Shevchenko vs Berbatov

£10.9 million vs £30 million, who do you think was the better buy. Spurs are starting to get some really amazing players with huge potential on the cheap. With 18 goals in 38 games for spurs, and just as many assists Berbatov could well be one of the finds of the season.

Berbatov has firmly established himself as the first choice forward at the club; participating in all but one of the games he has been fit to play in, starting 12 of a possible 15 games and coming on as substitute for a further two of those. His experience in Europe is already reaping rewards for his new club. He has scored in each of the four UEFA Cup games he has played for Spurs, with his performances earning two man-of-the-match awards in the group stages against Besiktas and Club Brugge.

However, after a poor start to his first season at Chelsea, many people questioned whether Andriy Shevchenko was worth such a hefty transfer fee and there was speculation about Shevchenko's return to AC Milan. In January 2007 ex-Chelsea players had even suggested that Andriy might end up being the biggest flop in British football.

Despite the constant criticism from the media, Shevchenko has continued to work hard at Chelsea and has recently shown signs of beginning to find his feet in England. Shevchenko scored his sixth and seventh goals for Chelsea against Wycombe Wanderers in the Carling Cup semi-final on January 23, 2007 , and on January 28, he scored his ninth Chelsea goal in the 3-0 defeat of League 1 side Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup.

He continued his good run of form against Blackburn Rovers by having a total of 7 shots at goal, all on target and was praised by José Mourinho who said that it was his best game for Chelsea so far [10]. Shevchenko came on as a substitute for the FA Cup Quarter Final tie against Norwich City F.C., in which he scored his 10th goal of the season with a header in the dying seconds of the game. His 11th goal came days after, with a crucial equalizer against F.C. Porto in the UEFA Champion's League.
