Summer Sale: Smith Sold to Newcastle for £6 Million

We must be really confident of getting Tevez by this weekend. Just a day after letting Rossi leave, we've lost Smith as well. While I'm not overly heartbroken over this latest departure, it still leaves our front line really thin. As of right now, we have Rooney as the only recognised and healthy forward. Ole is out till a much later date and Saha's perpetually unreliable.

The word out there is that Tevez has finally been released, but until he holds up a United jersey flanked by Fergie wrapping his arms around him in a press conference, I'm not jumping the gun. Even if Tevez signs before the weekend, we're still only two strong in the striker's department. I'm frankly not sure he'd be ready for the Charity Shield against Chelsea.

That means we'd possibly be fielding Ronaldo or Giggs along side Rooney. And touch wood nothing happens to of them in the next few friendlies. I'm really not comfortable with the current situation.

Here's a side note that I found rather amusing:
Villareal bought Rossi to replace Forlan,
Atletico Madrid bought Forlan to replace Torres,
Liverpool bought Torres to replace Bellamy,
West Ham bought Bellamy to replace Tevez,
No prizes for guessing who started the musical chairs.
