Berbatov has also one of the most impressive pieces of hold-up play i've ever seen. he can bring the others into play, has the skill to retain possession and see a pass. his ability to pluck the ball up from the air with his feet is extraordinary.

i'm leery about getting him because of his attitude, though, but a striker with his characteristics (and a bit of pace) would be ideal.
