Tevez has more heart, determination and a better work ethic/rate than 95% of the players in Europe, let alone the Premier League. Can't see what's not to be a fan of.

In fact, you're the only Man U fan I know who wasn't a fan of Tevez. They were begging for a new contract.
Indeed. Perfect scenario would have been to keep Tevez, get Owen.

Reality is they should have never bought Berbatov. United could have then kept Tevez and would have had money to spare. Berbatov has hardly added anything and must go down as one of the most frivolous expenses ever.

Maybe. It might have been better if he'd just played really badly, we'd probably have sold him and kept Tevez. But he's merely been very mediocre, always threatening to become good enough but never managing it, and hence he's stuck around instead of superior players keeping everyone at United hoping against hope that he turns good eventually while not scoring enough to win us anything but enough to keep him in the team.

But the thing is, Berbatov looks like he can add a lot. The fact that he hasn't and doesn't is secondary it seems. It's not like he was a sometimeish, lazy player in the Premier League before moving to Man U...

Heavy sarcasm here btw.

We've just signed a Bolivian midfielder Samuel Galindo. He was actually on Merseyside about to sign for Everton when we called his agent and he took the next flight to London had a trial with us and decided to sign here. Meant to be a bit of a beast.

Saracasitc but true. Berbatov was defiantely worth a buy based on performances @ Spurs, he has been frustrating yea, but you can't help but feel that he can do ALOT more.

It's good that we can laugh at ourselves sometimes.
I was laughing at Sledger actually. But i dont see whats the joke, big Berbatov clearly should be doing more for United - he just hasn't & thus has frustrated many. Could he turn out to be one of the most expensive but ineffective buys in history yea sure, but hopefully he can step it up. I certainly wouldn't consider selling him.

Exactly why I didn't get it.

A Man U fan would hope so, at the very least.

That's cool. Few would consider buying him.

Carragher trying hard to get an assist there. Can't imagine he actually left that deliberately like one of the commentators is stating with ridiculous certainty.

Laws confirmed as Burnley manager. Certs for relegation now, IMHO.

Sad state of affairs when Fergie doesn't even make the top 3 biggest ****s currently managing in the Prem.
