Yup, all three have been confirmed by the Club as official bids. City have actually accepted said Berbatov bid. Hughes is talking to him now as we speak, even though he was spotted speaking to Fergie a few hours ago, according to the BBC and SKY Sports.

Keeping in mind Man City's new owners, I've just heard the new Man City stadium nickname: middle Eastlands!... apparently fans are already dressing up like sheiks!... (Dear oh dear )

Yeah, I bet by the end of the day they'll have spent over 100 Million and have a bigger squad than the rest of the premier league combined . They've signed like 4 players already right?

Another update: Last thing I heard was Berbs was indeed over at OT having a medical. Funny thing is, Spurs have agreed to a fee with City, not United. Wonder what'll happen...

Just heard a rumour of purest, unadulterated evil... Spurs to make a late bid for a player for whom the phrase 'flatters to deceive' springs to mind instantly upon hearing his name... Emile Heskey...

NOOOO!... GOD!.... PLEAAAAASE, NO!... That might just about finish me off, I swear...

I mean, can you possibly imagine it?... if I recall rightly, he scored four f****** goals last season... FOUR??!!...

Please God this is just a foul piece of misinformation put out by those awful Woolwich Arsenal fans...

He's been at Carrington all this time having the medical, he arrived at OT not long ago.

Now all I want is for Roman to buy C. Ronaldo and sell him to Barcelona at a cut rate price just to show Real how pissed off this move has made us. That would take some of the sting of ManCity signing Robinho away. If Robinho does sign with City, I will be extraordinarily pissed off. Are they trying to be jackasses and hijack everyone's moves? Or does this new owner just not know how much of a b*tch karma can be? Anyway, where would Robinho even fit into City's line up?

Right. That's me done. Time to drag myself away from all this... my only concern being I'll wake up tomorrow and just won't believe the signings that have taken place in the final hour of the transfer window... Robinho to Man C?... Berbatov to Man u?... Heskey to Spurs? (NOOOO!!!)... and what of Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea?... Well, we'll see.

I'm listening to Ramon Calderon now, and Robinho is definetively done with ManCity. 42 million euros is good money. We lose Robinho and we don't buy a thing, I don't have words...

Spurs are getting Fraizer Campbell as part of whatever deal goes through for Berbman

Robinho to City is done apparently

Good money? You've got an amazing deal!

I thought the price was only stupidly high because teams always inflate the prices when Chelsea inquire, but to get another club inquiring and then paying an even HIGHER price, you should be delighted!

As for Chelsea, it's a bit worrying we're left with only Kalou, Cole and Malouda to play wide. We also got rid of strikers and haven't brought in replacements.

We have Drogba (who's injured 3/4 of the time anyway) Anelka (who is actually hopeless) and Di Santo the young kid.

I'd take 2nd in the league and automatic Champions League qualification right now, especially with Man Utd getting the missing piece of their jigsaw.

From Calderon:
"The fact that he has accepted an offer from Manchester City says that he is not going for sporting reasons."

Good morning fellow TTFC squad members,

Well, it's all over and Chelsea didn't get Robinho (big surprise for me) or anyone for that matter. Arshavin stayed put at Zenit. Barton and Smith has remained at Newcastle. Owen didn't go to Everton. Wenger wouldn't open his wallet to buy a cup of tea! And - thank God - Heskey hasn't joined Spurs (the word 'halleluya' springs to mind!)

The most shocking late-night transfer deal indeed occurred with Robinho going for silly amounts of money to Man City. I must say it strikes me as being a little not quite right, what with the player's expressed desire to be at Chelsea and their protracted talks with Madrid in trying to get him - and then suddenly, overnight, City are one of the very richest teams in the whole world...

Anyhow, Bulgaria's answer to Andy Garcia, a certain Dimitar Berbatov managed to get himself kidnapped by Alex Ferguson and got driven off to Old Trafford, where he duly signed on the dotted line (although I believe the manner of this and the fact Spurs never even gave Man U permission to talk to Berba may lead to some form of sanctioning.)

And further a-field, the very highly thought of Quaresma went to Inter.

So... any interesting deals (that's both good or bad) completed yesterday by your side?... are you feeling frustrated/confused/very pleased with who you've brought in (or let go)?... and how about teams from Serie A, La Liga, the Bundesleague, South America, etc?... do let us know your thoughts and feelings here at TTFC!

Speaking for myself and my team (Tottenham), rather like alonsin said earlier in reference to Real Madrid, I feel p***** off that we've received a massive fortune for 2 proven Premier League players and yet have only brought in only 1 (unproven) like-for-like player in Pavylyuchenko (and a year's loan of Frasier Cambell doesn't add up to very much IMO.) I won't bore you all with my other thoughts on how we haven't actually got a proper 'spine', and my disappointment with letting certain players go (like Malbranque), I just feel Spurs have raked in an unbelievable sum of money and haven't bought commensurately at all.

R.
