Tomo 21,751 Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 This is going to be a controversial opinion but for 1 or 2 years, then i think this will be a really good move.Now the title is imo out of reach this season, we finished 25 points behind the Top 2, something that will not be rectified in 12 months, our main aim is to get back in the Top 4.What was it that cost us our Champions League place (via the domestic route) last season? The stupid amount of points we dropped in the so called "lesser games".As he shown in 2010/2011, Berbatov is one of the best in the business when it comes to "sweeping up" against the weaker teams, yes he may not be that much of a big game player, but if we get say 50 points out of a available 60 out of the bottom half teams, we will only need 20/60 against the top half teams to all but secure our Champions League place the following season. Berbatov around would sure mean we drop less points at places like Carrow Road this time out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also offers a pretty good games to goal ratio.... in all honesty it amazes me that he failed at United, guess he struggled to adapt to their style.

Muzchap 8,966 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I've ridiculed the man for years he better not come hate the lazy gitLOL he's not lazy - check his OPTA stats... It appears as tho he is lazy, but he is a very clever 'runner' into channels and taking defenders away...His first touch is amazing, probably one of the best in the world - go back check some YouTube of him when he played for the Spuds...We should definitely get him on-board... 2yr contract with a release clause @ 18 months for both-sides...

Mart 29 Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Funnily enough I was just discussing this on another forum. He's pretty much the only extremely talented striker I can think of that we could get super cheap as cover for a couple of years, but alas the club has showed absolutely no interest in him. Imo Utd would even forget the 5m transfer fee just to get his wages off the books, he's going to get zero game time there next season anyway with RVP, Rooney and Kagawa already confusing fans to how they will fit into one XI. Imo he'd be a clever signing and we would surely have the classiest attack in the world, even if they wouldn't necessarily score a lot of goals haha.

He holds the ball up well and would link with our plethora of attacking midfielders. Despite never being first choice at Utd he has still managed a goal every other game.

Sheva. 5,373 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 'During today the English club had allowed their player the written permission to come to Florence for a medical and to sign his contract.'The player got on the flight with his agent and on tickets paid for by Fiorentina. He never arrived in Florence. This was down to outlandish and arrogant behaviour of other clubs, who have nothing to do with fair play and sporting ethics that go even beyond the confines of fairness.'As for the player, apart from his characteristics and his value on the field, we are happy he didn’t come to Fiorentina.

Tomo 21,751 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 even if they wouldn't necessarily score a lot of goals haha.Berbatov is the kind off player that would score a hatfull against teams in the bottom half of the table.It was a poor record against those type of teams that cost us a CL place via the domestic route last term.
