His first touch is amazing, ive also been impressed with his workrate although it doesnt compare to Rooney/Tevez to be honest no other strikers come close to the work rate of them to, i expected Berbatov to be alot lazier but he’s proved me wrong. Theres been a few players over the years that have been compared to The King (Ooh Ahh Cantona) but Berba is the only one that truely reminds me of Cantona, hopefully he can produce some classic moments like the King aswell

It’s nice to hear but we should take it with a grain of salt since he just got here, I tend to find comments like these more credible after a player has been at the club for a season or two. There’s no doubt he has talent and it will only be a matter of time before we get the right chemistry up front and he starts scoring on a regular basis. Right now the Rooney/Berbatov combination seems the most promising right now, with Rooney looking sharp and motivated playing behind him.

I know we paid a good sum for the lad but what were people expectations? We still have first teamers who are just begining to get thier game right. Give him a few games and let him bed in properly.

This guy is top class. Not to celebrate b/c he knows exactly how high the stakes are and that missed shot could cost us trophies at the end of the season when it’s squeaky bum time. Watch out EPL, Berbs on the prowl now.

Berbatov was a waste of money (note: sarcasm).

Note: It is funny how 2 goals can change the tune of so many supporters. It was always clear that a player as technically sound as Berbatov was going to score goals for United. It was a shame to hear the fans writing him off so early, just because he didn’t score in his first few goals!

At this rate he’ll be challenging Fletcher for the golden boot!

Leave the worrying about how much we bought you to Fergie and the Glazers, just score the goals.

A top quality player who will get better as each game passes. Let’s not forget that he was thrown into to some pretty big fixtures, but I think he’s done ok so far. His positive comments about United are very much endearing to the fans, which is a nice change from your average mecenary cunt these days who claim to love clubs for who they are, the clubs that are willing to pay the fat salaries.

Don’t know if that was what I wanted to hear… He feels the pressure because we paid so much for him, that could really have a bad affect on his performances, just hope he can forget about that and focus on playing well.

I think sometimes that fans forget that a team is made up of a blend of types of players. If we had 11 Wayne Rooney’s all running all over the place, you’d get nowhere. Tevez is the same sort of player to Rooney which is why you’d see Rooney out on the left wing so much last season.

Now, we’ve got the classic blend of 3(4) top strikers to match the Yorke/Cole Sheringham/Solskaer mix – which combination is going to be best? Dunno Berba/Rooney – Tevez/Ronaldo ?
