J Cole and Essien for Berbs, I'd take that....
Luke, sorry, but you've departed from reality here. Check:

There's an entirely believable theory that Chelsea signed Sweepy and paid him silly money in order to deny him to rivals; whether that's true or not, there's no doubt they've severely retarded his development as a player—his old man's said that. There were very strong rumours that we were interested in him last summer; these may have been bollocks, but I'm pretty sure Jol was a big fan.
Whatever, I don't think we should be taking a player who is clearly surplus to requirements in part-exchange for Berbatov.
The Chavs want rid of Anelka after half-a-season? Seriously? And even if there is any foundation to this, do we really want a player who's nearly 30, and could get bored after a season? I think not. Bent may not have the same quality, but he'll bang them in just as well, given a fair crack of the whip.
Interesting:
"We are sorry but Dimitar Berbatov Special is no longer available for betting. Why not have a bet on one of the following events instead?"

They don't accept bets about Berbatov's future club any more. Precaution?
anelka is crap we have lennon and berba is our best player. this deal stinks...
if this true ..
even if Chelsea offered £15m plus these two players, they are laughing at us, SWP is one they want to sell and Anelka is 29 and not that good for them, so they are paying £15m to get one of the best strikers in Europe ( that's if they will £15m with these over-rated players ! )
If it's English club ( Man Utd - Chelsea )
Man Utd : Carrick or Nani plus £20m
Chelsea: Joe Cole plus £20m
too much, but they want our best players and we want top 4 !
we should tell them, that offer or we will sell him abroad.
if we sell to chelsea we are shooting ourselves in the foot...
we dont make teams around us better by giving them our best players..
it is not rocket science we either sell to a team abroad or he stays and sees out his contract, i would take 4 more years of berbatov and then let him go for free.
it seems like carrick all over again
Anyone saying Anelka is shit is a mug. Anelka would be an ideal signing. In some ways he is even better suited to playing ahead of Modric than Berbatov (although Berbatov would be good too obviously). He works harder and is quicker than Berbatov. Skillfull as well and a decent finisher. He has proved at Bolton that there isnothing wrong with his work ethic or attitude. We could also do worse than sign Crouch as well. This would give us a good selection of options up front. SWP doesn't exactly excite me but if Lennons off (rumours ?) his a good hard working rm/rw who will bomb forward but also put a back shift in too. Plus cash. I'd take this deal all day long.
