I know you say nobody would be happier than you if Berbatov became the hero but that's a crock dude. You'd still wish it was someone else that did it
Yep.
Berbatov vs Van Persie

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Yep.
I would like Sniejder too.
Sneijder being an mid fielder would last longer and would be perfect because we currently need a CM the most and his age will not hinder the progress and emergence of the young talented midfielders that are coming through our academy.

Because I criticise him doesn't mean I don't want him to succeed mate, I honestly don't. It's just I think he's not the right for us, we're far better with more conventional strikers upfront in the formation that suits us best, or strategy is a better word which is attacking with speed, not holding up play.
I've done threads which I've openly praised him too Bob, I didn't think at the time 'I'm gonna deliberately hate him regardless how he does', I always want every United player to do well.
But if you asked me who I'd love to score the winning goal? Ideally Michael Owen would be amazing irony although I doubt he'll play, I would love Giggsy to get it although I honestly don't care who gets it because we are gonna win.
To be honest, I bet Berbatov can do that. It isn't as hard as it looks. Even tennis players such as Nadal and Murray can do it.
RVP is a better player; always liked his playing style.
Berbatov is capable of certain things that no other strikers in world football are; and he's been great for us for large parts of this season, but still falls short.

I think you're forgetting Suarez and Kuyt.
No.
At the end of last season I said it was SAF time to either stick with Berba or sell him and I said selling him at that time made no sense and thus we should keep him and offer him an extension. Selling him now makes even less sense unless we give him a two year extension and then sell him which is not the way we operate.
Maybe not, but I've seen a significant enough minority here who see his touch and instantly conclude Zlatan is a poor man's Berbatov that I felt it worth anticipating those.
Carroll on the scrap heap already?I think you're forgetting Suarez and Kuyt.
Van Persie is Arsenal's main striker and Berbatov is our 3rd striker who just won the golden boot.
Nah. But he's been injured and in and out of the team. Kuyt has been in terrific form under Dalglish and has linked up really well with Suarez.
Cesc would you call Van Persie a consistent free kick taker and/or an excellent free kick taker? I've seen him score some absolute belters and hit the bar with a few others but I thought he seemed infuriatingly hit and miss.
Probably tries too much with his free-kicks... Like you said though, he's hit and miss. But I'd still say he is up with the best of them in the league.
