Man City are delusional, they think they're going to be in top 4. So, I wouldn't believe all these signings of Berbatov, Mario Gomez, David Villa, Robinho etc. Especially since 3/4 are strikers -_- and they just bought a top quality winger

They're bidding for Robinho, too? So they're bidding for:
Robinho
Villa
Berbatov
Mario Gomez

Wow.

It appears early reports from Madrid seem to be false. So only Man City and Man U are in for Berbatov.

You can already tell City's owners don't know football because although they're dirty rich they sold Corluka rofl.

Nah, it ends at UK midnight. 1 extra hour

Use both the BBC liver update and the Sky Sports one, http://www.skysports.com/football/transfer_clockwatch/0,23710,14896,00.html

The BBC one needs to manually be refreshed though

Thanks. I'm kinda worried there isn't any news involving United. Out of all the clubs linked with big names only United is buying for need. Although it's not our style to make a huge fuss about a transfer target unless he's Hargreaves.

I don't remember there being huge amounts of news on Nani and Anderson. Then one day I open the newspaper and BAM we got both of them. Hopefully, we'll just get some quality out of the blue signing.

Somewhere down the list, hahahaha:

Bah, and ManU has sold Saha too, if they can't land Berbatov, their in deep trouble.

edit: Think arsenal will get anyone? I really hope they go for Miguel Veloso.

Some media are saying in Spain that Robinho to City, 40m €. Nothing confirmed.

EDIT: Now all media are saying it's DONE. In fact, City pays in CASH lol wtf?

Robinho to City? Are you serious? £34m is a lot though. I thought he genuinely wanted to play for Scolari... I guess he just wanted to get out of the Bernabeu, eh? (or just wanted money)

Edit:
22.02 Sky Sports News sources understand that Manchester City have put in place a £32.5million deal to sign Robinho from Real Madrid, while reports in Spain say the deal has been done. Chelsea had been hoping to capture the Brazilian, so will there be a late twist in the transfer?

So is it just a bid, or is it a done deal?

Real Madrid president confirmed the deal, 42 million euros in cash.

He wanted to leave because he felt underrated during the CR drama. Some spanish media said RM was going to put money + Robinho in the deal and he believed it. Now he is gone, richer and happier I guess.
