   Today's the day when all transfer activity in the Barclays Premier League will come to an end. The team I love the most, Manchester United, finally got the player we've been targeting for almost 2 seasons now, Dimitar Berbatov. I was following the transfer news all night, on Sky Sports, The Sun newspaper, Daily Mail, The Guardian and many other news portal. the other highlights that surprised me were Manchester City, our main rivals, were sold by deposed former Thai PM Thaksin Shinawatra to a very wealthy Arabian group, called Abu Dhabi United Group, and soon after they launched bids for Berbatov and Robinho of Real Madrid, who was also on the verge of leaving for Chelsea. Luckily, Berbatov made the right decision, that is to join us at Man United, a move that he described as "a dream come true". When I found out the next morning, I leaped with joy, because finally our team has an out-and-out striker who can really score goals for fun, good in the air and has great finishing abilities. But City made life a bit hard for us, we had to increase the offer to 31 million pounds and offer Fraizer Campbell on loan to Tottenham so that the deal would go through. Berba will wear the No.9 shirt vacated by Louis Saha who left for Everton a day earlier. Below is the article by The Sun (UK)

      Furious Spurs NEVER gave United permission to talk to the striker.
But they eventually agreed a £31million deal just before midnight and were persuaded not to make an official complaint.
Spurs had earlier accepted a £34m bid from Manchester City.
But City's new Arab owners never got to speak to him because United chief Alex Ferguson personally whisked him away from the airport.
Had Spurs chairman Daniel Levy gone ahead with the complaint, United could have faced a points deduction, massive fine and transfer ban.
Yet United helped keep the Londoners sweet by letting them have striker Fraizer Campbell, 20, on a year’s loan.
Berbatov, 27, has signed a £100,000-a- week, four-year deal at Old Trafford.
The Bulgarian said: “Joining United is a dream come true.
“I look forward to playing my part in helping this club win more honours.”
Fergie was delighted to finally capture the striker. He admitted: “This is a key signing.
“Dimitar is one of the best and most exciting strikers in world football.
“His style and ability will give the team a different dimension and I’m sure he will be a popular player with the fans.”
