A CASE FOR DIMITAR BERBATOV


The Daily Mail and other Sunday papers have been running a story concerning Manchester United's Dimitar Berbatov. Apparently, Sir Bobby Robson is not impressed with the Bulgarian's performance so far. I mean it's amazing how fickle some people can be as regards to the game. It does not surprise me that one of the greatest causes of WW2 was the English press! In England, they people are paid to fill newspaper pages rather than for reporting valid information.
Sir Bobby claims that Berbatov did shite at the Emirates on Saturday and that his one goal in the league is not enough for a club as big as Manchester United.
Well for starters, Sir Alex did not sign Berba solely for goals--but for that extra bit of creativity about him. We have goal scorers at United and that is why we won the biggest double last season. The stats show that United are now finishing games with a record number of attempts at goal compared to last season. Berba has added a lot in terms of creativity. He is already our assist leader this season and if that is what he can add to United then so be it, we'll take that!
It will be Sir Alex and not SIr Bobby that will deal with Berba if he is under performing. Sir Alex is not the kind who will field an under performing player for 9 straight games. It shows there is something he's doing right. This talk of Berbatov being Cantona is what could probably be misleading people. Berbatov is not and will never be Cantona and the vice-versa is true. Berbatov is Dimitar Berbatov--end of story, the fat lady sings!
