Manchester City could smash British record to sign Spurs striker Berbatov
9:07am Thursday 8th May 2008
MANCHESTER City's mega-rich owner Thaksin Shinawatra is reported to be determined to land Spurs striker Dimitar Berbatov in a British transfer record deal.
The Daily Mail says rumours were rife yesterday that Shinawatra was lining up an eye-poping £32million offer for the Bulgarian hit-man.
But with City's bitter rivals Manchester United still believed to be in the hunt for a player Alex Ferguson has already attempted to sign, it appears it would be the red half of Manchester that would tempt Berbatov.
With strong interest from Spain and Italy as well, the players agent is believed to only want his client to join United if he is to remain in England.

Hey, Man city qualify for Europe this season? Any trophy? Well, we got a trophy and a place in Europe by being in the lower half of the league, hhmmmm show something does it. We know how to get our priorities right.

we all need a little perspective here - and to stop believing the amopunt of garbage that gets put out on these sites.
Sorry man city - but no matter how much you offer and even if we accept - Berby WILL NOT GO TO YOU!
nothing to do with whos bigger or whos the new Russian on the block - champions league is the only thing that would move berby on - and you can't offer it and despite what you blues may think - you're no closer to offering than we are.
I'm happy with spurs at the mo - a poor league season but we won a cup - regardless of what people may say (trueblue) about a "micky mouse" cup - if you won it you know just how much it would mean so don't try and belittle it
for any fan of a club who has won nothing this year to take the "micky" shows a lack of class and a laughable attitude to being a fan.

le spent loads of money on big players and got a lot closer than you have...and they still won nothing. They are on the way back now and good luck to them as they are a big club. We had our worst season for a while and still won something, you had your best and won nothing! As for the out of Europe after two games...shame you will never even get that far!! COYS
