Comments on: Berbatov, Bloody hell! http://www.thedevilinme.co.uk/2008/09/02/berbatov-bloody-hell/ Football analysis by Mark Payne Tue, 27 Dec 2011 13:56:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Jono http://www.thedevilinme.co.uk/2008/09/02/berbatov-bloody-hell/comment-page-1/#comment-237 Jono Tue, 02 Sep 2008 21:31:41 +0000 http://www.thedevilinme.co.uk/2008/09/02/berbatov-bloody-hell/#comment-237 I think Fergie basically kidnapped him at Manchester Airport just to make sure he didn't meet Hughsie - which is what Tottenham were expecting, allegedly having granted only Citeh permission to speak to him at that stage. A good signing but I would have been equally happy with Benzema (he's only 20, not 27). And at least Frazier Campbell only goes to Spurs on loan. I stayed up last night until I crashed out over my keyboard around 11 p.m when the news was still that Berba could still go to Citeh and there was only a vague whiff that City had Robinho in their sights. A conspiracy theory has been put about that Citeh (I prefer "Citeh" to "City") only bid for Berba as a smokescreen for their Robinho powerplay. In any event it leaves a lot of egg on Kenyon's face and a lot of unsellable blue Robinho shirts!
