At the time I was glad we didn't get him and he's been £32.5million down the pan for Stretford. I'm looking at him now though and wondering why he doesn't even get on the bench for some games and idiots like Michael Owen got the nod ahead of him for some games like the league cup.
Apparently though some of the things Berbatov can do in training "defy belief" so obviously he is still skilful. My idea is we but in a derisory offer for him, get him on board to flat track bully the lower league teams when we rest Kun and wheel him out as first choice striker in the derby matches where he will be so pumped up with anti Taggart sentiment he will make Adebayor's performance against Arsenal look pedestrian.
Remember Berbatov is also one of only four players to score 5 goals in a PL match. Anything that sends Slur Sandy into defibrillating fury and humiliation is worth a few quid.

I don't want us to be tainted or infected by any more imports from Scumland, especially after the Spews (Uuuuggghhh) and Tevez scenarios.
In any event, I wouldn't touch Berbaflop with a barge-pole and he's now well past his 'sell-by' date.

Berbaflop offers us nothing.
Your hatred of the rags should take 2nd place to City's best interests.

It was something Dzeko, for instance, can't even get close to in general play.
I find his relative lack of success at OT very satisfying but also very strange. He was, let's not forget, top scorer in the league. Imo, if Berbatov is given a run, & plays for the rags v City, we have a much much harder job than if Danny Wellbeck or Twatterito play.
I recon his Utd career ended when he missed that sitter v us in the Cup Semi. Ferguson is a nasty, bitter, old cunt & has to lash out against someone (he did it with the keeper years ago when we fucked them over).
If it wasn't for his rag position & the fact that he wants to start most games, I would take Berbatov in our squad no problem.
I hope he still has some left in the tank, cos I recon he's going to give Wio & Co a right fucking turning over at some point.

Was that the league cup game? If so then yes, every time the ball came to him it was like the world turned into slow motion. It really was a fantastic performance.

Nope. They're pretty much on a par with each other.
