Unsettled Berbatov finally on his way?

It look like we may be about to get him, and it would seem that his manager is willing it to happen as much as United are, if the remarks about Keano's statement are true.

Quite right too, would Ronaldo have scored as many without Rooney in the team. The answer is no as far as i am concerned.

He certainly should be, but i won't be putting any money on new labour to do it.

I went to the free spinningfields gig in town yesterday, and spent an enjoyable few hours. I missed the first two acts, but managed to see The Mekkits, The Travelling Band and the headliners who i really went to see I am Kloot. The Mekkits weren't bad, they started brightly, but faded a bit in the middle before ending strongly. I'd like to hear more of the brass in their mix of styles. The Travelling Band were pretty good, it was the first time i had heard them. Very laid back for a Manchester act, they are part of the new Manchester folk ( acoustic scene? ). Last up were I am Kloot and they didn't diasppoint. We had a great view right at the front, which was handy, as you always find out how good a group really are near the front. John Bramwell is a real frontman and as usual i can't understand how they aren't much bigger. Great tunes and a great band.
The Travelling band unofficial encore



I am Kloot



That was the first time i have been around spinningfields, the most impressive thing about is the size of the place. When you walk past it on Deansgate you have absolutely no idea just how big the place is.
