As little as Spurs did inside the final third, Berbatovs touches played a part in what they actually did.
He only had 30 mins to make a difference, and I believe he did, but still wasn't enough.

I want my god damn berbatov shirt, finish the fecking transfer already
I know ya, that was a ridiculous comment about the subs. It makes it easier for the manager and gives more tactical options depending on how the game is going.
He's living in the past, back in his day when there was only one sub.
I agree with him about Modric though. He has alot of work to do based on what I saw today.
There is no way Blackburn will let Santa Cruz go. Forget him.
So you like Berbatov?
Quite a few times to be honest if it's not a long trip.
I went into a cold sweat thinking 'Benni McCarthy'
We know how fergie likes a cheap option......
he didn't do a lot and the bent chance aside they were kinda limp. Also someone of his quality, you'd expect to make a difference when players are tiring so the one or two things he did, he should do with his ability
For me there was nothing much, from our point of view is fine. Spurs lost and Berbatov will probably end up at United
About lou, watching mutv it's clear he doesn't want berbatov. He's not keen on the fee (because of his age) and questions his character so it's not surprising he wants to see us bring in someone different
I don't think Sir Alex was scouting btw. You never know though -gulp-
We could get Santa Cruz for cheaper than Berbatov. He's not good enough, but that's just stupid.
If we didn't show any interest in Berbatov then he would be in the exact same situation as Santa Cruz.
He's handed in a Transfer Request

I'm genuinely amazed at the amount of people who are in a thread called "Berbatov" but keep mentioning alternative targets and/or criticising the one player Fergie wants to sign and who will almost certainly end up playing for United within a fortnight.
Some simple facts for you.
SAF has identified Berbatov as the player we need.
SAF is almost never wrong when it comes to signing strikers. He's an ex-striker himself and this shows in his transfer dealings. His record in signing top strikers is second to none. The closest a striker that SAF signed has ever come to being a flop (Forlan) went on to top score in La Liga, the following season.
If SAF wants Berbatov, then he is exactly the player we need. Not Villa, not Pavyluchenko, not Santa fecking Cruz.
We are also far too far down the road in this saga to suddenly change our target. That has never happened before and it won't now. When SAF identifies a target, the only way he ever gives up is if another club gazumps us.
I know that debate is healthy but the sooner you gimps wake up, smell the coffee and take these facts on board the better.

I agree there ya. He doesn't want Berbatov.
When Lou is on and transfers are being mentioned, as soon as money is mentioned, Lou isn't interested
.....A friend of Berbatov is quoted in the Sun as saying.....
spot on.
B E R B A F A P
I'm so pleased it looks like we've finally got him.

the only one he's keen on at any price is messi
the sun was right

Spot on. But the phrase "pissing against the wind" comes to mind.
Good post. Somehow the 'Modric is shit and won't make it' crap sums up the last 20 pages of this thread.
sign Ashton
It was shown at 6ish and 7ish at least. No idea where they were, all I can tell you is that Berbatov had suit trousers on and a dark shirt. Berbs got into the driving seat as though it was his car. They were both smiling.
We are getting him on Monday. He'll be flying in, have his medical and unveil by Sir Alex.
Watch this space.
Now watch the Sun pick up on this for tomorrow's headline.

Berbullshit?
poyet on 5 live, asked
"is there any update on the future of berbatov"
"he came on for 20 minutes, very professional so er we will just have to Wait and see"

you simply can't write off a player after one game in a new league, and that the first one.
plenty of players have struggled their first few games, sometimes even their first season. look at Evra, to name a recent example.
once they know what this league is about, they will be able to kick on. i can't say Modric will do that, but to write him off is foolish.
Fergie is stubborn so if it is berbatov we want, we will get him. We waited for Hargreaves, Ruud and we'll be patient again. Some people are too flippant and that's just how it is.
It doesn't mean they're wrong, it's just they cannot handle the pressure but Sir alex can. I mean, look at all the people that wanted ronaldo gone because they'd had enough. I think Sir Alex, ultimately knew the score better and got a better result so patience
If anything it's the cnuts in the media that have as much to blame as anyone because no one knows how far we are or how close the deal actually is

Well, if we miss on Berba, I would rather take Ashton than Santa feckin' Cruz... At least he is publicly declared as United fan.
Dong, Bellion? Maybe at a stretch Saha?
When fit, Saha is one of the best strikers around. He was immense for the first half of last season, and if he stayed fit, I don't doubt that he would play most matches for us.
dong and Bellion were never first 4...and Saha is brilliant when not injured...
The Times and The Mirror are reporting the same thing on Berbs' transfer request.
they lost....that'll teach the cnuts
Saha was superb for us. When fit.
Dong and Bellion were punts on kids, not players he was signing to play for the first-team straight away.
Besides, even Bellion, for all his sins, has developed into a decent player. One of the highest scorers in France last season, IIRC.
I'm still a big fan of Saha, but I wouldn't think that he has justified his transfer fee over the course of the 4(?) years he's been with us.
I did say at a stretch though.
What would give you that impression?
Well after reading between the lines, I was pretty sure about it.
no offence, but what exactly do you understand by 'almost never wrong'?
given SAF's longevity, that's he's made so few mistakes in that department rather makes Pogue's point.
I went into a cold sweat thinking 'Benni McCarthy'
We know how fergie likes a cheap option......
McCarthy was kept out of the side by Jason Roberts, who was also the best forward on show today. Then Yakubu. Then Santa Cruz. But Santa Cruz was the one who put the ball in the back of the net.
