I loved watching Berba, agreed he wasn't a great for us. But, as previously reported, the first time I saw him play was a rainy evening game at OT. A ball was hoofed up into the air, Dimitar glanced at it, put down his book by Kante and glass of slivovic, strolled over, absently stuck his foot out, and by some kind of Slavic magic the ball stopped, dead. I saw him perform the same thing umpteen times. He it was worth the price just to see that.

I respect your opinion 52 but I'd rather a less gifted player that tries his heart out over a few silky touches.
SAF never fully trusted Berba despite making such an effort to sign him.
I think he knew pretty quickly that the signing was a mistake.

Oh I agree Process, there's a lot more than trapping a ball, but it was just such a magic skill.

I love watching players like Berbatov but I guess we were fortunate enough to have others who could step up when he wasn't doing enough so we could still enjoy those moments of skill. In a squad with far less options I can imagine Berbatov would become far more frustrating.

He was bloody frustrating back then. People have short memory who think otherwise.

I find it mad that people say Messi or Ronaldo are the GOAT when clearly they are not.

This is pretty definitive.
I never said those players can’t be considered the goat. I was questioning your logic when it comes to best and how it contradicts what you say about Maradona.
It’s not my fault you are unable to follow these simple points.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes it is a difinitive statement of my opinion Which I stand by.
Maradona was more well documented on TV and film than others before him. And I only saw him play once in real life. I saw Best more. Which is probably more times than most people have with their own goats. Like you probably..But not as much as those players who followed him.... but enough to form a valid opinion.
I cant believe you are having trouble with this.

It was.
He was on Gary Neville's soccerbox not so long ago and he was almost proud of the fact that he didn't run much.
It actually annoyed me because I was thinking what a player he could have been with more effort.

You keep contradicting yourself, would seem you’re the one having trouble. I don’t really care now.

Contradict and definitive proclamation. Big words to play with on here.
Pointless is on the TV right now if you want to catch it. Your cup of tea, me thinks.

I’ve already been playing Pointless with this discussion, it would seem.

Rooney and fletcher

Right now the team would need a CF and a CM.
So for me it would be Rooney and Butt.
Would've picked Kanchelskis, but we are ok for wide players.
Shame it ended like it did for him at OT, think he could have gone on to be an all time PL great.
