Can't see how we'd be buying Kranjcar AND Petrov - surely only room in the squad for one or other of them, unless we see several of our current midfielders depart?
I thought Petrov was with Berbs for their International game?
He is not. He asked permision to stay in England and will join the NT tomorow evening. Here is what Berbatov said about Petrov's transfer:

If Hughes is trying to get Bentlry, then Petrov in return is a good deal if we seal the Krancjar deal as well. Gio and Lennon and Krancjar for the right, Petrov, Krancjar and Modric for the Left (plus Gio). We might lose Pav as well so Gio will probably fufill the role of 4th striker. I think both Petrov and Krancjar are good signings and for the monies pondered on the sites none too shabby business.
hope it doesnt mean bentley leaving
For 39m I think it does. Nice profit on Toure and replaced him with an impressive player with more years ahead of him. Nearly 30m still in the bank. That would see them through a year without CL football.Ditto.
I'm not convinced that improving the squad of one of your key rivals for is such a good idea. All the money Arsenal made from City in transfer dealings this summer won't stack up so much, should they be the team Arsenal lose out on the Champions League pot too.
I'd be fine for them to gazump Pompey for KPB though.
