You're making a case for Berbatov based on international goals and player of the year awards, he's got more of both than Rooney. So he must be a better player, eh? Or do we judge Rooney on his United stats?

He was worth 30 mil when they bought him, and the season that followed he did a fair bit better than a lot of people give him credit for. He's just had an ordinary season, nothing worse than that and for a fair bunch of it he was playing with injury. It seems to me that people expect United players to paint the universe red and black every season if they join with any sort of reputation and then if they fall short at times, cant wait to murder them. He hasn't been a flop, and I contend that I have answered all questions at least adequately, whilst my own have lartgely been sidestepped.

The only English striker to match his international goal scoring in terms of return AND rate is Jimmy Greaves, so by that measure he is more than just a decent player by "Bulgarian" standards, he is also more than just a decent player by international standards too. |
