Another great find by our scouting team - this kid must already be worth double of what we paid for him...
Triple now

I'm in the Solskjaer comparison camp. He just knows exactly where to be, and he'll get you that all-important late winner. Great stuff from him today.
post 1242He reminds me of Law. His sudden acceleration, opportunism to take chances.
Any of the older reds agree?
I think this little character is going to be the signing you all hoped for, and the main reason Fergie hasn't splashed around lots of money.
Watch him tear defences apart next season.
One to watch.

"He looks more like Denis Law every time I see him. Has the knack of being in the right place at the right time and being able to execute clinically. Moves like Law too. "
He's decent and adjusted far quicker to the league than I'd have thought, but I think there's yet more to see from him. He looked a bit stressed today when he got the ball but confidence will come with time, especially as he seems to get into scoring positions with ease so he's bound to score some more. I'd say he'll get 15 in all competitions by the end of season.
watch Real sniffing around next season. Gill better get his finger out and tie him to an improved contract in the summer for 5 years or summat.
same here
Now now I think you are taking it too far. I agree he is going to be brilliant for us in the coming years but I doubt Real is going to want him. They have pretty young strikers anyways - Higuain, Ronaldo and Benzema.

Odds on him finishing top scorer at the club come May? worth a punt i reckon.
Anyone else catch what Gary Nev had to say about him on MOTD2?
Nothing but high, high praise.
Said about how he's a great player, excellent finisher and how he works so hard in training and in matches for the team in games. Really top lad as well apparently.
"One of the best young prospects I've seen at this club in a long long time"

Berbarito is the most prolific strike partnership, bar none. Which is amazing when you think how last season's narrative was that we couldn't score for shit without Rooney.
Scoring goals is not a problem this season, keeping them out is.
Malouda's had to play that much because the rest of their forward line has been consistently injured.
For all his talents, Rooney seems to struggle to form a decent strike partnership.
Berbatov linked up brilliantly with Keane throughout his time at Spurs and has looked much more likely to repeat this feat with Hernandez (or even Owen) than he has with Rooney.
