dream come true for berbatov

MANCHESTER UNITED have finally completed the signing of Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov for £30.75million. Just forty minutes before the deadline expired, United submitted papers to the Premier League, hoping the registration would go through in time. For Ferguson and me, Berbatov’s arrival was a matter of extreme urgency.

Meanwhile, MANCHESTER City have completed the sensational signing of Brazilian star Robinho from Real Madrid for £32.5million. English Premier League starts playing around like what we normally do in Football Manager. This is going to be crazy. Manchester City has the potential to become the 2nd Chelsea.

haha, try to annoy u. today i just read about the Abu Dhabi takeover on Man City and an 11th hour bid on Berbatov. And now? joined the bro club instead. with chelsea stalking on robinho all summer and man city managed to snatch it under the billionaire roman's nose? unbelievable. Guess the silly season has just got underway.
Are you forecasting how berbatov going to perform for man utd to even as far as 2009-2010? perhaps it will be turn out just the opposite and robinho will score 33 goals plus BPL player of the year in 09/10.
You should had gave credit for dimitra performance at spurs in 2007 together with r.keane instead of putting 'complicated'. 2 cents!

For the "complicated" this word, i just don't want to mention too many words in my blog, too wordy later. Therefore, i just put a single word. hehe. We will see

Great signing!! a long awaited awaited berbatov has finally come... at least for me. hehe... we need someone like him at united. thats what united is lack of at the moment. hopefully we can do better this season, or at least maintain last season's performance.

we dont doubt dimitar's ability to play in BPL. but the question is can he get along with carlo and wayne?
for me personally i dont think dimitar will work for man utd. 30m may win him the most expensive intra-club transfer but also the worst BPL signing in 2008/09 season.

15 September is the answer. WE WILL SEE.

i he'll be great at manchester united... mu is lack of a target man like this right now.. his signing will fully fit that position. and about zmek's 15th against liverpool, i hope he do well, but keep in mind, that'll be his first match (if he play). how much can u expect...

Alvin Ngo said...

you will never expect what he is expecting. He is going to be exploded. BOOM!!

re-zmek, did berba justify the amount of pounds manyoo pay for spurs? my humble opinion is not at this moment, a long way from BOOM.
He might as well end up as his former deadly strike partnership r.keane for liverpool.
