No one stirs up debate quite like Berba. On the strength of a transfer rumour that not even all the papers picked up on the whole of my Twitter last night was awash with debate about how much we'd miss him. Yes, not many people stopped to think that this is the season to make up rumours, or that just because they want Berba doesn't mean that Berba wants them or that we would sell him anyway.
The Manchester Evening News has a sensible look at the story:
French side Paris St Germain, backed by oil-rich new owners from Qatar and with new manager Leonardo at the helm, are keen on Berbatov’s style. Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund also believe, having proved himself in the Bundesliga with former club Bayer Leverkusen, that he could add to their goal output. AC Milan are also on the look-out and could be ready to test the water.However, Berbatov’s agent insists there has been no movement yet for his client and says he wants to stay at Old Trafford.“There is no news because we have not heard anything from anyone,” said Emil Dantchev.“After we speak to Manchester United, we will know more but now he is very happy to be a Manchester United player."
So even if the rumour that PSG want him is true, reports of him going are greatly exaggerated. The same article says that Joshua King is going to Borussia Monchengladbach on loan.
The Daily Mail's version of the story also includes a brief sentence that Oldham want Ben Amos on loan.
The other stories about today are just rehashes of the same old days old stuff - The Mirror run the Man City in last minute bid for Sanchez story again - get some new material...
And The Daily Star run the Sneijder battle between Man City and us story....
And that's it.
