Yes, Berbatov's fantastic touch, technique and vision will allow him to play slightly longer than Eto'o for example. But he'd still be a few levels below where he is now and a younger player may be seen to offer more at that point - playing next to Rooney or Tevez who share similar vision.

We can only guess right now.
