And it'll take another 10 million on top of that for Arsenal to release him from his contract

If United are interested how about throwing Berba into the deal ? From what I've seen of Lucas I'd love him at OT but at that price I dunno, MASSIVE gamble. The whole "will he want to leave someday" doesn't bother me today but might someday. Having said that we made a tidy profit on Cristiano.

If he was fully motivated. Don't want another Arshavin on our hands.

If the club got a pound for every rumour that is been branded about on Twitter we be Debt Free now.

KH25

Does anyone else find it strange that we haven't really been linked with a CM in the last few days? The moutinho story seems to have died down and there hasn't even been much about Modric. I hope there's something going on at Old Trafford that the media just hasn't got a hold of yet.

Lord TSC

God love QPR, basically becoming our reserve team :P

TheTownie

Apparently two clubs are interested in Eriksen (Obviously more than two but two have stepped up their interest).

Daily Fail saying Zenit St Petersburg are the first club and have lodge a bid. Utd are the second club.

Mirror saying Eriksen will ask Marc Overmars, Ajax DoF, who the second club are as he is unaware.

Metro are regurgitating a story from Sport1, a Dutch newspaper, saying negotiations with Utd have already begun.

Not a quote in sight from anyone!

He quoted some guy on twitter who referred to Ashley Cole as a 'choc ice'. Rio says that it wasn't a racist term and that its a way of calling someone a fake. I think he deleted the tweet later. Cole put out a statement that he and Rio are friends and that he has no intention of making a complaint.

People are trying to make a story out of nothing with the Rio thing, doesn't change the fact that the man is an absolute idiot mind you.

That crap with the film of the day tweets now this... No common sense.

MagicMarker

Christ, who gives a fúck?

KH25

The way he carried on during the trial was almost childish. Those movie of the day tweets were cringeworthy. Regardless of whether the Cole thing was offensive or not, Rio's not doing himself any favours.

Poor Berbatov, deserves so much better:

Via his Facebook page

Because i am tired of speculation,i am talling you this. I read the papers and i see they say 10 million pounds is my price. I go and talk with Sir Alex, and he says to me 5 million..So who is talling the truth, what do you think??..And the truth is, I love this club, but i am not going to be useful to anyone, if i am not playing. And i want to play, i want to help. But for unknown reasons its not going to happen, or my chances will be limited, so it's better for everyone if we say goodbay. If not, i am professional and i will keep doing everything i can, to help my team and my teammates, whenever i have opportunity to do so.

That Berba facebook is just a fan page is it not?

Berba can speak English for a start. He has also never gone public, Facebook would seem like an odd medium to do that for the first time, particularly considering its just a fan page from what I understand

I will say, although I would be extremely surprised if it came from him, I guess we can't rule it out at this stage.

I've seen him speak English to a good standard in few different interviews, some can be found on Youtube. I do however doubt the authenticity of that statement, it does appear to be a fan page.

That was my point, he can speak English! So the spelling errors are a bit odd. Why not just put out a statement if he wants to go public? If it really is him then Fergie is gonna have the same reaction as if he put out an official statement.

While I also seriously doubt the authenticity of the statement on Facebook, just because someone can speak a language to a good standard doesn't necessarily mean they can also write to the same standard.

Guys, there are plenty of people who can speak English perfectly well as a first language but can't spell for shít. The fact that Berba can speak English well is meaningless when it comes to spelling.

But if it's a fan page then it's a fan page, so it's bollocks.

But Berba has been living in England for how many years now? He has been writing and reading in English for a long time. Would be very surprised if he would be making basic spelling mistakes to be honest.

Edit: According to his bio he learned to speak English at a young age

Yes, but speaking is not writing. You only have to look around this site and see people who have spoken English all their life who can't spell properly.

kryogen

I did say reading and writing Not just speaking, you could very well be right, but I think a guy as sophisticated as the sex bomb that is Berbatov would know how to spell talk

Just for the reason that the man has so much class that if he was to make this type of statement I'm sure there would be an ample amount of journalists who would love to do an interview with him to get the full story. I can't believe he would possibly disclose this through Facebook, putting the fact that it is a fanpage aside.

Your Airbag

I'm pretty sure that is Berbatovs offical page and he does all the posts himself. I follow it and he has posted very legit looking photos of himself with his kid and holidays snaps before.

He had pics of himself after training on this week and previously he has posted up his drawings, he likes to sketch celebs and pics of him with his Dad and brother.

I'b be 99.9% sure he made that post.

Sky Sports News just reported the Berbatov story coming from his facebook page.

There's a few personal pictures on the Facebook page so it could well be Berba's.

Or a very dedicated (weird) fan.

Just seen on the TV here, about Berbatov. Not 100% sure on that they said as my Bulgarian isn't the best but they could be just getting it from the FB page.

If I hear anything I shall let you know.
