how would you get your autograph if he moves to Spain, Johnno?
Berbatov to Sevilla?

I very much doubt this story is a runner unless Fergie has someone lined up to come in
Rooney, Hernandez, Owen and Wellbeck?
I dont think he'd be comfortable going a full season with that

I would bet my house on it that Diouf is not good enough for United. That's just my opinion.
I was thinking more like £20m and SAF would be tempted to sell
Yep, unless Fergie has another striker in mind, this wont happen. Not for 12m atleast.
No one would offer that though. He's turned 30 and will be entering the last year of his contract.
He didn't say anything of the sort
Putting words in someones mouth..... This forum is awesome!
I asked him a question, dummy.
Being good enough and being given a chance are two different things.
Many people think Gibson isn't good enough, he's still here and getting occasional games.
Sometimes Fergie stands by a player, when the world thinks he is wrong.
Personally I think he's an average player and Blackburn is about his level, but you never know with SAF.
Do you think? I'm not so certain. If Berbatov is happy to play third fiddle then would 12m really be enough?
Nice try Lance, the guy who doesn't "bully"
name calling again are we 
You asked a question and assumed the answer with "This forum is awesome"... leave out that line and it was a perfectly good post.
Probably camp outside his gaff on the Costa, Blunder!
What's with the snide comments, are you jealous I met him and you didn't? He wasn't very talkative...

You are a sensitive soul, aren't you.
For a thirty year old third choice striker? Yeah, although there's still (at least) even games left to play, he could do a Sheringham and become an instant legend scoring when it matters.
Though I can see him leaving if he has a long contract extension in mind.

smilie means shit just got real. All bets are off when you pull that badboy out of the hat.You ran up the car and told him he was a useless cnut didn't you.
As for the story..... 12million?
The
ha ha. The
is just the best WU of all time, it should be removed from the caf, it's like bringing out out a bazooka to battle a hand gun.I expect Saf to have a bit of a clear out this summer.When he was bought Saf admitted to not knowing how to best use him and with Hernandez showing such promise on his debut maybe he could consider letting him go.

I actually asked him if he was gonna have a good season (was back in early Sep) but he didn't appear to understand my accent.
We paid £30m for Veron and sold him for £13m and he was a few years younger than what Berb is, I think this is a fair indication considering the similarities between the two...
As far as I can remember we paid 28million for Veron and sold him for 15, but Berbatovs been far more a success than Veron ever was.
I dont think that can even be debated.
12million for the premier leagues top scorer? No thanks.

Other factors that affect the price is how important is he for the selling team, how old is he and how far left is he on his contract. I think Berbatov has been brilliant this season but he is far from one of our most important players IMO. Being 30 and having one (?) season left in his contract makes 12 million sound ok to me.
Fair point about his contract, I didn't realise he only had a year left.
Aside from that I'd say he's pretty important for the team, he's our top scorer,and at 30 he's hardly over the hill, particularly given his style of play.
There's no way in hell I'd let him go for 12million.
This story is fabricated, the league's top scorer will be at utd next season, I mean according to the media Evra and Vidic should both be signed up with Spanish outfits by now! Next year we will have Rooney, Berba, Hernandez and Welbeck; they will all get games because utd play nigh on 60 games a season, many with two strikers up front.
Madness.
Ok we know we overpaid by a significant amount but selling him now makes no sense unless we have someone else lined up. Also the offer would have to be nearer £18m for it to make financial sense for United.
Macheda, Welbeck, Diouf will return from being on loan. I suspect Diouf will be sold and Macheda will go on loan again.

I think his goals won't be very difficult to replace from elsewhere. Given how rarely he plays big matches, there are several more important players than him in our squad.
I am not saying I want Berbatov to be sold, I'm just saying that if he was to be, then 12 million is decent money for someone in his situation.
You really are desparate to be proven right about this aren't you, you keep changing the goalposts. A season of 21 goals in 22 league starts which will probably propel us to number 19 isn't enough then, he has to score "when it matters", even though he probably won't appear all that much due to the outstanding form of another striker. For the record, Sheringham scored 5 goals in 26 appearances in the Treble year. Two important goals yes, but we wouldn't have been anywhere near that position if all of our forwards had been playing to the level Sheringham had been.
To be fair feeky, he does say "he could do a Sheringham and become an instant legend scoring when it matters" so I guess he knows the stats on Teddy.
The hat trick against the dippers sort of mattered though didn't it?
The club opened contract talks with Berbatov back in February, suggests to me he'll be staying.
Fair enough. I disagree with the assertion that the early part of the season "doesn't matter" though, it stopped not mattering when Mourinho came to England. I reckon that he's saying it because he knows the likelihood is slim due to probable limited appearances, so he can salvage something at the end of what has been a fairly demoralising year.
I didn't write the article Feeky, I posted it for discussion and others are clearly accepting it as a possibility and as Sharky points out, I said he could revitalize his career by scoring some important goals in the remaining games so pack it in...
Yeah course it did but he's still to do the biz at the tail-end of any of his three seasons, so hopefully in the remaining games this year, and I'd love nothing more than him to score versus Arsenal, Chelsea, Schalke etc...
It's not that the early part of the season does not matter its just that there is less pressure as you have more chances of recovering dropped points but as the season starts to draw nearer then there is the added pressure of not having many games left if you drop points.
Say you need a goal - is there more pressure at the start of the game or the end when you still require the goal. Obvious.
Forlan (10m), Diouf, Wellbeck and Macheda IN
Berbatov (12m) OUT
Good business.

No, you merely posted a completely made-up story so you could attempt to justify your continued assertion that he's not good enough, despite all the evidence showing different, whilst also changing the goalposts for the 500th time.
First it was he wasn't scoring enough, then not enough winners, now it's "well, we'll see can he score in the last few games of the season", despite the probablility of him starting regularly being fairly low.
Why do we need to look when we already have one. Its not like Michael Owen can't score goals.
Yet he was comfortable with Rooney, Saha and Solskjaer with Alan Smith still on the road to recovery in 2006.... Sure, there was quality in the bottom line up but 2 of them had been injury wrecks in previous seasons and the 4th was not even close to being ready until 2 3rds through the season. Owen can score goals and Wellbeck is a promising talent.
Feeky, I'm being subjective here so I'd like you to stop targeting me in order to continue a debate over something you claim I'm bringing up, yet it's you who flies off the handle over the slightest criticism of Berbatov.
Can I just point out to others, Feeky claims I have an agenda which depending on your opinion may be true. But Feeky's Twitter profile has the kid in a United shirt, draped in a green & gold scarf with his arms crossed in a militaristic stance like a suicide bomber and has his description as being 'Berba-loving United fan'.
Who has the bigger agenda, me annoyed at him underperforming or Feeky annoyed because someone criticizes the man he declares to love...???
If it was Bayern after him and he had said Munich were after him I bet you wouldn't have said anything.
