The Sun newspaper are reporting that Manchester United are preparing a bid of £27.5m in cash and striker Louis Saha for Dimitar Berbatov.

If there is any truth to it, only time will tell. But it looks like we’re set for a summer of speculation surrounding the Bulgarian.

If they do make that offer, then I hope it is rejected. First of all, Saha has been injured quite a lot recently, and added to that, if a world class player leaves we want a world class player in return, not some injury prone reserve player.

Secondly, the Chairman Daniel Levy said we aren’t a selling club, so what’s the point of selling? There isn’t unless it is an absolutely stupid bid that only fools would make.

The only other reason I can think of is if Berbatov is brainwashed by United and all the gossip. Let’s face it, it could happen, after all they have Champions League football.

I don’t believe any player is bigger than the club, but I do believe if he does leave it would hamper our progress - much like Michael Carrick’s departure did last summer.

The newspaper writes that United could offer an ‘incredible’ £39m and say Saha is worth £11.5m. He’s 28 and suffering injuries, so that’s an inaccurate valuation. I’d say he’s worth around £5m, meaning a deal would be worth £32.5m. If United are serious, they should talk cash only from £40m upwards. As if they want him, they will have to pay ridiculous money, it’s as simple as that!

The heart of Spurs’ defence will be starting in the England B match against Albania tonight. Michael Dawson, Ledley King, along with Jermaine Jenas and Aaron Lennon in midfield will have a chance to shine for their country.

Michael Owen is making his England comeback since suffering a bad knee injury in the World Cup last June.

The full team is as follows: Carson, P Neville, King, Dawson, Shorey, Lennon, Barry, Jenas, Bentley, Owen, Smith.

Breaking news earlier today was that Spurs had agreed to sign Southampton left-back Gareth Bale. Unfortunately later Southampton reportedly denied any agreement.

I’m not exactly sure where the reports originated from, but it looks like Sky Sports. In the past they’ve been privy to inside knowledge, so it will be interesting to see if there’s any truth to it. In the meantime, check out the video of the Welsh kid in action, he shows some great skills.
