Football makes ‘Sweet Dreams’ come true

childhood United fan...

You know what really stood out about the recently closed transfer window?  Not the brinksmanship, the complaints about tapping up, or even the idea of billion-dollar teams squabbling over a couple million pounds.  The one thing that really stood out to me was all the talk about “dream moves.” It seemed like every high-profile star…

Top 10 Most Expensive Football Transfers

80m for Ronaldo? Seriously?

Compared to the lion that was the summer of 2009, when we saw Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, and Zlatan Ibrahimovic move to pastures anew for a combined fee of more than £200m, it would seem appropriate to consider the 2010 summer transfer season, and for that matter, most others, a veritable lamb, unless you’re Manchester City….

Manchester United sign Berbatov as Campbell goes to Tottenham

odds on scoring 30?

Manchester United have signed Dimitar Berbatov from Tottenham Hotspur for £30.75m. Frazier Campbell is headed the other way in a 1-year loan deal (smart bit of business from United, that). The transfer was always expected to go down to the wire but Manchester City’s weekend takeover threw it in a spin with City’s new owners…

Hughes: Spurs have accepted our 30m+ offer for Berba

Manchester City manager Mark Hughes has said that Tottenham have accepted Manchester City’s last-day bid for Dimitar Berbatov.

Should Milner, Ferdinand and Berbatov be criticised for wanting to move?

Anton Ferdinand jumped ship from West Ham to Sunderland this week. James Milner turned in a transfer request at Newcastle United, presumably so Aston Villa can snap him up before the transfer window ends. Dimitar Berbatov is reported to be holding ‘crisis talks’ with Tottenham officials who themselves are waiting for Pavlyuchenko to sign (or…

What are Spurs, United and Berbatov dreaming of?

Dimitar Berbatov has taken over from Cristiano Ronaldo as the ‘big’ story of the transfer window, and last week there were a flurry of news reports claiming that Berba was ‘on his way’ to Old Trafford and would line up for the Red Devils on Sunday. All of them false – unfortunately so for Manchester…

Tottenham and Manchester United searching for Berbatov

Where is Dimitar Berbatov? According to eyewitnesses, he was last seen playing for Tottenham in their opening day defeat at the hands of Middlesbrough. However, an insider at Tottenham Hotspur (who spoke to us on the condition of anonymity) revealed that Spurs are using an ‘exact double’ for Berbatov these days because they just can’t…

Hypocrite Spurs mad at losing Champions League tickets

Update: Ferguson says he never spoke to the press about Berbatov. Tottenham Hotspur have every right to be mad. Here’s a club dead-set on playing in the Champions League – they’ve brought in one of the best managers in contemporary football, they have brought in some of the brightest young talent in Europe (Bale, Gunter,…
