If the Webster ruling stands, I fear that it ends any chance of us retaining Berbatov. I know most of you disagree but I expect Berbatov to be sold this window for a fee around £20 million. The Gutierrez deal has affectively reduced Berbatov's value by at least £10 million. Levy will want to cash in now to prevent him going on a Webster at the end of the season.
If Webster stands, I don't think we should be buying any player in their mid-twenties for more than £10 million. Our lawyers must now be reconsidering all our potential purchases this window, because we could shell out £15-20 million for a player who's worth half of that at the end of the season. Again - in the Domesday Webster scenario.
