In terms of missing Kuyt, from watching the last 2 games ive noticed that Vorinin is a pretty similar type of player.  Hel run his socks off for 90 minutes and beyond and i think he is a more all round player than Kuyt in terms of goal threat, pace and positioning.  I thereofre chose Berbatov as he would give us that extra bit of quality up front because we only need 1 Kuyt/Vorinin type of player, and id choose the latter at the moment.

Like?

1. Killer 1st touch even when under pressure
2. Vision and the ability to see a Pass
3. Play killer passes which lead to goal scoring chances
4. Excellent technique

Not sure if anyone remembers this goal v Roma in the CL but this sums up Berbatov.

Only reason Kuyt get some votes is that some people just are in denail and don't want to give up on a player that has very little skill and will get you maybe 5 PL goals a season.

Like many has mentioned Kuyt has ONE thing that is better and that is his work-rate/attitude.
But what about the footballing department? NONE are better!

feck off u piece of , a forum is for discussion and everyone has their views , so don't think that we all want berbatov in our team , go screW urself and have fun doing that

Sure, he is a nice lad and a hard worker but those things won't win you football games.
Skills and goals will do that.
Berbatov's skill, technique, football intelligence, first touch, finishing ability etc etc etc are all head and shoulders above Kuyt's. There is nothing when it comes to just football that Kuyt does better. Have you seen his 1st touch? finishing?
Atrocious and abysmal are the best way to describe them unless you look through those tinted glasses.

And c'mon, berbatov may have some attitude problems but comparing with Diouf is going way overboard.
