirror and the Telegraph quote "Dimitar Berbatov's move to Manchester United will certainly be completed within the week."
Interestingly enough, quite a few tabloids also suggest that they are not after Arshavin anymore which means if Berbatov leaves, Spurs will be left with Darren Bent and Giovanni Dos Santos as their only forwards.
Can anybody see more twists and turns in this transfer saga?

it does seem likely we will get berbatov after all. tottenham was preparing for life after berbatov when he was dropped from starting the middlesborough game. however, wat worries me is the fact that fergie insists on having berbatov, 27, even though huntelaar, 23, is in the frame. i think fergie is preparing for his great final 3 years before retiring and what a timing that is. in 3 years time our team would have peaked and need to rebuild as berbatov (assuming he is here), vidic, hargreaves, carrick, evra reach 30s and ferdinand at 33 y/o! i dun feel like fergie is looking to build man utd further than the 3 years he has in mind. bear in mind that da silva were signed 2 years ago, nani and anderson although last year, they were before he made his decision this summer. otherwise i cant think of reason we are not even sniffing at huntelaar who openly professed his preference for old trafford (we usually sign players that publicly want us eg smith, hargreaves, carrick, ferdinand).
anyway, another twiss. maybe berbatov not coming after all. just like real chased only ronaldo for whole summer and eventually missed out on making other signings (they did however sign van der vaart), we may well have chased only berbatov for whole summer and eventually missed out on signing any! berbatov is superb but there are alternatives.

How much? At 28 mil, his over priced - I don't think he's worth anywhere near that much.

Well United showed today they need another striker. Then again Tevez couldn't play so that was a big part of it. Either way, I'd still like to see Berbatov come.
