F#ck 'em. In fact we need to stop building them up so much. A large part of their titles in the 90s were given a little nudge because of the numbers of teams unwilling to try and actually beat them. They got point after point against teams looking for a draw because they kept going for 90 minutes and finally the opponents tired. You get a few results like that early in the season and you start making the reputation stronger. Every team's beatable.

yea but there is no denying tevez is goin to make them a better side next season...
him and rooney han and will work together imo... both are very good players with brilliant skills and both have very good finishing... just because both come deep alot to help out in building up play doesnt mean that they will score less goals... i think scholes and giggs and gradually going to make room for the new players and have to admit that they have all it takes to win the title again next year...
people keep going on about them because they are the champions and are our competition... its just natural...

i see what ur tryin to say but in reality...them signing tevez does make a difference... if we had signed him im sure manutd and chelsea fans would have taken us more seriously as title contenders given the quality we would have had in our squad...

as things stand...man ud hav the best defence and forward line in the league atm and are looking like strong favorites to winning it again.. no building up just realistically speaking

i definitely expect more playrs to come in.. big names ... players like quaresma or mancini or owen will improve our side dramatically imo...

i agree, having the likes of both rooney and tevez up front would surely be more than a bonus.

if tevez DOES sign, id expect either one of them, or even both of them to end up in the top 3 leading scorers next season. hopefully new boy torres can match it up with them

signing up a player like a quaresma would  definately add some much needed flair into our squad, i dont know why were not looking into him more seriously, he's capable enough to be the sort of winger were looking for.

I can see Giggs declining but Scholes probably not, given his style not relying on pace at all.
As for attitude, i see it as us not having raised enough standard whereas our main competitors have/going to

I totaly agree with you on this one, Tevez and rooney are exactly the same type of  player they would do the exact same moves for the ball and end up getting in each others way.not one of them is a predetor in the box type of player, but i suppose in this day and age you dont get your typical goalhanger,i hope they dont link up well because i can see man u being unstopable,On the other hand bothe Tevez and Rooney like their food they could grow fat together!!!
