An ode to a Real Devil

Back when we were already champions

You were with the Hammers, fighting to stay up

We met on the last match of the season

And you single-handedly kept them alive in the League

Scoring a single goal that their fans will forever remember

We told ol' Fergie; "Sign him up!"

And he did

So began 2 years of loyal service

You fought for us

Chased for us

Heckled and closed down for us

Never gave up on us

And most importantly, scored for us

Who will forget those last ditch efforts?

The powerful strikes?

That wonderfully improvised back heel?

Then came the languid Berbatov

You found yourself on the bench

It must have been hard, watching from there

But when you came off it, you gave your all

The fans loved you

The players loved you

We told Fergie again; "Sign him up!"

But we were too late

Too late to mend your heart that was broken

We tried our best, but you thought us insincere

Its a pity that you chose to leave

Please, if you haven't already made up your mind

There'll be millions of us welcoming you back with open arms

I await your say, come first July

PS: Thanks for not joining Liverpool, but try to avoid Chelsea or Manchester City? We don't really like them either. I strongly suggest you consider Hull City, first-team opportunities won't be lacking there. You might be playing alongside Owen too, he'll complement you perfectly with his "charisma" and "looks".
