The problem is, his fee will not reflect how much we really 'need' him, it'll reflect how much any team needs him and there will likely be other sides who would pay around £25 million for him. A side like Chelsea perhaps who, when they lose Drogba, will have not only lost his goals but his link up play around the box and ability to bring team mates into the game allowing them to score.

We already have Tevez and Rooney who can create the goals as well as score them. So to Chelsea, he would surely be an even more valuable player.

I'd personally like someone faster, but theres no doubting Berbatov is one of the best strikers in the league.
