Dimitar Berbatov and Manchester United...

Hi all,

Again, it has been a while... A long while...

I'm very glad that D. Berbatov has finally arrived at Man U after all those transfer struggles. Berbatov has made the right choice to join Man U and Sir Alex should be pleased to get such a prize asset who has already proven himself in BPL. Man U fans should be happy too.

I'm puzzled when people compare Berbatov's transfer saga to Ronaldo's wilful wish of joining Real Madrid. Yes, I don't deny that RM is a very good club with rich history, but Ronaldo is already at one of the best football clubs, if not the best in the world, while Berbatov wasn't a couple of days ago when he was still a Spurs player. Understandably, there should be no qualm about good players from good clubs wanting to play for a better club, because you can play to win trophies and honours. However, from a very good club to another very good club, this is what I don't understand about Ronaldo's issue... Unless you have stepped on Sir Alex's toes or something (like what Ruud & Beck have done previously), you will enjoy much more playing for Man U under Sir Alex, the best manager in BPL's history... $$ is important especially for football players whose sporting careers are short, but being honourable and morally right should be expected as players' attributes too. So, my advice to Ronaldo, please wake up your bl***y idea and appreciate what you have achieved as a Man U player as compared to what you were a couple of years ago... Be grateful...

Once again, I'm glad D. Berbatov is with Man U now and I'm keen to find out how Sir Alex blends Berbatov into his current squad, how he intends to play Rooney, Tevez, Ronaldo (when he's back from injury) and Berbatov together? Is it a Christmas Tree formation with Rooney and Tevez playing behind Berbatov, which is sort of like a 4-3-3 formation? Or will it still be Man U's favourite 4-4-2, but choosing only 2 forwards, be it Rooney-Berbatov, or Tevez-Berbatov, or the usual Rooney-Tevez? It's tough and despite having some many talents under your charge, I'm glad that I'm not Sir Alex who has to make these tough decisions week in-week out...

Man U, all the way to another BPL champion title and UEFA Champions League title...

Signing off...
