Finally....We have signed Berbatov | City "snatch" Robinho
Well...finally we signed him. the transfer that we have waited for about 3 months for this news to come. Along with Ronaldo saying he wanted to move out and Berbatov wanting to come in, it gave me enough reasons to read almost all English paper's online editions, blogs, and numerous sites about United. Every day went by with much anticipation and expectation about the deals.
But now everything has been settled. Ronaldo has agreed to stay at least for one more season. Well staying on Ronaldo, reports have come that he may well be playing for United by the end of this month. This definitely is a great news for us. Ronaldo will still be a key player for us and we hope that he gives us his best.
Now moving onto the biggest news. Dimitar Berbatov has finally signed for United. But this was not before Manchester City who were taken over by Abu Dhabi United Group who have more funds than Roman Abramovich. City had their bid of about £34.2m for the Bulgarian striker accepted by Spurs but Berbatov reports has it that did not talk to any one from the Blues.
Berbatov was at Old Trafford talking to David Gill and sir Alex Ferguson. Some have also said that City could have snatched Berbatov away from United with such a huge bid, but it was all proved wrong when Berbatov finally signed for United.
But another great news for us is that City did manage to snatch a player from right under cheslea's noses. They had the Brazillian Robinho for something in the range of £32m. The player was reported to be going to Stamford Bridge, but at the last minute, City got him and left Chelsea and Peter Kenyon shell shocked. Its been said that had it not been for their clumsy handling of the deal, Chelsea could have had Robinho playing for them.

Somethings i have not written about..
Firstly let me apologize for not writing for sometime now. I was rather unwell.
In the mean time we managed to beat Portsmouth by a lone goal thanks to Darren Fletcher, who has scored in both of United's matches.
In another match, this time in Europe we were playing Zenit St. Petersburg for the Super Cup. We should have won this one but we were miles away from the football that the Reds are known for. And as a result we lost the game 2-1. And to add insult to injury Scholes got sent off for picking up his second yellow card of the game when he tried to do a 'Maradona'. Now that he will be missing champions league matches, this doesnt seem to be good news for United.
With Berbatov deal done and dusted we hope that he settles in quickly and we can play our best side against Liverpool on 13th this month.

United 1-1 Barcodes | Where is Berbatov???
United drew with barcodes at Old Trafford to kick off their season in similar style as they did the last time around except that this time it was a 1-1 draw while last season started off with a 0-0 draw to Reading. Not a great start when all your major rivals Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool have won.
It is one thing that only Chelsea looked of some threat. Arsenal had the lead in the 5th minute but never went for the kill. Liverpool dint deserve to win as they were easily the second best.
United might have started off well with some crisp passes but it just dint last long enough. Frazier had a great chance to score but his header just met the head of Newcastle goalie Shay Given and went to safety. Frazier had a couple of chances again but Given made 2 more saves to deny the youngster any goals.
Meanwhile Rooney huffed and puffed but with no avail. He was seriously out of sorts. One minute he was looking great and the very next he was very ordinary.To add insult to injury he went out to wish Newcastle's Argentinians luck when he flew in on Jonas Gutierrez, made a jump-tackle on Coloccini and was later booked for Dissent. Seems that he forgot to read the new 'Respect' thingy. He will have to have a measure of his temper if he has to avoid some early showers this season.
United's need for strikers was clearly visible. A young, raw and highly inexperienced Frazier Campbell was probably the best except that it was Fletcher who scored. Rooney was out of sorts, very patchy and unlike himself. Has he forgotten his way to goal?? Carlos Tevez had to rush to Argentina as his uncle had died and this made the attacking very fragile. Had it been Tevez instead of Campbell, he would have been applauded for his efforts while every one seems to be pointing fingers at young Campbell. He is still very inexperienced and with time he will only improve so there is no need to be too harsh on the lad.
The lack of attacking prowess will have only made Berbatov's move to Old Trafford more likely. He was not in the starting XI against 'Boro and was substituted later on and looked good. So far there has been little in the press about the deal but his agent Emil Dantchev has said "I think this will be the most important week,I read Alex Ferguson’s statement that he wants another striker and I hope that this striker is Dimitar Berbatov."
Newcastle were kept i the game by given who had pulled of quite a few saves(wish he din run out of saves for the rest of season as he seems to have made all out here..lol) but soon they took the lead through Martins who headed in from a corner. Fletcher had failed to track his man, allowing Martins the space required and he din disappoint. But Fletcher sort of made up for that scoring the equalizer. Newcastle were for shortly down to 10 men as Taylor needing attention to a minor knock, and the champions went on the attack.Giggs angled in a ball that Fletcher, reacting superbly, turned past Given.
As all the fans waited for more goals to come, Newcastle stood firm.Given thwarted Campbell twice. Then the bar rescued Newcastle, as Nemanja Vidic powered in a header. Rooney bent a free-kick wide in the last minute.Someone better get that Berbatov deal done.

United close to signing Berba| Spurs told to show proof| Terry's crap
Manchester United are close on signing Dimitar Berbatov from Totenham Hotspurs. Spurs have also lodged a formal complaint against United tp the Premier League saying that United are "tapping" Berbatov. Well Levy has gone on to tell the 3 man delegation that United's intrest in Berbatov is "a blatant example of sheer arrogance and interference."
But the 3 men bench has asked Spurs to get some concrete evidence against united within 3 weeks before they dismiss the case. Berbatov has been for long wishing to come to Old Trafford. But the price tag that has been put up on him by Levy has made it difficult for him to make his "dream" move. The Champions League action that he missed @ White Hart Lane has made him consider moving to Old Trafford.
But seems like Spurs were furious that the 3 men delegation had not given United any warning or found them guilty of "tapping" up Berbatov. But they have forgotten that this is MANCHESTER UNITED not that REAL MADRID who does things like this..there was no way Spurs could have gotten the verdict in their favour..
Papers report that Levy wants to bend United to their terms making United pay a BRITISH RECORD £32m for Berbatov. That would represent an £18m profit on the player they signed from Bayer Leverkusen in 2006 and has scored 23 goals in each of his 2 seasons.
Now another news that John Terry has said that United have peeked and they wont have another level to go to..and that Chelsea is ready to up the level with some new players.. Joking are you???
