We already have Tevez for 2 years on Loan, so even if we were to have Berbatov now we'd still have 3 strikers.
Tevez works harder and is a better playmaker than Berbatov. He's also more consistent and less likely to have a massive strop. Also, Rooney and Tevez work brilliantly together.

Apaarently Taylor from Portsmouth has been spotted at the Sunderland training complex along with a black French centre half of unknown name.
Both sound like an improvement, I don't know a lot about Taylor other than he's scored some decent long range goals

Which is my point. Is Berbatov gonna be happy being 3rd choice and sat on the bench? We play 4-4-2 so one of our 3 strikers would have to be on the bench, can you drop Rooney or Tevez?
The same 'black center half' that was there in the summer and didn't get signed?
.I'd like Matty Taylor as backup left-back/right back and wings at Man Utd. Hell, shove him in at RB now instead of Wesley Brown.

i dont think we should buy Tevez for 20 million:/
Torres is a good player though, he is worth that kind of money.

Tevez has probably been our 2nd best performer this season. Not bad for someone who had no pre-season at all.
Torres: 9 Goals | 2 Assists
Tevez: 7 Goals | 4 Assists
Nothing really between them and what I'd expect, ones a total front man and the other's a hardworking support act.

I haven't really seen all that much of Tevez tbh but he's quality and he does try hard. Worth that kind of money? Possibly imho.
I'd rather have Berbatov than Rooney though anyday of the week.

no but torres is a lot more spectacular and more dynamic.
Tevez has scored 7 but haw many has he missed from like 6 yards out?
Berbatov is different class, if he can get his act together he can become the worlds best at leading the line and bringing other players into the game. His first touch and technique are quite simply ridiculous. I just hope Spurs hold onto him, because if we do the only way is up for the club.
Or play Rooney on the left of midfield (which SAF seems to be doing quite a lot even this season) - I dont think it will happen, Im just saying how they could all fit in
I think yesterday proves we need someone - and the suggestion about Kitson above would actually be worth a punt, unfortunately I cant see it happening
I dont have confidence in Saha being a "match" winner in any way, yes he scored a couple against Sunderland, but for me it was other people's movement that created the goals/penalty and not really Saha actually doing very much
Probably the same amount that Torres has missed from that range
Because Tevez has played for us and fits into our system? And anyway, if we were to buy Berbatov (which we won't, not in January anyway), we would still buy Tevez. We can afford to, we're not Liverpool 
The papers also say we're giving Tottenham Brown, Saha, VdS, Scholes, Rooney and Ronaldo in exchange for Berbatov. We've been buying Defoe for the past 4 seasons, and Torres was a dead cert to be signed for the three season prior to him joining Liverpool.
