Hmm
I’m not certain this is a fair analysis of Berbatov’s time at OT
You didn’t even mention he won a Golden boot

He won it with 21 goals he shared with 2 other players i can't remember now, heavily aided with 5 goals against Blackburn and hatrick at Anfield. My brother, i watched Berbatov. He is a skillful player and a joy to watch at times, but he wasn't actually a successful signing. I know exactly what i am saying. That season 2010/11, he was mostly benched by Chicharito, especially in big matches.

patrickmuf:
Ronaldo is rated for the career he had after he left and not necessarily for his impact here because I won't rate him above Keane, Ferdinand, Evra, Park etc. I won't rate Rashford above Berbatov, Solskjaer and Fletcher...

You are correct on Ronaldo. But won 3 EPL titles at Man United and a UCL 2 League cups, 1 Fa Cup, 1 club world championship and he was the best player in these years.

Keane did not do better than Ronado in the 21st century, if it was between 1990 to 2000, i will admit. But in the 21st century? No. Ronaldo actually did an unbelievable job when he was here. Only Rooney and Giggs were clearly ahead of him.

Forget the nostalgia merchants and recent TV analysis by Berbatov. He wasn’t really a magnificent success at Man United as many would make it seem. We all watched him. He came in 2008/09 season, struggled heavily and rarely feature in important games, benched most times even though we don't have a major top 9. Our front three was Park, Ronaldo and Rooney that season. The next season he wasnt that fantastic too, Rooney was infact moved to the top 9 position, after Rooney who was having one of his best season that year, got injured against Bayern, he lost several chances in the EPL especially versus Blackburn that made us lose the league title. The next season Fergie bought 20 year old Chicharito from Mexican league, as just a prospect. He benched Berbatov after few games, and he never recovered his starting place again, after the next season were he rarely featured, infact Welbeck ws ahead of him. he was shipped to Fulham and Van Persie was gotten.

So Rashford did much better than Berbetov yes he was a silky player and all that, but wasnt really a success at Man United, infact Tevez performed far better than him.
I will agree for Solskjear over Rashford but not clear especially in the 21st century (2000 till date) Solsjear was injured most times during that period and retired early in 2007. Fletcher I agree he is ahead of Rashford.


For people wondering why i placed Valencia over Nani. Yes Valencia was benching Nani, during Fergie era. In 10/11 season Valencia was even injured for long, came back and Fergie benched Nani for Valencia again.

Pls Martial is better than Zirkzee. When Martial started with us he was doing well until laziness n lack of commitment finish him off. Since Zirkee started what has he done besides one goal manage to score.

Guy even Current Martial with all his Laziness is better than Zirkzee. Well it will take a miracle for the guy not to be a flop

eph12:
In which aspect of the field?

Every aspect

Unpopular Opinion Mctominay is better than Ugarte.

Ball no de stay for Ugarte leg at all. De do like somebody wey wear timberland.

Amorin will join After the international break. He is coming with 3 Assistants and 2 sports scientists

I dont know what Amorin will use Zirkzee for, but the guy is not cut out for English football. Very unnecessary signing.
Van Nistelrooy sef which kian line up be this sef

Lana1:
Next manager also needs to give Rashford, Shaw and Dalot the same treatment Maresca gave Sterling. They are part of the rot and act like they are untouchable. They need to get rid of that mentality in the dressing room and show these players anyone can be booted

Rashford, Shaw, Dalot. Need to de declared supplys to requirement. Any Manager that plays any of these guys is a clear sign of failure. The person wey de vex me pass na that Dalot, the guy IQ is zero

Cherrybae:
Any hope for PDP in Etsako and Akoko Edo

I dont think so

Okpebholo1:
This is how the entire central will be.whoever will win central will do so by less than 5000..
The gap in Benin is not much.pdp won't win by more than 20k which APC will reduce using ovia and orhiomnwon and win with Edo north

Wait did APC win the 2 Ovia LGAs and Oriohnwhon.? If yes why did APC do well there ? Please

Cherrybae:
The margin isn't much. Oredo. EGOR LGAs will cancel this by far.

In all, APC will still carry the day.

You are doing a good job here.

Ibos will not sleep today. They are all in severe pains

Margins here doesnt matter, the places that matter is in Etsako LGAs and Akoko Edo

Okpebholo1:
What is all these? Have you seen the results with your eyes?

No i saw this on twitter

Okpebholo1:
I'll give pdp a maximum of 25k lead in that three lgas Incase of rigging

If they have 25k lead in these LGAs that will be too big to overturn oo, with the low voter turnout

Okpebholo1:
Esan NE ward result of Uzea

I heard PDP won the LGAs in green tick and lost the red marked on. Is it true?
Esan Central ✅
Esan North East✅
Esan South East✅
Esan West ❌
Igueben ✅

Okpebholo1:
For Ikpoba,Oredo or Egor? APC won so many units in those areas

Yes in those LGAs the margin wont be much. A bit a tight result

Okpebholo1:
Yes..margin no go pass 10k

The margin no go pass 3k from what i am seeing on Irev

famology:
Who's the apc leader in this ward?

Oshiomhole is the leader in all Edo North

We need Hojlund in this game. I will be frank Zirkzee in this setup is wack

Bruno is out of form

The upgrade between AWB to Mazraoui is ridiculous. AWB is an eye sore of a player

Look at the kind of goal chelsea scored from Wan Bissaka wing . Very useless defender

Leyqute:
I’d say Alvaro Fernandez didn’t turn out badly. We just, due to some weird reason, decided to cash in on him early.

Yeah we cashed in too early, I was not happy with his sales. We knew we only had Shaw and Malacia who are injury prone, we went and sold him.

delkuf:
the reason why we are not buying players at this price any more is because we keep looking to buy players from major league in Europe. We want to buy players from England and other major European leagues. If you look at those players you mentioned, they were bought from smaller countries. Look at chicharito for example, he was bought from Mexico. So it didn't cost much

Exactly, you are correct, we were buying players that will sell jerseys and make the media boom. Vidic was gotten for 7m Euros from Spartak Moscow at 24. How no one bought him before then, still remained a mystery to me. He turned out in my Opinion to became to best Central Defender in this Premier league era.

DeadPresidents:
Dalot is also another low-key solid piece of business.

Yeah Dalot was a steal actually.
We should be looking to making these kinds of signings.
Vidic was bought for 7m Euros.
Evra 5 milkion Euros
Ji Sung Park for 4.5m Euros
Chicharito was 4m Euros from Guadalajara in Mexico, what a fantastic signing

afrodoc2:
It wasn't a sale as such. He joined us as a youth player after receiving interest from several clubs in Europe. What we paid them was most likely a compensation fee for a youth product and not a transfer fee.

Exactly we got him Together with Jurado from Barca, And Fernandez from Madrid, He alone turned out good. Although we recouped good money for Fernandez and Jurado.

Even Among the 3 at that time, Granacho seem to be the least popular. All bets were on Alvaro Fernandez.

For now i have high hopes on Biancheirri, he looks to me to be a dark horse that will take everyone by surprise. That Fletchers Son that looks silky and Intelligent to me and likely to suceeds. Harry Amass will do well, he has the confidence and the Skills to suceed

Leyqute:
Those moves are always a gamble. We also bought Mejbri for 4m as a teenager and sold him for about 5m. After years of “developing him.” There’s no guarantee that a player will turn out good and teenagers are wildly unpredictable.

Good thing is that most of the young guys we bought are turning out well . Look at Amad for instance. He cost us about 40m ( 19+18m in bonuses) when he was 18. But with the way he’s going, he could easily be a 70-100m player by the end of the season.

And Mejbri was almost looking like a nailed- on Success, but he didnt just make that jump, to a proper baller, Same thing that happened to Tuanzebe, Mengi, etc. And some of these our generational talents we have at the youth team now will not reach their potentials we just pray a good number just do well.

Yeah. But Amad is 37m Euros if he fulfils all his potentials including winning Ballondor, UCL and EPL. The initial fee was 17m Euros.

I don't know who in Athletico Madrid Sanctioned the sale of Garnacho to Man United for 400k pounds. Thats madness

Oasis007:
Something is really not clear to me, is there a clause in Rashford's contract that he must start a match as far as he is available?!

I am thinking the sane thing too.

E be like say Rashford get clause for Contract say him go play 90 minutes every minutes

Dalot is queitly having a good game. Lol
