Did that guy Jonathon say United should buy Gerrard?!?! Is he completely mad? Liverpool and United HATE eachother. COMPLETELY agree with the other comment, Berbatov would slow down the team, but i dont think Saha does that, Saha is an incredible player when fit, i just wish he wasnt always injured

I just dont see the reason why Man Utd would buy Berbatov. Don't misunderstand me,he is good player, good touch and a football brain but he's too slow.
If you look at how Man Utd play with their counter attacking football, Berbatov will slow the team down a bit like how Louis Saha does when he's in the team and also his work rate is not great. Would he sacrifice himself for the good of the team like Wayne Rooney & Carlos Tevez did against Barcelona in the Champions League semi-finals or would he sulk? I think the latter.
United need player who's tall and strong like Berbatov but a player who also has pace and the one person i can think of who fits the bill is Huntelaar.

I Jonathan as a Man United Supporter would Like to see Berbatov sign for Man United and if Not Sir Alexs Ferguson should Buy Steven Gerrard of Liverpool or torres of Liverpool either or Buy Gareth Barry or Buy a Few good Strikers for Our Team Before the Dead Line Like Hunterlar or Benzema or Buy someone who can score goals Like Drogba of Chelsea or shaun Wright Philips of Chelsea .
