The Summer Transfer Thread

[Adam]

If it is, why havent Spurs given him permission to speak to them yet?

Im just confused now. And a bit disappointed that the Rovers have signed nobody. I was holding out for another striker to come in, and for Heffernan to leave.

[Baddar]

Lol, just saw the pictures from SSN.

I loved how Fergie was rushing along the corridor as Berba was taking his time, slowly strolling along behind him.

[lanky316]

Evidently we have now. They must have met the 30 million after other bids were accepted.

First mention of Owen today, though it's a standard X was at Y today by the look of it.

They obviously have, that, or Man United are seriously gonna be in the shit with the FA.

2104: This won't surprise you in the least, but I'm getting wind of an enormous bust-up over the signing of Tottenham's Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov. It probably revolves around Manchester United taking him though a medical, even though Spurs haven't allowed United to speak to him yet. This one is about to get brutal.

I'll say again...

I'd be very surprised if Ferguson has taken Berbatov for a medical and began discussing terms without Spurs' permission to do so. If he was going to do that, 1) It wouldn't have happened on deadline day, and 2) I don't think he would've been taken to Carrington, where the media were probably waiting by 7 this morning for Berbatov to arrive.

Not Premier League or breaking news but still interesting while we wait for the big news...

"Chievo Verona have pulled off a huge coup by landing Brazilian sensation Kerlon. "

"Nikola Zigic has shunned a transfer to England and completed a loan move back to Racing Santander. "

Both SSN. Zigic was wanted by six English teams apparently.

[King Ellis]

I'm suprised Man City didn't sign Kerlon, perrenial FM'ers that they are.

Another deal gone through:

2154: ANOTHER REAL-LIFE PREMIER LEAGUE SIGNING

Carlo Nash has left Wigan Athletic to sign for Everton. Now I don't mean to be rude, but I'm guessing he's not the signing Toffees fans were hoping for?

[King Ellis]

SSN says 40m euros, something like £32.5m for Robinho to Man City! FUUUUUUU Chelsea.

[Baddar]

Man City have had a 40m Euro bid accepted for Robinho according to YOSS.

EDIT: Ellis beat me.

I believe Robinho is penned in to join Man City Team C who will of course be competing in the exclusive Man City 20-team league.

Nash is mint. Went to the same school as him.

I for one welcome our new Manchester City overlords.

Well in all fairness we could probably buy the whole league now.

[lanky316]

I played with Darren Bent doesn't mean he's mint. Though if he can link with Lampard every week

Good article from The Times about the Man City takeover. Essentially what they're saying is that they want Manchester City to be a major flagship of the Abu Dhabi 'brand'. And from Liverpool's point of view, it could be the move that pushes Dubai's efforts to buy Liverpool into overdrive - and if not Liverpool then I wouldn't be surprised to see a Dubai-based team purchase a Premiership team.

[ZJ Penn]

Sky Sports News is going reet slow for me. Anyone got any good sites on the go other than that and BBC?

Man City should sign Abou Diaby.

Well he is a good keeper, but I meant mint as in a decent lad. >_>

Setanta is reporting that Campbell could be going to Spurs as part of the Berbatov deal.
