Agreed. So many rediculous comments about him not fitting into our team.
You'd think we didn't score any goals last season with the constant moaning about getting a 'real' striker.

BERBATOFF FOR £24M
EXCLUSIVE by AIDAN MAGEE
DIMITAR BERBATOV will join Manchester United for £24million — as soon as Tottenham land a replacement.
A deal has been struck in principle between Spurs and United, with the Bulgarian striker ready to sign a four-year contract worth £80,000 a week — double his present salary.
But even though Spurs are resigned to losing the 27-year-old, they have asked United to delay the transfer until they can bag another target man.
Boss Juande Ramos sees Blackburn’s Roque Santa Cruz, 26, as the ideal man to fill Berbatov’s boots and will now step up the chase for the Paraguayan.
A Spurs source said: “Ramos was resigned to losing Berbatov from the moment he took over but he won’t let him go unless there is somebody already in to replace him.
“United will give Spurs a bit of time — but Ramos cannot afford to wait too long.”

its happening...expect a press conference within the week
Is Berba. better than Santa Clauz?
O.K. I trust you.
On the guy who actually wants to play for us and won't feck off to Real in three or four years?
On the other hand, people want us to sign Ibrahimovic or Ronaldinho and say Fergie would sort them out. If Berbatov has an attitude problem (big if), then Fergie will certainly know how to handle this.
He's said that?
"But even though Spurs are resigned to losing the 27-year-old, they have asked United to delay the transfer until they can bag another target man."
What's the point of that?

If that is the case, then I hope Spurs sign which ever striker they are after quickly because it would be good if Berbatov could join our preseason tour in South Africa.
As dell boy once said:I know, it's Bullshit
All this paper non sense is just filler I think
Is that the best they could come up with.
In all seriousness it looks like United have their man.
I for one am DELIGHTED. All the doubters will have a plate with their words on it and , and... a knife and fork, soon enough!
Berbatov is far from moribund.

I'm over the moon with the fact Berbatov rumours are gaining momentum. I think he is the perfect striker for us and although I rate players such as Benzema or Huntelaar, I think Berbatov suits the bill perfectly. I crave the day he signs for us.
Just what we need, Berbatov will really improve our team
Don't ever trust transfer news on a sunday.
Sign Berbs and play him, Rooney, Tevez and Ronaldo upfront 
Seriously I don't believe anything until it's officially announced. £24m would sound about right though.

No. He was asked whether he liked the Spanish league. To which he replied that he'd love to play there one day. I think he's said the same about the PL, as well.
Are those quotes for real and from a reliable source?

All just seems typical paper talk on a Sunday. Most of us just have a feeling that something is actually going on with this transfer, unlike most Sunday talk.
Who are we supposed to believe?
The press who have at least some contacts in the industry, or you, who we know nothing about?
I wonder how many of you were complaining about signing Yorke from Villa for the record fee and how many of you experts were "convinced" that we payed over the odds and that he's not the right striker for us
I doubt there were many people who were completely happy with the Yorke signing (at the time). But for every Yorke, there is a Bellion/Djemba-Djemba or Miller etc....
The bottom line is that nobody can ever tell what will happen and we can only debate it on a forum.
For what it's worth, I think Berbatov is a fine player but I think we could do with an "out and out" striker instead....but I'm sure that he'll be a good buy, if we were to get him.

It's absurd ain't it? So many happy people if ronaldo leaves. We'd still be better then most
Berbatov won't flop in that way. He is a proven Permiership striker with great abilities, no a noname like Djemba-Djemba those days.
Yeah and I didn't even mention Giggs, who will certainly still play a big part this year, with or without Cnut.
Well I know that...I was just saying that nobody knows how a signing will turn out.....
Fergie's best buys have been the players he's been tracking for a bit. As for the players you've mentioned, Fergie made a few bad signings during that period. But since he's been on the money.
And I agree with it mate, to a certaint extent at least.
I'm not his biggest fan, but if he could replicate something like this during his time here, I'd warm to him

+ if he gets a haircut
I don't really think it's a question of 'if' anymore - it's not far from happening I believe.
While your here Glaston, expand on this and make us salivate with excitement.

Why should we replace Ronaldo with a striker?
Because Ronaldo was playing as a striker in most of our biggest games last season.
There's nothing I want to add, but it's almost certain that Berbatov will be playing for you next season.While your here Glaston, expand on this and make us salivate with excitement.
It is funny that when it comes to Ronaldo it's all paper bollocks but when it's Berbatov, it's seemingly more credible......
Our system permits Ronaldo to play in a more advanced role due to the fact that we have two midfielders (Scholes and Hargreaves/Carrick) working hard to win the ball for all the others. Stating that he is still a winger. The only way you can play Tevez, Rooney and Berbatov together is to shift to a 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 system (similar to the AC Milan system). There again
a) the risk of producing little from the flanks is great.
b) we would still need to bring in another striker (apart from Berbatov) since you are replacing a player (Ronaldo) with another player (Rooney)
Id love to see Rooney playing in his natural role ie that of a link man just behind the main striker.
