Do you even watch football?Goal.com is the top football site on the net.
I also posted a quote from the TIMES, last time I checked they were a "reputable" news source.
An expert at what? And how does he know what is going on between Manchester United and Tottenham?
Then perhaps you should hold judgement till then?
Funny, because non of that is on Sky Sports' website now. Or the BBC's for that matter.
I think that in your haste to jump on the bandwagon you may have been misled. Are you sure you are not basing this whole outcry on then Daniel Levy corrected Sky Sports that they had not accepted a bid yet from Manchester United when they had mistakenly reported that they had?
Unconfirmed?
They showed the guy speaking to ferguson at old trafford when they hadnt given him permision to talk to the player on TV.What more proof do you want?
You clearly do not follow football closely enough then.
I am not missled at all. If you watch sky sports you would know that their experts consist of past players and coaches. Pundits in the game, they know they game. Sky sports is the most credible source of information, they are the no 1 football news channel in the world. Their experts are not any tom dick and harry - they are football people.
I saw all the pics last night, when i was staying up until 1am to see the latest transfers. On Skys site, they had a pic of Berbatov at OT. If u cant find it, really doesnt bother me.
Why would Sky make such a big thing during their live report which is probably their NUMBER ONE DAY in the year! transfer day. Yet they still found the time to discuss this, but hey maybe they were lying when they said that Berbatov was picked up my a Man U car and maybe they were lying when they showed video of berbatov at Old trafford last night.
Maybe the video they were showing was just really a llok alike to Berbatov at Old trafford last night.
Maybe Sky news is the new Voice or Die Son.
You added The Times part in afterwards plus you didn't actually provide links.
Sorry but while goal.com may be a useful community site they are not a reputable news source. Aren't most their stories syndicated anyway?

In July, Spurs submitted a year's worth of evidence to the Premier League to support their complaint of Manchester United's "disgraceful" pursuit of the forward.
And until late on Monday, the White Hart Lane club had confirmed that they had agreed a transfer fee only with City.
I have no doubt that Berbatov was at Old Trafford last night, seeing as he eventually signed a contract with Manchester United.
What you are claiming is that he was there without Spurs' permission not just that he was there. That requires a bit more proof.
As for the expert: a name would go a long way to helping judge what he has to say.
As it emerged that Berbatov may have been having a medical, Tottenham, who were striving for information about the whereabouts of their player, were getting increasingly hot under the collar. They claimed that United had not been given permission to talk to the forward, because no bid had been accepted. Tottenham had turned down United’s £25 million offer two weeks ago.
Tottenham then threatened action against United for an alleged “tapping-up”, as well as scuppering their chances of selling Berbatov to City.
I posted it before your replied but removed it and added to the original post as it never needed another post.

Im done proving anything. Spurs released a statement saying that they did not give United permision to speak to Berbatov.
Hence a insert in sky news report was dedicated to how can United still pick him up and have his medical done. Google is your friend, use it.
I dont give a F where Berbatov went or ended up, he could goto Wigan for all i care. Its just irritating when u have to spell it out what happened to people.
it happed on Sky, they made a issue of it - they are hoping it will get investigated. Issue closed! If u dont beleive it, tough luck!
LoL - Man yoo supporters are blind to what is happening in front of them. The whole WORLD reports it. Yet, they say - that it is not fact. One journailst? Goal, BBC, Sky, Newsnow - hell even the Americans on ESPN reported it.
Yet, in your mind - United followed procedures. SureThats why the video with Berbatov at OT last night, with all the fans outside the stadium - and sky reporters reminding the public that Spurs did not give Untied permission to talk to him is all false. They are making it up.
Also thats why all the papers are printing that a deal was struck that Spurs will not complain to the FA.
If everything was above board, then there should be no reason to complain to the FA.
Which doesn't relate to current events. And by the way that "year's worth of evidence" was thrown out as insubstantial.
You haven't proved anything yet.
Spurs indeed did release a statement when they had not yet reached an agreement with United. They have since done so.
From what I can tell is that this "controversy" comes from the comments of one journalist who was featured on SSN. The factuality of his remarks remains as dubious as yours.
And for someone who doesn't care you sure seem to get your panties in a knot over it.
No dont do that. Just get all the reporters names, radio dj names. Any websites (it has to be credible ones though) Get the links. Dont watch sky sports tho. When they show video, it might be staged in a studio.
Gather all the information together - all names, then come and post here![]()
