Good luck, Berba!

Deadline day, and Dimitar Berbatov finally finds a new home in Fulham. Berbatov signed a 2-year contract with the club after a frustrating year at United, limited to only 21 appearances all season, 12 in the league. Quite unfair since he's the joint top scorer of the previous season.

I am a fan of Berbatov. It's a shame that he just couldn't fit into United's team. Or, more accurately, Sir Alex Ferguson couldn't fit him into his team. His movement is beautiful and I just enjoy watching him play. He still has the skills necessary to play at the top level; he just needed a different team than ours. So, best of luck, Dimi. I definitely will be watching Fulham a bit more now just to watch him play.

I'd just like to take the opportunity to thank everyone at #MUFC. You have all been so great to me with my 4 years at the club, thank you!!

Side note: Some people argue that his rejection of Juventus and Fiorentina for Fulham is him shying away from new challenges. I can't really blame him for wanting to stay in England if he's settled here. Juventus offers Champions League opportunities, true, but that doesn't mean than Fulham wouldn't present its own challenges for Berbatov.
