This season was over the minute Man Utd signed Berbatov.
You think he is THAT good? I just don´t see it.
No, not at all, but he makes their team THAT good.
Their quality in depth is off the charts. 11 titles in the last 16-17 years and for my money, none of those teams had the level of overall quality this current team has. A bunch of those teams could go man-for-man in the starting eleven, but once you start going to the bench there's a massive difference. When you have that type of talent, and the depth to go with, it's a guarantee that you'll win the league. Maybe not the cups, or Europe, but you'll win the league. There's too many games for that depth not to play out over the course of a full season.
All the other contenders -- Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal -- were flawed squads in comparison to Man Utd.
Berbatov was the final element to their attack. A big guy who can hold up the ball and bring others into the play. A great complement to the strikers they already had.
I´ve heard Chelsea is interested in Edin Dzeko from new Bundesliga Champion VfL Wolfsburg.
That would be a great signing, imo. One of the most impressive strikers I´ve seen in my 20 years as a fan.
I've never seen him play. What type of player he is? A big striker? Small guy? Quick or slow? A thoroughbred scorer or a creative playmaker?
Chelsea are in so many rumours that I normally don't bother following them. I'd like to see a manager in place before we start signing new players unless it's a world class type of talent.
