Have to disagree there. United would be a far better side if they still had him. If they end up not winning anything this season, as is possible, maybe their reluctance to pay the asking price will be seen as a false economy.
I don't think United's striking options would be their downfall this season. It's the defensive injuries. Fergie must have asked himself "Is Tevez better than what I have here already?". Rooney is a better version of Tevez and Fergie would have felt that neither player would have been at their best whilst playing next to each other. Would I rather have him than Dimitar? Yes. Would I rather he played next to Rooney than Berbatov? No. Tevez is a really good player but, not worth what was being asked for him. We will see at the end of the season though but I don't think Tevez will be the only deciding factor if the title doesn't go to Man U, or, ends up at Man city, which for the sake of decency, I sincerely hope it doesn't.
Good arguement but I look nothing like that guy on come dine with me!
Ferguson knew Rooney couldn't play with Tevez and wasn't going to fork out ?30 mil for a back up to Rooney. Berbatov is a cracking player IMO but he's not Cantona and Fergie paid too much money for him
