The transfer saga continues



What a bloody joke. The Ronaldo transfer rolls on, Ferguson says he would be stupid to move to Real Madrid, Tevez says he should go. But the funniest thing in this whole affair is that Man Utd cannot practice what they preach. After complaining to FIFA that Real Madrid where putting undue media pressure on Ronaldo moving to them, they go and do exactly the same thing as Real did to them and circulate a story in the press that Berbatov is coming to them from Spurs.

Tottenham have submitted a year's worth of evidence to the Premier League to support their complaint over Manchester United's pursuit of Dimitar Berbatov. A newspaper report quoting United boss Sir Alex Ferguson as saying he expected to sign the striker is understood to be only one of Spurs' concerns. Ferguson denies making the comments, but the Londoners believe United have broken Premier League rules. Spurs have also reported Liverpool for their public courting of Robbie Keane.

Ferguson denied the reports, saying: "I don't know where they got those quotes from, it wasn't from me. "It's going to be very embarrassing for Spurs because the complaint appears to be on the basis of a story in a paper."

Personally if Man U are interested and Berbatov wants to leave I say let him. The guy was half the player he was in his first season and certainly if he is forced to stay another season he will be equally ineffective. Why not sell him now and get more than his market value for him?
