I'd debate that point based on the fact that Berbatov has only been around for a few games so far, and I'm not entirely convinced that Rooney's recent form and Berbatovs arrival is entirely coincidental...
Of course, not to say Ronny isn't a massive assett himself. Personally, I hope he gets over this immaturity and settles down. I'm actually hoping that Berbatov works out exceptionally well so that will give Ronny something of a new challenge - not being such a shoe-in for best player on the team. I'd rather he stayed long term as long as he gets something of an attitude adjustment and adjusting his attitude is probably easier than finding someone else of his talent. He is still pretty young.
I really place all the blame for Ronaldo's attitude squarely with Real Madrid. This is nothing more than a deliberate (and reasonably successful) attempt to unsettle a player with another club. I swear to God there's gotta be some FIFA rule against this but if there isn't, there outta be.
