Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.
As I said, I think Berbatov is a footballing genius, and his quality is absolutely undisputable. And as a 3rd striker, I think he's wonderful, a real asset to the team. If he's willing, I'm sure Fergie is more than happy to keep him around as part of a 4 man striker rotation.
But.
If there was a match tomorrow we had to win and I could pick any two strikers in the premier league to play in it for us, he wouldn't be there. If you had to list the best strikers in the league, I'd go with: Rooney, Van Persie, Tevez, Drogba and Bent.
And Berbatov is so good, at so many levels, that it really just depresses me that he isn't in that list. He has height, decent pace, a touch from the gods, he's two-footed can finish in any number of ways and before his time with us was pretty handy with his head. And yet, he still underwhelms. It can't just be work ethic. My personal belief is that he just doesn't read the game very well.
