Berbatov a red at last !

But it went right down to the wire, with Campbell going to Spurs on a season's loan.

If Campbell was going to Wigan on loan, it's a bit of disappointment that he has had to be used as a makeweight in the Berbatov deal. I am pretty sure that he would have established himself as one of the main strikers at Wigan. Where as i am not sure how much football he he is going to get at White Hart Lane. Still we were desperate for a proper number 9 so it had to be done i suppose. Despite my reservations about his temperament he is an absolute top quality centre forward and the type of player we were crying out for. With Ronaldo out and possibly on his way out next summer ( though somehow i doubt he will end up at the boo camp, see below ) it was imperative that we bought a quality strker that meets the United needs, he can hold the line up front on his own if needs be, he can link up and create for others, he is good in the air and he gets his fair share of goals. Berbatov more than fits the bill for all those requirements, let's hope his temperament shows improvement from his time at Tottenham.
