Thanks: Gave 183, Got 186 | Berb - time for Ferie to admit he made a mistake?
Fergie paid £31.75million for the striker, yet failed to play him in the biggest game they have played in years.
Does this admit that Fergie made a huge mistake?
He is a very stubborn man and will probably never admit it, just like the money he wasted on Veron.

Off load Berbs = £15mill & Ronaldo = £70 we could buy a few decent players

I agree RMCF - he has been terrible all season. People say that his first touch is sublime, which it can be - but combine this with an inability to score and a lack of desire to chase anything more than 10 yards away from him - and it is not good enough. I too think we need to take it on the chin and offload him.

He was well overpriced but I wouldn't offload him. Still a quality player & fits in pretty well when United need to change things (last night aside). United don't play like the traditional 4-4-2 line up he's probably used to, their 2 roaming players score most the goals. But if Ronaldo is sold this summer United will have to change their system a little & I think you'll see alot more from Berbatov.

Get shot of him and get Bemzema from PSG.

I think Benzema plays for Lyon, but that doesn't really matteer.
I agree with everyone that he hasn't been very good and has not justifyed his price and place. I would have tevez all day long ahead of him

the issue is that he was used to playing alongside someone that would do all the running for him and its because he isn't playing as part of front 2 that he hasn't done much.

ahh i remember the same arguments about a certain Andy Cole, who certainly proved his doubters wrong the next season! I think we need to give Berbatov another year, the first one, like Cole, was spent adapting to being in a team who play football, rather than constantly feed a target man.

He's very much a team-player now - I never thought I'd say that!

I haven't been pleased with Berba's performances this season but the next one could be a blinder for him.

I agree with the post about Berba being a player who needs a second striker to play alongside.
I also agree that we've seen a transformation in Anelka, but he had made alot of mistakes in the past and was far too lazy so now perhaps he realises this the last big club he plays for so is pulling his finger out?
I honestly cannot see Berbatov scoring 15+ goals next season. I'd have Tevez over him any day.
