Well this is a no brainer comment from Fergie really.

IF Tevez comes (I hope not) then we'll have Rooney, Tevez, Saha, Smith, Ole, Rossi and Dong.

To me, Dong is useless, and should be sold. ASAP.

Ole is a bench player, and will only start in drastic situations. He knows this, and I feel this will be his last season. We won't be getting rid of him.

Rossi is young and very very promising. I would hope we don't get rid of him as that would be retarded. I guess we could loan him out again, but I don't like that idea either. I'd rather he stayed and got regualr playing time.

Smith is an interesting topic with me. He's got heart, and such a drive and determination to do well and for the team to win. He is 100% committed to the cause, but the only problem is that the talent isn't there to go with it. imo, he's a lot like Keano, in that, what he lacks in natural talent, he makes up with intangibles, but he's nowhere near being the impact player that Keano was for us. His goal scoring record is fairly crap as well, especially considering he's a striker. Smith is one candidate for being sold off imo.

Saha is another interesting one. There is no question whatsoever that Saha has a great amount of talent, and makes an amazing contribution to the side through goals, and his off the ball play. However, the major major major strike against him is that HE'S ALWAYS FUCKING INJURED!! He's been with us since January of 2004 (so three and a half seasons now) and I would be surprised if he's played in two seasons worth of matches in that time. He's has just been ravaged by injuries during his time here and I think it's starting to get to Sir Alex a bit. It really takes the piss imo. Saha should be another candidate for being sold, BUT ONLY IF WE ACTUALLY GET TEVEZ..

Speaking of.. Carlos Tevez. He's a great talent, and towards the end of last season he seemed to adapt himself to the English style of play quite well and show what a capable player he is. There is no doubt that he would be a great addition to the squad, but I'm not entirely sure we need him. Aside from the fact that getting him would give us 6 strikers (not including Dong) and would require us to sell a couple of them. Not to mention the fact that, as we've seen, he'll bring a bunch of off-field headaches. This whole ongoing saga around him has grown tiring already and I wish it would just stop already. If this is a sign of how hard it'll be to sign him, then I really just want us to back out of it.

Rooney. No brainer. He's 21, and has amazing talent. He's one of our stars of the future. We'd be stupid to sell him.
