All Quiet on the Berba Front and Nothing Else…
Yes. It’s gone all quiet. There is deafening silence. For all of Dimitar Berbatov’s reported pleading to be allowed to follow his dreams, there is really nothing happening at all. Instead the papers have decided to lazily speculate that we’re interested in the likes of Huntelaar, although there has been little, by way of credible evidence, to suggest such an interest recently.
Whilst it would be tempting for someone to pursue alternative targets, there is very little world class talent available to us to fill that void of a target man who can stay fit for a certain period of time. So while we continue to do, what seems like, a rather accurate version of Waiting for Godot — with regard to our striker situation — let’s cover some other nuggets of Manchester United news.
Owen Hargreaves says he’ll be 100% fit when he returns. Apparently he was only 60% for most of the games he played in last season. If he devoured Man City at Eastlands, and Roma at home by playing at 60%, then at 100%, he’ll be a monster. Let’s hope it all falls into place for him.
There are reports of a new 10m deal with a Saudi Teleom giant. But other than that, this has been a rather boring day of nothingness.
So I will leave you all to dwell on the beauty that is the nothingness.
Cheerio!

@Craig Mc:
I don’t agree tbh. Alot of transfers are in the balance atm and are waiting for just one to go through before the rest fall into place. Just look last year where ultimately us signing Tevez, resulted in Liverpool signing Torres (Tevez replaced Rossi who Replaced Forlan who Replaced Torres). Even if it ends up being the last day of the Transfer window then each team will no doubt have an idea who they want to replace anyone who leaves and how to get them (See Benjani and Defoe in January)

@Matthew: Riquelme would have scored around 15 goals in the EPL alone and 7 to 10 free kick goals. But he would have had over 20 assists. I kid you not. His through balls and chips are sublime and his crosses and corner kicks are lethal. My God he would have been immense. But would he have been able to handle Fergie and the hairdryer treatment on those odd games where he played poorly? Well Cantona and others like that have so who knows really?

@Stephen: Yes Veron was misused a lot but he was one of those that suffered from the language and cultural differences. He just never took roots in Manchester. Many South Americans really belong in only Spain, Portugal or Italy. They are not much for world cultural experimentation. It has a lot to do with cultural bias and lack of education as well, they are from cultures that like to be with their own exclusively. It’s a comfort zone thing. English players are not that different as you don’t see to many of them going to play anywhere else in Europe. They feel more comfortable with the British style of football, food, pubs, attractions and language. This is why I have been crying for Fergie to turn his scouting emphasis more towards open minded and liberal thinking European countries where players would love to play in England and who also feel comfortable with the weather, culture and language.
