"As he is not our player, everything that goes on with him is analysed on this premise. "It's good for papers to say Tevez isn't playing. But when it is (Michael) Carrick, (Darren) Fletcher, (Ryan) Giggs or (Paul) Scholes, nobody could care less. "I have 23 players. Up front, I must choose between Tevez, (Wayne) Rooney, (Cristiano) Ronaldo, (Dimitar) Berbatov, Nani, Park Ji-sung, Giggs, Scholes and some youngsters. "You can't play them all together. "Players like Tevez, Rooney and Ronaldo are still progressing. For me, a player reaches maturity at 26-27." So do you think Fergie wants to keep him or is he looking elsehwere?

Scholes and Giggs will be used sparingly next season, and if Hargreaves can't overcome his injury problems then I'd say Fergie might be in the market.

I really hope we keep Tevez and I think the real problem in the deal is this Kia Zorabchian (sp) We do seem to have a few CM's right now with Fletcher, Carrick, Anderson as well as Hargreaves, Scholes and then there's another couple emerging in Gibson and Possebon. The trouble is Scholes is coming to the end, Hargreaves injuries are a problem. Anderson, Gibson and Possebon need more time. So we do need another CM who will score and create more goals. Can't think who tho...

Seeing him there and then playign for ROI he won't make it at Utd but probably will at a lower Premiership club. And have seen Possebon quite a few times and still aint convinced. I like the look of Raul Garca at Atletico, and Javi Martinez is another good player. Hamsik at Napoli is another one thats highly rated and we were linked with him a few summers ago.

Dasterdly Chipmunk Posts: 6,563 Group: Members Member #7 Joined: September 5, 2007 Team: Man United Players: Robson/Zidane/Henry	Hamsik will stay in Italy imo. Juve are looking for a replacement for Nedved and Mourinho has been sniffing around lately.

Not sure about Gibson either, not likely to be anything more than a squad player even if he does make it, but we need a first choice CM. Hamsik's looked quality the few times I seen him. Monu I'm not convinced about Veloso or Moutinho tbh. Moutinho looks a bit lightweight and I don't think he is that skillfull. Veloso looks alright but can he open up defenses, I'm not so sure...
