1) You are talking about players that play for other "big" clubs, who are not available. I dont disagree that some are probably better all round players than him, but none are as intelligent, and none are as available.
Every player is available it just comes down to offering the right price

If it's intelligence your after there are many more options, Ashton is a much more intelligent player than Berbatov. Though Berbatov is better in other area's but then if it is just intelligence there you go.

2) Rooney throws his shirt at the bench, Ronaldo wasnt happy when he got taken off after spanking you lot, big players dont like losing. Fergie is a master of the egotistical footballer, there is nobody who has the experience he has with footballers. Ramos has done pretty well with Berbatov considering they dont speak the same language. He has always come across as quite reserved in interviews that i have heard, and thats what i would base my judgement on, not his occasionally "sluggish" style or attitude
.

Rooney and Ronaldo do it because they want to help Manchester United achieve, Berbatov does it because he thinks he is better than being subbed and he can't whore himslef out if he isn't playing.

I think the reason that Berbatov and Ramos have got on well is that Ramos knows he is leaving and respects that

Yes Fergusson has had some troubled players in his time but I don't think he can change every player. He probably could change Berbatov's attitude but it's not guaranteed.

3) Tottenham know they will be selling him this summer, he has been respectful and not thrown strops about a transfer. They have to accept that it is his time, and they will. He is 27, so Spurs will not get a fee of 30 million, nobody bar Chelsea and maybe Real Madrid would pay that, and they will probably be in for other targets ie Eto'o. Madrid have changed philosophy's and seem to be investing in youth as opposed to older players, they probably wont pay big big money like you are talking.
I think it is very disrespectful to Tottenham what Berbatov has done and it shows he has no respect to the club paying his wages. He ism ore interested in himself

Who knows what fee they will get, Spurs wont let him go for cheap, I don't think he would go for under 30 million even though I don't think he is worth that

4) Nobody would expect Berbatov to last ten years, 7 or 8 years, which would be the best of his career would be good value for money considering what he would (arguably) bring to the team. Benzema is not really an option considering his resistance to a move to us, Berbatov his though, will Fergie want to settle for anything less (somebody outside of these two) in possibly his last 5 years (if that) as manager? I think not
I think SAF has other targets in mind, who I don't know I think he will suprise everyone though
