*Football (soccer): An astonishing last day of the summer transfer window in the English Premier League:
**It is announced that the Abu Dhabi United Group, an investment vehicle of the Abu Dhabi royal family, have agreed to buy Manchester City F.C. from former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra for approximately £200 million, and have made an unlimited amount of money available to make City one of the leading teams in the Premiership.
**Manchester City then agree a deal with Tottenham Hotspur to sign Bulgarian striker Dimitar Berbatov for a fee of over £30 million. Berbatov, however, had always made it plain that he wished to sign for Manchester United in order to play in the Champions League, and he did so at the end of the day for a record fee of £30.75 million.
**City then succeeded in signing Robinho from Real Madrid for a new record €42 million (£32.5 million) — as recently as Sunday it was expected that Robinho would sign for Chelsea, but relations between Madrid and the London club cooled markedly.
