feck me that's a shit deal
Have you ever played a game of football? It's also nonsense. Berbatov, like most players, always made a point of acknowledging those who made his goals.
Another fantastic post, you truly are a cretin.
Winning the golden boot would make most players "undroppable". It's not ridiculous, the buck stops with SAF and he has made huge mistakes when it comes to his dealings with Berba.
I imagine we were willing to jump at any offer Berbatov would be happy with given that he's not in our first team plans and is probably hovering around the 100,000/week mark in wages. Maybe this'll free up the money for the bumper contract lots of people on here are wanting for Nani.
I'm glad for Berbs, Fiorentina are a decent side and like a lot of people I reckon he'd do well in Italy.
Thought I had logged into RAWK for a minute then, FFS yes a good player but a tad OTT.
This thread need a song about Florence
Wow. So we're basically giving him away for 5 peanuts over 3 years.Either his wages are way over the top or his reputation across europe is in the gutter. Else why isnt a better team taking him for that.
I cant help it if every time you post in this thread it has insane comedic value.
Or it's factually incorrect.
The story? Wouldnt be surprised.
Italian clubs do not have cash, Inter Milan have signed Mudingay for 750k (payable in 3 yrs) from Bologna
So what exactly do you disagree with? Instead of resorting to smilies why not actually use words for a change? You know, actually contribute to the forum.

Or like you know, other ex reds who never kicked up a fuss were always allowed to leave for cheap money. Like Wes Brown was sold for peanuts etc etc. I think it also helps in the players earning more wages.
I'm glad we do it that way. We always look out for our players when possible. feck me, aren't you a tad bitter.
I disagree with you looking at Berbatov and seeing an angel.
My main memory of him will be this...
I think its fair to say he was a bit better than Spurs... just bad timing for him.
Hope he does well in Italy.
You aren't being specific, that's just a lame escape. What in particular did you disagree with in that post?
You're going to compare our record signing with long serving backup players who dont receive much interest ?
If we're letting him go for little to nothing and better clubs arent interested theres obviously something up. Or they rate him as highly as the player you just compared him to.
The ridiculous idea that its Sir Alex's fault that PSG think Lavezzi is a better player and arent interested in him even as a backup.
Tomorrow could be the day, 3 yrs contract, 2.5 million €/yr.
His agent, Emil Dantchev, will be in Florence in the next hours.

Pretty much one of the players I never wanted to United and still think that signing him was one of the biggest mistakes from Fergie. Almost every time I felt uncomfortable watching United when he was on the pitch. I always thought that his quality was Spurs not United.
Anyway he made a big contribution in the first half of 2010-2011 season when he lead our attack. Shit at big games and in Champions but he had his moments of brilliance in some league games. I would remember always his hat trick against Liverpool which was absolutely brilliant.
Another positive note of him was his professionalism which probably was the best I ever seen.
I think that in Fiorentina he could be a good job and after Jovetic he would be their main man. Also hopefully Serie A style would be a bonus for him.
Farewell Berba!

Bloody hell, The Magic Roundabout's changed since I was a kid...
If SAF wasn't going to play him for a season he should have sold him when PSG were interested. Even if you refuse to accept that they were interested the question still remains unanswered: Why did SAF activate that clause when he was just intent on wasting a year of Berba's career? I mean look at Berba's goals to games ratio last season; it's not like he didn't perform when called upon.
I will miss this thread 
Do you seriously think that SAF kept him at the club only to waste him a year? That's ridiculous. Fergie kept him at the club cause he wanted four quality strikers at the club. Now we have added RVP and Kagawa so he don't have a place here. And it's not Fergie's fault that Chicha and Welbeck are better than him and more suited to our style of play.
They demonstrably are not.
Poor Berbs, so much talent but just too introspective.
They are. And they contribute more than him. And they run. And they don't start 10 games to don't score in none of them.
Honestly if you think Welbeck and Hernandez are better footballers than Berbatov then you should join a lacrosse forum or something, because you know feck all about football. That last sentence of yours was an absolute abortion by the way.
Welbeck offers more and in total is more effective in more areas. He also links up better with Rooney and our wingers.
Berbatov is technically a better footballer though
Where is Welbeck's golden boot? He started last year because of his age and the fact he came through the academy. He is inferior to Berbatov in every respect except pace.
My post came off pretty badly there (one of the hazards of posting on a tiny blackberry screen)
He was important in 10-11 but everything is overshadowed by that price tag, if he had been brought for half the price people would likely be far more happy, however when you spend more than 30 million on anyone you except them to be pretty exceptional which Berba never was for us.
As nice as he was to watch at times he was always equally as frustrating (that bloody chance he missed against City in the FA cup! Argh! In fact I think there were two chances he should of put away)
I played Lacrosse for many years but I still think that the Berbs is vastly superior to Welbeck and Hernandez. 48 goals in 77 games for Bulgaria and he topped the Premier League scoring charts in a title winning season for us. Welbeck and Hernandez have a long way to go to match up to the Berbs - and neither of them will ever dazzle with the kind of technique that the Berbs unleashed in his pomp.
So he did get games is what you're saying. Now see why its worth keeping an extra option? Why wouldnt we have used the extra year of his contract? We're talking about our record signing going for free. Thats the absolute worst outcome when you sign him.
We dont know how interested PSG were I certainly cant remember anything official. But if Berbatov's goals to games and performances were so impressive when he played last season why arent PSG taking him on the cheap as a squad player? Or a better team in Serie A than Fiorentina?
It would seem that you're far more easily impressed by Berbatov than managers in europe, why do you think that is?
If we knew that Welbeck was going to gel with the team far better than Berbatov and keep him out of the team, sure we might as well have sold him last summer. But this is hindsight. Perhaps the manager was expecting more resistance and to see more from Berbatov in training and on match days.
We're talking about a player he believed in enough to shatter our transfer record, compare to Cantona, play him in the team despite playing badly for the first third or more of his United career and so on. Why is it so easy for you to make out like Sir Alex hated him or something when the majority of his time with us was a clear statement of exactly the opposite?
What a load of nonsense.
Welbeck followed in the footsteps of Hernandez the season before and Tevez before that, in displacing Berbatov from the starting lineup at least in the business end of the season.
None of them were played because they came through the academy or due to age. They were picked because Sir Alex prefered their chemistry with Rooney.
And since Rooney is better than Berbatov the front line is picked around him. If Berbatov was better than Rooney, we'd be picking whoever suits playing next to him. Thats just never been the case.
Berba is clearly a better footballer than Chicha and Welbeck currently. Just that he doesn't suit our style. In the long future, Welbeck and Chicha might become better, who knows, but for now Berba is better. He has that technique and first touch not many have.
Will miss you Berbs x
I disagree. Also I don't think Welbeck will ever win a golden boot. Doubt he will ever be a 20+ goals a season player.
Welbeck offered far more work rate, and linked up far better with all out players than Berbs ever did.
I also think he is a more determined player. Been able to move him wide and deep when required was also a big plus
Again we will get nowhere with this. At least we won't have to keep on arguing over him. After the past few years I can honestly say I am tired of Berbatov discussions.
By better footballers I don't mean that they have better techniques or something, just that we play better when they are on pitch and have a better chance of winning.
Also, Berbatov is the most inconsistent player I have ever seen in a United shirt. The worst player in big matches I have ever seen.
ekeke is notorious Berbatov hater, so not surprised by his last few comments.
Sure its well known in Berbatov threads that like Sir Alex, I hate Berbatov
ffs
