The Transfer Merry Go Round!

Right, after taking a day off to recover from the head jam that is the transfer window, I wake up this morning to find that we are being linked with buying and selling more players than I can keep up with. So in order to put mine (and your) minds at rest, for a few hours at least, here's a round up of sorts....

First off the Daily Mirror today reports:

Tottenham aim to clinch the £17million capture of England star David Bentley today - and send Paul Robinson to Blackburn in the deal.
Spurs chairman Daniel Levy and Rovers supremo John Williams are to have a summit to thrash out figures for the exchange deal that will see Bentley get his wish to leave Ewood Park and Rovers a replacement for Brad Friedel.

Then re Berba, the Daily Mail says:

United agree £28m fee with Tottenham for Berbatov - now Spurs wait for Arshavin decision on White Hart Lane switch

Manchester United have agreed to pay Tottenham a club-record £28million for Dimitar Berbatov - but may have to wait a few weeks before completing the deal.
Sir Alex Ferguson finally made his move for the Bulgarian striker over the weekend.
An initial bid of £20m was rejected and it was then reported that United would make a £25m take-it-or-leave it offer.
However, the two clubs have now come to an agreement after chairman Daniel Levy insisted the champions pay closer to £30m.

Sources on various message boards are also confirming most of this as well as the fact that we are looking for 'top class' replacements if well sell Berbs and/or Keano although the deal for the latter seems to have gone quiet over the past day or two.

Also having been linked are Santa Cruz (maybe part of the Bently deal), Millito, Pavlychenko, Arshavin, Garcia, and once again Villa.

Also it has been good to see the lads training in Spain (pics on official site), especially John Bostock and other reserve/academy players mixing it with the 1st team!

That's all for now (well 5 mins at least), will keep you updated as and when any of this is confirmed!!!
