Football (Soccer)

If it's an actual offer to the club I don't see the fuss. If the player is that likely to want to leave then it's on the brink already. It's not like clubs don't hawk players around while they're under contract.

One club wants to take another club's player. Big deal.

I don't really see why saying in the press that he's made an offer is any worse than...making an offer. Unless it's because Spurs wanted to pretend Utd weren't interested in the hope Berbatov would think he had no chance of leaving.

He said he'd made an offer (that wasn't accepted), and then went on to name the player, state that he thinks he'll arrive in time for the new season, and says what a good addition he'd be to the club.

The fact that Man Utd want to buy Berbatov isn't the big deal; it's the fact that Ferguson had such a tantrum about Real Madrid talking about wanting to sign Ronaldo - to the point of reporting the case to Fifa/UEFA/Whatever - but then does exactly the same thing about a player they want to buy.

Yeah, well it's nothing that isn't said about any prospective deal, it's just that he said it personally rather than leaking it to a third party.

If we're arguing that he's a hypocritical mug, I agree. He's always acted like Man Utd are above the law.

Yeah, that mug thing.

what are the actual rules concerning this, isn´t a club allowed to name the player they are attempting to buy?

Well, you can't speak to or approach a player without a club's permission. So I guess it seems like an indirect 'approach'. BS really, as it always comes out in the papers anyway.

It's just that he's been recently moaning about it, so it makes him seem foolish. I guess he is thinking if they have to put up with it then they might as well blatantly do it.

Rumours are that Bentley has flown back from his training camp with Blackburn to sign for Spurs... here's hoping.
I still think we need a defensive midfielder though, unless he's going to play Jenas and Modric as 2 box-to-box midfielders... but i'd prefer we didnt play Jenas lol.

I think Ramos must have plans for Huddlestone in the DM position, otherwise I don't understand why we haven't got anyone in to fill it.

I can't see a midfield of Dos Santos, Jenas, Modric, Bentley working, especially as we'd have Bale and Hutton down the flanks, too. Although, if he's planning on only playing one up-front, then maybe it could work.

I'm most definitely excited for the new season.

I just hope for the minimal of glaring refereeing errors this time, regardless of who it's for or against, because it's shit. Except Liverpool, I'd like to see them win games by playing better.

*Insert antagonistic smilies*

-AC

Oh I think with thier European nations Cup winning super striker, who showed how to score in important games, and was the leagues second best goalscorer, if they played better they´d run away with the title🙂

I´d like to see some other team doing well and comming amongst the top four for a change, Spurs have the potential if thier new team meshes well imo.

Haha, yeah...I'm sure it was just a simple misunderstanding. Haha...

confusing stuff eh, why didn´t Fergy just say he didn´t do anything🙂

Or maybe they got the Scandenavian supporters club to just say that to get his head out of the noose
