We didn't buy the exact same though, Berbatov and Tevez are very different players. They play in the same position but in different ways, so it does give us more options. Whether it gave us a wide enough range of options is debatable but you can see why SAF chose Berbatov, even if you don't agree, right?

Strange that you should even have to explain this.
Bearing in mind how much trouble we would have been in, last season, if Rooney and Tevez had picked up a long-term injury, I would say buying more of the same makes perfect sense.
