Even alex ferguson seems to be a bit rattled this days till he starts voicing his 'concern' regarding chelsea's spending power and apparently..its 'ruining football'..something along those lines. Add that together with real madrid's new spending phase once again, man u seems third fiddle many clubs selling choice. Gone are the days when man u could bid for players around 25-30 million and other clubs lose out on the players because clubs like chelsea and real madrid would just double the bid to 50 million and leave man u feeding on scraps. Furthermore, man u does not have the pulling power as it once had for players to want come and play in old trafford. Many players have turned their backs this past couple of seasons on man u and have chosen the likes of liverpool, arsenal and even teams like spurs and newcastle. Well mate, the other clubs lived with it when man u were doing that for years and somehow got on with it. Now that phase seems to have come and turned its back to man u..seems like karma doesn't it? Live with it:) Hmm..its nice to see man u fans getting worried about transfers…after all, prior to chelsea, they were the ones ‘controlling’ the english premier league by outbidding every other club for players..and fans just loved it because they felt they had the total supremacy to pick and choose whoever they wished and wanted.

Do we still believe that with the present squad we can ever win the premier league, let alone the Chompions League? I do not want to sound distructive as i am not being so. ITs just the truth. Give me a break and stop mentuioning injuries. Its just an excuse. All teams suffer from injuries and nevertheless they keep going as they have enough stength in depth. For every positon they have two players of the same calibare. Is there anyone out there who sincerely think that our midfield can be compared to other world class teams in Europe? We badly need to engage 2 world class constractive midfield players who are capable to turn defence into attack in seconds. We all know why Ruud scored much less goals since the departure of Beckham. HAs anyone provided him with the same service? Definately no. What worries me the most the how the club set his strategy to bring in new players. Can anyone explain to me why we never secure players' signitures before the management, staff players go on holiday? what sense does it make to go on a pre season tour with half the squad? Wouldnt it be more suitable to have the squad ready before the pre season so durng the pre season all the players would have the chance to gel together as a squad? At the moment this is taking too long with the premiership alread underway which is costing us valuable points in our first games. The club stated that all required signing will be done befroe the world cup. I had my doubts over this statement because this never happened. We keep dragging on and end up losing our targets. Lets stop playing with words. We need to strengthen our squad if we really want to be considered as real challangers for the title and champions league trophies. Results of recent years speak from themselves. Three years without winning anything is long enough, and please dont mention the league cup. We all know what we said to Liverpool when they claimed that they have won the treble a few years ago. Mario Fava Why cant we be honest with ourselves???

Read the names of our opponents when we were enjoying a winning streak from March to May. They were not convincing. Wigan, Wigan, Newcastle, WBA, Birmingham, West Ham, Bolton, Arsenal. When beating Arsenal, Wenger hid Henry for Champions League. And then we lost 0-3 to Chelsea. Absolutely no chance. This is our true level(with these players). Let alone that we didn't need to play in Europe at that time. What a shame. If we still use Giggs and Scholes as first-choice midfielders, we'll have to fight for the fourth place with Tottenham Hotspur in PL this season. Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool are definitely better than us. “And we still managed a fantastic run-in to the end of the last season.”
