I think he's better than Tevez, but nowhere near as good as Rooney.

As for Owen, well time will tell with that one. I think Owen is the better poacher, with Berba the more creative player of the two.

ROONEY, the player who scored 3 more goals by taking twice as many shots, winning half as many tackles (despite how Berbatov apparantly doesnt run to close people down or get the ball), winning only a third of the fouls Berbatov did, making less passes and getting less assists.

YES MUCH BETTER

maybe Berbatov should try shooting abit more then?

Gustov · 3 Sep 2009 at 00:23

Have you got posters of him in your bedroom that you touch yourself over?

So you think him taking over 90 shots for Tottenham, and then dropping to just 43 for UTD, is just him deciding not to shoot? There is nobody behind the scenes telling him to shoot less and pass more?

maybe the reason he has to pass all the time, is his poor positioning?

NOBODY HAS A VIDEO LIKE THAT, NOBODY, HE COULD BE AN ENTERTAINER, HE COULD BE THE GREATEST, SERIOUSLY

You're right, nobody wanting to be talked about as 'THE GREATEST' does have a video like, because such players wouldn't need to pad out their vids with that many tap ins from less than 10 yards.

Is he a skilled player? Yes. Does watching that video make me think he's in the same league as Le Tissier or Bergkamp? Not on your life. They make him look like a pub player - a pub player who's just had 6 pints.

YES

The reason for passing the ball accurately and getting the most assists in the league is because he has poor positioning :rolleyes:

As a United I like him, a lot. But, we have not seen the best of him at all.

This season minus the cameo display agaisnt Arsenal he seems to be more intent on getting into the box and I'm sure it will pay dividends.

At the end of this season I will judge him fully.

Like I said I like him, but I think it's a common opinion that he did not set the world on fire last season and often slowed our play, decent but not £30million decent.

This season I am sure he will make a huge impact and will hopefully form a useful partnership with Rooney. Many United fans who were claiming Tevez as some kind of world class player are now of course changing thier minds. For me personally Berba adds more to our team than that Argie ****.

THE CLASSIC BERBA INSULT, WELL DONE

Berbatovs movement, first touch and balance are his greatest assets.

And his movement off the ball when UTD dont have the ball.. He won more tackles than any of the other strikers, a lot more. so what does that tell you?
