:rolleyes: because i've lived in devon all my life? in fact, i bet i've seen more united games than "real" fans just because they live in manchester. Addmittedly not recently although I do have some tickets for both carling cup semis.

Fair enough.

You are all forgetting he cost 12 million more than keane.

That's why.

he's younger and fergie knew it would improve united. money isn't necessary an object if it brings in more silverware, fergie knows what he's doing berba links up play and has an amazing first touch. much better player than keane, out of his league in fact.

That's why.

32 million for a bit of skill.

Robbie keane
Assists = 5
Goals = 7
Price = 20mil
apps in league = 15 (2)


Dimitar berbatov

Assists = 7
Goals = 7 (i think)
Price = 32 mil
apps in league = 13 (2)

Before Berbatov arrived at WHL, Keane really was average. For example in 05/06 he was being overlooked by Defoe & Mido.

Plus the fact he's never really been prolific, and can you really justify £20m for Keane?

[Throne Sofa]

That's a good point. In recent weeks, United fans have started to question him though and many prefer Tevez. He still contributes to the team in assists and performances, but the reason he was bought, goals, haven't come as easily have he would have liked.

Berbatov made Keane look good anyway. Admittedly Berba doesn't score that much, I think that was only his 3rd league goal in 15 league appearances. He doesn't try hard but he's the sort of player that will grab a goal or set one up. Those 3 points last night could be priceless.
