Tevez is a good signing and a step up for them, but he's not only a mercenary, but he's a mercenary who's sold himself to mercenaries. He's prepared to give up CL football for the cash, but none of the others will.
Chelsea got aload of mercenary's sign for them a few years ago too!

Always had Adebayor down as the money hungry type. Didn't he come close to signing for Milan last year, when they were in the Wafer? I know there's a difference in prestige and so on, but Adebayor strikes me as the classless, money-hungry type.
So Man City have taken someone from Villa, Man Utd and are now going after players from Arsenal and Chelsea.
Strengthen themselves by weakening your main (hopefully) opponents at the same time, good strategy - at some point they'll have to work out where they all fit into a team though.

You guys were confusing me, so I had a quick check. According to official lists, Wayne Bridge, Richard Dunne, Pablo Zabaleta, Micah Richards, Nedum Onuoha, Javier Garrido are all defenders – and that's without mentioning Shaleum Logan and Tal Ben-Haim, who spent much of last season on loan.
Plus, (when fit) Vincent Kompany can very easily slot back into central defence.

Well by my reckoning Ferguson has just handed the title to Liverpool or Chelsea with his dealings this summer.
Selling our best player for £80m may be good buisness but only if you then replace the quality that has been lost. We get a winger who still has it all to prove, a striker who admittedly is class providing he is fit and a another winger who spent the back end of last season in French division two.
I don't normally doubt Fergie but I think Rafa will have a huge smile on his face right now after hearing Fergie won't be buying anyone else.
The question also has to be asked about the £105m we should have to spend, is he not buying as he wants to wait until January or maybe even next summer when he needs to replace VDS, Scholes and Giggs or has the money been used to service the debt?
