Sounds like he'd be better off as an attacking midfielder

He is more of a Sheringham/Bergkamp type player, I know what you are saying, he maybe didn't get as many as should be expected, Bergkamp was only a 15 a season scorer, but he was so good at linking Midfield to Attack. Berbatov is the closest I have seen to him, not quite as good a Bergkamp, but then he didn't hit his peak till about 30/31 he was unplayable for those few years.
The one thing i didn't expect from Berbatov was the pressure would get to him, I think it did, from interviews it seems like the spotlight and expectation was more than he expected, that can happen at our place. Plus £30Mill on top of that.
I think him and Rooney will be hard work for teams next season.
And as I said, if they can spot Owen in the area his is unmarked 90% of the time, his movement off the ball is incredible. He looses defenders like they don't exist, and saying it is Malaysia means nothing, I think he has more than proven he can do it at any level.
