Cheers Berbs, thanks for the memories.
Berbatov | Fulham player

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.
To be honest Evra, they tried to get him only after they failed in RVP, Cavani, Llorente and Jovetic. With saying that I think that he without a problem could have been their main striker but 1.8M per year was not even near enough for a player like him.
Yeah that could be part of it too, no reason for Juve to lie about it. I reckon though if they had suggested he'd be playing a big role etc then he probably would have gone, but who knows. Just hope he gets his move somewhere he wants to go.
This is all fair enough. Both good points. But I have never heard of a player who has a lot of talent who turns down a massive club playing CL football for Fulham
It’s crazy. I am genuinely disappointed he is not going to Juve
Yeah but that's fair enough, Berba has been marginalized at united for the last 18 months, if you're looking for a player you're probably gonna want players who have been playing regularly before you move for other talents.
Completely agree. He would have get more money for a year in United that for those 2 years in Juve together, and a player that is 31 of course that money does matter.
Sad the inevitable is finally happening - wish him the absolute best. Hope he gets a fantastic reception when he comes back to OT
Of course that neither Berba nor Juve will not say that the transfer wasn't made cause of money. But from some reports i read that juve offered about 35/40K a week while Fulham have offered about 80K so I think that this is the main reason.
I cannot believe that he didn't went to Juventus because he liked England or Fulham more.
I look forward to watching him at Fulham 
I'm sure he'll get a good sing-along if we're cruising at Craven Cottage later this season.
Straight into my fantasy football team now, get him while he's cheap.
Berbatov and Bryan Ruiz play together. Should be fun to watch.
Thanks and good luck to Berbatov! Looking forward to his return to OT next year.

Good move for everyone that
This.
It's a shame, I know I'm hard on Berbatov but I can't help but think that this is typical of a player that has been in 3 Champions League finals with 2 different clubs but never started one of them. He just doesn't have the drive to take his talent the very top of where it could be.
Bye.
hope he does well at Fulham (just not when they play us )
he was a good player who made his contribution for us so I wish him well.

Thanks for the memories Berbagol!
Probably wants to stay in England and the PL and took up the only offer for him here.
And we also know Berbatov is not one of those who will really fight for a new challenge abroad at this stage of his career.

All the best Berba. Thanks for your goals in our 19th title season, especially the hat-trick against the scousers
So Fulham it is. Good luck Berba, you'll not be forgotten
I would have loved to see him play against us, especially at OT, will have to wait for it.

Wish him all the best and, though it has been on the cards for over a year, I'm still gutted to see him move on. Class, class player.
While I'll be shit scared he'll score against us, I'm glad he's still in this league and I'm sure he'll get a cracking reception.

Marvelous technician and a modest person, but languid and lazy beyond acceptance, so I'm glad he's going.
Wish him well for the future and thanks for all the memories.

just a misfit that was not his fault.......

Berbatov, one of my favorite United players.
I'm happy he'll be staying in England. I hope he becomes an important player for Fulham.

waste of money
He seems to be a bit of a sensitive soul and all. I'd imagine being somewhat frozen out of things towards the end of his career here would have affected his confidence a little. Weighing everything up though, he probably thinks it's best to just play regularly rather than have to put up with another season like he did last year in one of the prime years of his career (and in another country). He's proven that he can do it in this league and will most probably play week in, week out. I'd do the same tbh. But you make a fair point.
Would've been great to see him for a club like Juve though. Or just to see how he'd perform in Italy.
should I put a fiver on the possibility of Berba outscoring every one of our strikers this year?
might not be such a bad call, seeing as we've got so many options we're bound to rotate, and with his ability he should cement a place in the starting XI, and Fulham do look like scoring goals so far

I love him. One of my favourite players. I hope he does brilliantly at Fulham.
Agreed with all of this. Thanks for the memories and all those important goals!
Oh how I thought he would become the next Cantona in our team when we signed him.
What a great thread the Berbatov thread was. Legendary.
I love how people try to psychoanalyse the man by pointing to his style on the pitch as evidence for him lacking any "drive." He pretty much scored in every opportunity he was given last season, he also kicked up a fuss wanting to move to United from Tottenham. He's probably just happy in the country and has a family to think about.
Happy to see him stay in the Premier League to be honest. Hope he's first choice and does well.
We just made Fulham a better team, than they were.
Best of everything, Bulgarian Maestro.

He's way to good for Fulham. Easily still good enough for Arsenal, Spurs and Liverpool IMO. Only United and City in the Premiership who have players to good for him.
After a season there people will be talking about his as a top player again.
Edit: missed the talk of Juve and Fiorentina. Typical Berbatov I suppose.

Expect to see at him Liverpool next summer, would've much preferred him moving abroad. He'll be superb at Fulham and the likes of Liverpool will be all over him next year I reckon.
Yep, big deal.
The good part is, we get to watch him every week in the PL. I have a feeling though that soon one of the bigger clubs here will go for him. Especially if he had a strong half or a full season.this may even be part of the plan. More exposure if he wants to stay in England
if he scored for Fulham against us would people be pissed off if he celebrated like a mad man!
if he does that would be a first!
