    This should get interesting over the next year or two... Chelski has been outdone, ManUres' ancestral rival could close the gap after another transfer window, and Liverpool or Arsenal could end up like Tottenham when the EPL only gets 3 CL.

    agree. was thinking when they signed robinho if these guys had got control of manchester city say 2 weeks before the transfer deadline they could have done mega signings 6 or 7 quality players in.

    As for top 4 i dont see it not unless they can get a few more players in january.

    richards and kompany in defence looks good to me aswell

    Funny money. It's quite obscene actually.

    Makes me sick to think of what good you could do with half of all the world transfers of more than $20mil and half the wages of every player making more than $2mil.

    see tbh, i still fancy man city to finish about 8th or 9th.

    unless they go on another spending spree in January, but they only have 1 class player.

    chelsea and man utd have about about 10 world class players each.

    You would have to think that City will buy big in January, after all they only had 24 hours to sign anyone yesterday. They might challenge for 4th depending on who they sign in January. Chelsea must be kicking themselves but Madrid never wanted to sell to them

    Hope Man U get hammered for talking to Berbatov before Spurs had agreed to let them to. The guy on sky sports says they should be in deep *, but because they are one of the big guns they will get away with it.

    they never.

    do you honestly think a club as big as manchester united is stupid enough to speak to a player before given persmission ?

    Berba and SAF were on sky sports news before he was apparently given permission, do you honestly believe that.

    of course the spurs chairman gave them permission, if he didn't why was no statement released about it ?

    he just wanted to look like a * to the Spurs fans by keeping his mouth shut till the last minute.

    Ok, The guy on Sky Sports is wrong, Its only his profession.

    Spurs had accepted 1 bid for Berb at the time - From the blue half!

    And its not like they have not done it before, Spurs reported them for trying to tap him up a few months aho.

    Robinho, Wright-Philips, Elano, Ireland, Jo, Johnson, Petrov, Man City don't look half bad, if they had signed a LB too they'd have a really good team on paper.

    Just glad Robinho didn't go to Chelsea but is in the Premiership.

    yes the guy on sky sports is wrong, he's just believing all the Rumours, who is it ffs ? a presenter ?

    trying to tap him up ? they also reported Liverpool for the exact same thing with keane, so why did they let him go for 20 million ? yet refused to let berbatov go for 30 million.

    clearly the chairman has a thing against man utd, if he would reject a bid of 30 million, yet accept one of 20 million.

    do you honestly think if spurs hadn't given united permission to speak to him, and they then see he's at carrington getting a medical, they wouldn't have released a statement about it ?

    and the spurs chairman is a hypocrite, because he blasted man utd and liverpool, then the next day, the sevilla president said, you done the exact same thing to get Juande Ramos from us.

    another reason to believe that its bullshit is, in order for him to be at united having talks, united would need to have put a bid in, correct ?

    so united clearly made an offer before he had talks, which leads me to believe spurs would have accepted, and kept quiet about it after all their hard man talk.

    The guy was an ex agent not a * presenter. Man U think they can do what they like, by the law of the land they should of waited till a bid was accepted. They didn't fact.

    once again, why didn't spurs release a statement then ?

    be brutally honest, if ronaldo was at madrids training ground yesterday getting a medical, without man uniteds permission, do you honestly think man utd wouldn't have said a word ?

    and explain how its a fact ?

    another vendetta against united from you, come to expect that though.

    what is it ? because we drew them ? because they have a left back ? what ?

    probably.

    why was their no statement ?

    picture this mate, you turn on sky sports news, boruc is having a medical at arsenal, celtic haven't given him permission, would celtic just stay quiet on it and let the presenters speculate ?

    or would WGS/Lawwell be on SSN exploiting arsenal ?
