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.

I agree with you, he is very different to our current strikers, certainly capable of changing the game since he can hold the ball up better that Torres or Sturidge. 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.

I've ridiculed the man for years he better not come hate the lazy git

LOL 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...

Think it's his running style, makes him appear lazy... won't ever happen, but I still feel he has an awful lot to offer.

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.

Agreed as a stop gap for a couple I years whilst Lukaka learns the trade. 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.

'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. He did not deserve our city, to wear our jersey or the values that represent it.'

talks about arrogant behaviour of other clubs then says that he doesn`t deserve their city,or to wear their jersey.

hmmm..i think i understand why Mutu liked it there. bunch of arrogant coke heads!. 2006 Italian football scandal anyone..it wasn`t only Juve. they were found guilty in it too,just not relegated for it (had alot of points deducted instead) i know things are tight in italy with finances,tho how they blow so much money is a mystery to me but i`m sure they can be refunded the air-fare from Manchester to Florence by Berbatov.no need to bitch about it in the press.

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.
