I heard Berbatov had no answer to the mighty McShane!!
Berbatov or Henry?

McShane was a God today. He made Spurs look extremely ordinary.
A former United player that used to be on the reserves
I wonder if Pique and Evans are the same thing or this Mcshane is better, only time will tell
What against the best front 4 in the league?
This thread was one of the smaller factors to why I finally ended up registering to this forum. I knew it would come back to haunt him, didn't know this early though..
Obviously its a long season and all, one result not defining the season but still

Indeed. The best strike quartet around was no match for the young ginge at the back. Berbatov was shite today.
Once again I failed to see what the Berbatov hype is all about last night. I have been telling people for months that he is overrated perhaps vindication will finally come.
Vindication won't come with the Spurs midfield as uncreative as they have been recently. They can make any forward look bad at the moment.
He needs chances to put them away. He got one decent opportunity last night, and very nearly finished it home with a sweet header. He has showed in the games against Sunderland and Everton that he's got one of the best touches in the Premier League, and if he's given any kind of service from that rather boring central midfield of theirs, he will provide the goals.
Yes, let's judge players on the early parts of the season.
I wonder what you've got to say about people like Scholes and Giggs who were fecking abysmal on Sunday, are they now suddenly 'hype'?

Yes. They've clearly not done anything in their careers. All hype IMVHO.
Excuses, excuses excuses. I am not saying Berbatov isn't a good player far from it. I think he is a good striker just not worth the hype towards the end of the season and indeed throughout the summer. Plus it is an insult to any footballing mind with an ounce of intelligence to mention his name next to Thierry Henry's.
£25mil plus my arse.
FFS, not even Thierry Henry would manage to score with that silly excuse of a midfield Tottenham have behind Berbatov. Do you expect him to score a 30 yard-screamer or dribble past 4 players and slot it hime in every game for him to be a great striker? He is one of the Premiership's very best strikers, although only a spastic like GlastonSpur would liken him to Henry.
I don't think he's worth £25m but I certainly think he's deserved some of the plaudits he's gotten this past year - not many players who join from other leagues settle so quickly and perform so well.
And lets not get into the Henry argument again. Berbatov is 4 years younger and is a quality player, what's the point of taking Henry over him if you're only gonna get another year or two max out of him??
Interesting read, and comments.
Henry
Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime, all of you.
That's taking into consideration that the posts were made a year ago. I would never want Henry in our team, and I wanted Berbatov even before he went to Tottenham.
Yeah, because you have a different opinion then them they're all Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime now?Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime, all of you.

And who's to say you're right? It seems like you think you are. Henry could have been brilliant for us, and Berbatov might not be all that brilliant.
Berbatov
Nah, because they're muppets preferring a cnut of a player who's past it, instead of a promising one that plays for a considerably lesser club. Looks like chelski supporters the lot of you, wishing for rivals' top players at 30+.
He still hasn't proven he is as good let alone better than Henry, another basic point you aren't considering is Henry's injury problems. Obviously right now Berbatov is the more wiser choice due to Henry's injuries but if Henry regains his form and stays injury free then there isn't too much debate as to who the better player is though Berbatov is probably better suited to your needs right now.Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime, all of you.

Just finished reading it. I'm happy with my opinions within the thread so I don't have to hide anything.
KingEric7, I still think you're a cnut. :P

Would you have Lampard and Terry here if they were better than Ferdinand and Scholes? I wouldn't.
Edit: Saw you were an arse. You made Gallas captain. Case closed.
That makes two of us.
So you'd never want the best player to grace the Premiership in your team back then?Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime, all of you.

This is quite a silly bump, really. I'd say the same over and over again regarding the decision. Hindsight is wonderful when you consider the way Henry has gone since going to Spain, but it probably would've been very different had Henry stayed in England. Berbatov has turned out to be a fine player, but he has and never will be as good as Henry at the peak of his powers.
If I'd wanted United to buy Torres, Henry, Drogba, Fabregas, Terry, Lampard, Gerrard etc I could spend my days doing something else than following football.
Berbatov.
You seem to misunderstand me completely. I didn't want anyone this summer, nor did I think we needed anyone. I'm sure Berbatov will be a good signing, though.
The question was ludicrous back then yet less so, now.
It'd be amusing to know how you came to this conclusion when you consider that I don't think I've ever come across you on this forum......
You strike me as the sort of person that would be up in arms if I said something like "Messi is a better footballer than Ronaldo".

Berbenry.
We let Van Nistelrooy go, he was a cnut, and he was old, and he turned out well for Real now didn't he?
Henry is still a better player than Berbatov.
Who the feck cares? What is even your point? I, just now, said I don't want our rivals' biggest cnuts playing for us. I can see that a little glory hunter like yourself would love to have Terry and Drogba in our team as long as we're winning trophies, but I want to win the United way; not buying all the world class 30-year-old cnuts we possibly can.
You called everyone here who wanted Berbatov instead of Henry here muppets, for no good reason.
Berbatov comes across as a cnut as much as Henry does. Berbatov was Spurs' best player. And Berbatov is only 2 years older.
So then what's your point? Because so far you're not putting it across all that well.
1. Berbatov being a cnut is something you can stand for, I won't. I also don't call Tottenham our rivals. I'd rather buy a cnut from Grimsby than a cnut from Liverpool.

2. Berbatov is not two years older than Henry, he is 3,5 years younger.
3. I've just told you the reason twice. Some people never learn. But then again I wouldn't expect anything more from a seventeen-year-old who hasn't had math in school yet.
4. Wipe that silly smile off your face. Makes you look like a retarded brat rather than just a brat.
1. So you don't want Berbatov here, is that what you're saying? Most footballers are cnuts now, well most of the good ones. There's no logic in buying a worse player just because he's not from a rival team. If the cnut from a rival team is better, you get him.
2. Fine.
3. That's a pretty bollocks reason if that's it. I thought you would've expanded on it a bit.
4. Go feck yourself.
Oh, god. Why do I even bother... Seems like the caf isn't a great place to improve one's reading comprehension. If I'd see your mother more often than on weekends I'd force her to get you off the internet and start studying.1. So you don't want Berbatov here, is that what you're saying?

I'm still happy we signed Berbatov rather than Henry. I said it last year and I'm saying it again. I'd rather have Berbatov than Henry if I had a choice between them both.
Luckily, we got Berbatov so Sir Alex agrees too.
