JOLT FROM JARVIS |

Sir Alex Ferguson suggested in his press conference on Friday morning that Berbatov could be heading to White Hart Lane despite the player virtually agreeing a switch to Fulham.
Berbatov, who would cost around £4m, has angered United in the final week of the transfer window after turning down potential moves to Fiorentina and Juventus - and there could now be a final twist to the saga.
"I do not know what has happened," Ferguson said this morning.
"He has not gone yet. I do not know anything about it. There's not been any contact from him.
"We thought he was in Italy but it turned out he isn't. He could be anywhere. I really mean that.
"I wouldn't be surprised if he was at Tottenham. There are rumours going around. I do not think it is settled at Fulham."
