Berbatov or Robinho: Who Will Have the Better Debut?

By: Daryl | September 12th, 2008

The two big stories of the transfer window make their debuts tomorrow in two juicy Premier League fixtures.

Dimitar Berbatov and Manchester United take on Liverpool at Anfield in the early Saturday kickoff. Then later on Robinho should start earning the silly money he’s being paid when he makes his Man City debut against Chelsea.

Both cost roughly the same (a lot) and both are expected to do big things. But who will have the better debut tomorrow? Vote in our poll below…


My money would be on Berbatov. Bulgaria only had one World Cup qualifier during the international break, and that was a week ago. So he guy is rested. He’s also benefited from the Robinho transfer by avoiding some of the spotlight that would have come his way had the Abu Dhabi United Investment group not swooped in two Monday mornings ago.

Robinho on the other hand, has had the spotlight shining right in his face for two straight weeks. After signing for City he travelled to Chile, where he scored for Brazil and then hit the headlines by tagging the Chilean dressing room. Then it was back to Brazil to do some pretty disgraceful diving and get booed by the home crowd (along with his teammates). Exhausting stuff.

But on the other hand, the fact that Man City are playing Chelsea - his planned Premier League destination - might be the extra motivation Robinho needs to introduce himself with a bang. We shall see.

So, who do you think we’ll be talking about (in a good way) on Saturday night?
