“Ferguson is loosing his touch to keep talent and replace it coz i haven’t heard of any major player wanting to join united,and we all know he gets his tactics wrong at crucial and crunch matches and only through the genius of his players does united win knockout trophies. Without those players, united might as well be the new lyon,they can win the local league but forget europe.”

Couldnt have said it better myself

@ bobmagee:Im just saying that its hard work maintaining what Manu have achieved recently. The cracks are certainly showing and it could very well all be downhill from here on.How do you explain the lack of interest displayed by any major player?

i along with every other utd fan loved him while he was there. i really do feel the club should have treated him better. however, i also feel that too many people are letting their love of his work ethic/fighting spirit cloud over their judgement of his price (as the author alludes to. ultimately i am pretty disappointed with his choice to ultimately choose money over utd… i recently wrote an article about it here

I always used to say ‘man u are are not a selling club, united doesn’t nature talent for other clubs’,but it seems i was wrong as united seem to let two of their best go in one close season. It doesn’t matter if tevez wasn’t the best, but he was a useful substitute, and a revered striker. Ferguson is loosing his touch to keep talent and replace it coz i haven’t heard of any major player wanting to join united,and we all know he gets his tactics wrong at crucial and crunch matches and only through the genius of his players does united win knockout trophies. Without those players, united might as well be the new lyon,they can win the local league but forget europe.

First both Tevez and Berba were equally paid last year – 95K/week. Second look at the statistics if you will compare them: in the EPL: Berba 282 mins/goal-scored v.s Tevez 372 mins/goal. In the CL: Berba 123 mins/goal v.s. Tevez 196 mins/goal. I am not even going to talk about assists where Berba is great and Tevez is truly a disaster. Also: ManU wins when Berba starts – 81%; ManU wins when Tevez starts – 62%. Do you know what is the difference between a team that wins 81% of their games v.s. a team that wins only 62%? And Tevez complains that he starts only in the least important games against the weakest opponents, which makes this statistic even more significant. You can also look at the Actim Index about how effective the player is – Berba is in the top 10 in the EPL (only CR7 and Berba are there) Tevez is not even in the top 100.

@Razrhead723: Actually, when I read the article I didn’t think it sounded like he was a Utd fan at all, so I checked his profile and guess what….he’s a Newcastle fan!

Makes you look like a mug doesn’t it?

Tevez’s goals per game ratio is 1 in 3 which puts him way down the pecking order of Europe’s best strikers. I wish him well but, as a Utd fan, never wanted him to stay.

“the great Manu is not all that it’s cracked up to be.” Good enough to win 3 league titles in a row, good enough to win the Champions league and get to the final two years in a row, not all that it cracked up to be? yeah right.

After all great success and trophies during a “century” at the ManU bench, old man got senile, lost two great players, cant get any good in and got stuck to two losers in team, Anderson and shitty Berbatov. I am a ManU fan, but, time is for change.

Let me guess… The author is a jilted Manu fan who had to find out the hard way that the great Manu is not all that it’s cracked up to be. Get over it…there’s bigger better clubs out there.

It’s Joorabchian that’s the mercenary not Tevez .Tevez played with his heart on his sleeve every time he stepped out unlike a certain languid Bulgarian yet went unappreciated by SAF and the Manu management. Now his heart is no longer with the club. You can’t exactly blame him for looking out for himself now that the season is done and dusted. Maybe his inoppurtune announcement was a dwliberat attempt to stick it to the Manu board and maybe SAF.
