World Soccer: How good is Dimitar Berbatov?

As things stand I don't really know and then is it actually possible to know unless he moves to a big club (sorry THFC) that is fighting for the Championship and playing Champions League? Went to see Aston Villa v. Man. Utd. in FA Cup last week. To me Rooney had the hallmarks of getting towards a world class player, coming off the bench and giving his team the extra bit of class to win which Saha wasn't providing. Berbatov has a classy Kanu likeness about him at times and has put in some super performances but will the big Nigerian go down as world class? Think not. You see I don't think the empirical evidence is there for Berba yet and I'm unsure if it will come.
I'll go to see N. Ireland v. Bulgaria on 6 Feb, just a shame it's only a friendly but looking forward to seeing him in action.
Now there was another D.B. who used to ply his trade in North London. That was undisputed class.
