the players who were brought in afterwards have nothing to do with United getting put through the wringer and paying 32m for a striker who was probably worth about half and was a starter for 1 year while he was there
great bit of business that was

he was still the PL topscorer despite just playing in about half the games in 2010-11. He wasn't worth the huge money though, I agree. I never really understood why there was such hate/criticism for him. I feel bad for Berba, I think he deserves way more credit for his time at United than he gets from fans, media etc. ... especially in the first half of 2010-11 when Rooney was out because of his transfer freak show and injuries, and Hernandez was still adjusting to PL football. Berbatov was fantastic during that time, and he was one of the main reasons for title #19. Unfortunately, he was then clearly outperformed by both Hernandez and Welbeck. I feel bad for him because he has always been a talented player, but for some reason he never really seemed to fit in at United.
