Usain Bolt: I'm good enough for Man United.

My point is, having the vast majority of your goals coming in a couple of games doesn't exactly hint at consistency. Something that is required at the top level.

my point exactly. And he didnt score them against shit teams, he scored them against you haha

There is a reason he was overlooked. Because the number of goals he had flattered him. He is not as good as his goal tally suggests.

Haha, he scored a quarter of his goals in the league against Blackburn Rovers. In one game.

Which I don't understand, because most of the time Berba starts he usually scores...it's just the Hernandez fever got over SAF.

I think Ferguson is a better judge of his team than yourself.

Never said I was? Just said I don't understand...

It's not like SAF is always right...he usually gets the most obvious things wrong.

You don't need to understand. He got it right did he not? Berbatov stopped scoring, Hernandez kept scoring.

What?

I needed to understand why Berba was benched even though he was scoring goals....I know Hernandez kept scoring but Berba would have done the same and tallied up more goals in the PL if he was kept playing.

Berbatov went on a massive streak without scoring..

After the Liverpool game..Berba played one game and then got benched the next..against Sunderland.

Then against Stoke away he was not even playing as a striker, and then went two games without scoring against Villa and City...I'd hardly call that a massive streak.


-- And in the later part of the season, after the Blackpool game where he scored 2...he was benched for like 6 games...

I bet SAF is pissed now, £15m on Ashley Young when he could of had Bolt for free.

Do you not think that there is a reason he was?

Because his goal tally flattered him.
