whats the point of keeping berba

baffles me as to why he didn't start on thursday. he'd at least have helped with ball retention. also, his games to goal ratio this season is impressive. i'd be sad to see him leave.

I said at the end of last season if someone offers £10-£15m then we should sell. Unfortunately berbatov doesn't fit the man utd style. However he still has his good days so lets hope saf uses him to rotate our strikers from burnout.

Me too, well a little bit anyway.

But if he's not fancied then why on earth did we keep him? There wouldn't be lack of clubs interested that's for sure. In the right team playing the right way, Berba is still world class. He is a great technical player. But he slows it down to much for my liking. When we slow it down and let teams get men behind the ball, we really struggle.

90,000 to not even be on the bench though is pure nonsense. Only Fergie could get away with it as well.

That's just ridiculous. I said last season that he wasn't the answer. And neither is Hernandez. And Welbeck is unproven.

I think berbatov will be remembered for his miss against everton in fa cup semi-final his performance in the 1-2 defeat against chelsea at OT and the fa cup semi-final defeat to man city.

However he has his good moments, I reckon his hat-trick against liverpool probably won us the title as we were going through a period of throwing games away like fulham away west brom home etc before he did an incredible hat-trick after throwing another 2 goal lead.

Forgot meant everton away throwing away 2 goal lead in stoppage time. So that win was vital.

Berbatov just doesn't fit into our style of play, no matter how you dress it up he makes us play a much slower game.

I personally think he is suited for different games like maybe today when the game will be crowded. Our OT form last year was great as berbatov helped a bit with hernandez form as well and rooney and nani scoring important goals with park as well.

This year at OT we have some good games but those tight games we cannot score we have the same strikers on. Berbatov showed last year against bolton he can do it.

Its strange he was scoring goals and was dropped virtually for half of last season.

Regurgitated bullshíte.

For the most part, we do not play slower with him on the pitch... We play deeper. It compacts the space that Rooney operates in and that is why he doesn't play often.

We rarely play that fast counter attacking football of the past... Be it with Berba, Chico or Welbeck...

Anyway, Berba should leave... He is too good to be treated like this... The moment he saw Owen's name on that CL final teamsheet... He should have put in a transfer request... One of the worst decisions SAF ever made
