Is he still a chain smoker?  I don't want Jack picking up any more bad habits.

Ed China from Comfy Banana (specializes in designing whaky cars in the shape of bananas, filing cabinets etc.) and Wheeler Dealers is working on a motor in the form of a football boot for Berbatov  should we sign him. Obviously it's at the experimental stage, but he hopes to have a life size fully approved vehicle type  ready for December. All Berba has to do is sit in and steer, thus eliminating the need to even walk around the pitch in a claret and blue smoking jacket.

Isn't he the one Mr U on Pawn Stars who is clearly 60 and behaves like a teenager and wears a turban to hide his slap head?   They take him some old heap of junk from the Vegas Uncle's and he attempts to win an Oscar for Bullshit Over And Above The Call Of Duty describing the incredible work of art he is going to make from Uncle's pile of rust but cannot say how much it will cost.  A custom built Sedan chair would be be better for Berbatov with Clark and Baker to  carry him around the pitch while discharging their other defensive duties.

Edd China* is good on Wheeler Dealers. However, I can't stand Mike. He's a stereotypical used car dealer.

As with The Duck, China spells his name with two "ds"

That tasty confectionery has tweeted that we have enquired about a United player and it is not Young. I really hope it is not Evans, or indeed Rafael.

Hang on, let's backtrack a bit. Which United?

It seems a long time ago now since we were wondering about the Luongo lad at Swindon.  A tremendous turn around in players.  As already said, it 'ain't gonna be dull.

I thought Adebayor had signed for a season long loan with an option to buy a couple of days ago. What have I missed?

just going back to Mr China, he's a top bloke and very tall, whereas Mr Brewer isn't. Met them both several times at car shows.

I think we can honestly dismiss Berbatov coming,I personally hate The Mirror newspaper and The Daily Express is the Mirror's sister newspaper.
They print rubbish, there is no credence to their stories, they just jump on the bandwagon, none of the journalists are any good.
In fact if Berbatov signs, I will run two marathons and give all the money raised to Acorns.

On the plus side all the signings so far are very positive and none strike me as being in the bomb squad in a year's time.

Adebayor...I can just about make sense of this if his head is on the right place purely on the basis of experience and his relationship with TS. If the deal is stalling due to the players financial demands then let him rot at Spurs.

Berbatov...no doubt he was a quality player a few years ago, but watching him stroll around with his nonchalant style would do my head in. I really can't see him contributing any value or fitting in with this young squad we are developing that will presumably be playing a high tempo game. Other than having the ability to retain possession, I really can't see this working.

Given a choice between the 2 of them, and on the caveat that they aren't mental or lazy, then I'd take Adebayor but I'd much rather we use any available finances to secure another young, hungry and talented forward or an experienced RB or CB...or Cambiasso to provide experience in the middle of the park.

Is chain weed or tobacco?

I imagine the stories about Berbatov are just his agent drumming up awareness that his client is a free agent and would like to play in the Premier League again.
