10. Dimitar Berbatov: Man United to Fulham

Five goals in eight starts and a whole lot of quality. The Bulgarian had been festering away on the Old Trafford bench when his former Tottenham boss came calling and Martin Jol has got the stylish forward purring away and putting in a consistent series of quality displays at the spearhead of a Fulham attack.

Combining well with the likes of Bryan Ruiz and youngster Alex Kacaniklic and a joy to watch when he’s in the mood.
