Hamsik and Sanchez could be huge in the future, IMHO. If we spend some money on them (and maybe Valencia), we could come hard after Benzema and Ribery. That would be strong position. Wasn't Fergie given 100 million, plus Ronaldo's money for the market?b I think I read it at goal.com... We could go for Hamsik too, I’m surprised he’s not even being mentioned.

Of course it is a team game.I just mentioned players who i think have played a larger role than Tevez.And as you corrected me, there are some others too.Tevez has played a part,but i don't think his departure would hurt the team's title chances that much.Especially if we got another prolific striker help out now that Ronaldo is gone.Since you asked,i would say that Tev and Berb bring different things to the club and in an ideal world,i would like both to stay.But you know what?Maybe i would prefer Tevez. I didn't want to feel the way i do about Tevez,but his actions in the last month have really disappointed me.I understand him being insecure about his future.That's never nice.But he could have made these noises after the title was clinched.And i don't like professional footballers who get payed what he does to talk about horrible and terrible treatment.He comes from a country going though rough times,so he should know what bad treatment is really about.And the other puzzling thing is that we made the offer he wanted yet he doesn't look like commiting to us.That's where i question if all this has been about the lack of respect he feels or that he will have a better contract at City. I am saying that he wil leave based on what i read from the news sites.Last week a source of his said that Fergie's phonecall didn't have much success.That does hint where things are going.I hope i am wrong.If he stays and gives his all(which he undoubtedly will),then it's up to fans like me to put our foot in our mouth and put the team above anything else.

Rio never manipulated his relationship with the fans to get what he wanted. Rio didn't make a title deciding game with Arsenal his own farewell party. Rio didn't constantly talk against the manager in the media. And Rio always was quick to allay fears about him leaving. Players have every right to hold out for the best deal possible. They don't have the right to think that they are bigger than the team and make their issue bigger than the capture of a record 18th League title. That's why Tevez turned out to be a bullshiter and that's why many United fans won't shed a tear to see the back of him. @reddy brek man:
