Berbatov v Cantona
Lets talk of potential similarities between Berba and King Eric?
Could Berbatov develop a similar role, playing in a similar style achieve similar status in terms of his performance and contribution ?
I feel if Berbatov can get anywhere near Cantona's influence, it'll be a great achievement already. Cantona had a stand out presence about him which made him unique.
On the playing field he was a catalyst which transformed United into champions. I very much doubt Berbatov will ever match the character, charisma, and give the presence what Cantona gave the team, in that sense he was unique.
BUT Berbatov comes with a bigger reputation then eric had but he made his legacy on the park and as Berb said, his time is now. I reckon Berbatov will be our catalyst in europe where as Cantona did it mainly for us in the league.
I think he'll give us more confidence to play our game in europe
I have no doubt he will be a success but how can you compare a legend against someone who has yet to kick a ball for us in a meaningfull match. Time will tell eh ?
Abo may agree , Its an insult to Cantona to compare him to Berbatov (now) ..Berbatov has a long way to go......
