A bit odd considering he still plays that role for us... Its like SAF openly admits made a mistake but continued to play him as a SS and put Rooney up front as a CF
Point conceded but I feel Anderson has shown a lot promise and this is definitely his make or break season as last season was Nani's. I also think that Anderson is a bigger prospect than Nani in the long term. It isn't an easy feat to establish yourself as a central midfielder and judging from the Anderson of last season before he got injured, I am very excited and hopeful for things to come.
Has it been posted that VDV says this is inevented bollocks and that he never said any of it or talked to any media.
Wouldn't VDV's role and Berbatov role in a current Manchester United team overlap? Considering we tend to play Berba with Rooney, i think i would rather Berbatov dropping deep, than having a playmaker like VDV who doesn't contribute to any defensive duties. We would get raped each and every time we meet a decent opposition.
source on that?
I think it was more Berbatov was playing as deep as an attacking midfielder and now he's playing as deep as a withdrawn striker, had nothing to do with Rooney's position because he's been playing right up top for over 3 years now regardless of partners.
Their roles can't over lap because one is a playmaking striker and the other is an attacking midfield playmaker.
Well with Berba last season Rooney was definately pushed further up the pitch, before that he was usually playing on the left or in 2008 when he, Ronaldo and Tevez were all interchanging so much it was hard to say where either of them would play.
I was only commenting on someone saying that SAF admited fault with playing Berbatov in a deeper role in his first season yet he still play a similar role now
According to Spanish daily AS, Van Der Vaart has said "I have not spoken to any English newspaper. It was invented."
He insisted, "I want to fight as usual."
Papers are saying that he has officially been put on the market for anyone who would pay around 16 million Euro. Schalke first team to express an interest supposedly.
Imo, very good player and this amount of money is not too much for his quality. He would do well in a team that gives him consistent chance for 1st team football. Good technique, vision and also contributes with goals frequently.

Has he played more of a striker for Spurs this season?
I wouldn't call it a striker, more like the attacking midfielder supporting the striker.
He's played far closer to the front man than the middle 2.
I agree but he's still put his shift in in midfield though. In fact his workrate and willingness to get back and help out has been my biggest surprise so far with him.
So he's upfront but putting in his shift in midfield. That's that settled.
Greatest signing to grace the PL. Can't believe how blessed we are to watch him week in week out.
I'm presuming (and hoping) you only mean this season?
