Me too and I can already see the situation next season where Saha gets injured for six months and we'll call for Ferguson's head on a pike because he sold our most prolific striker.
I really don't buy into this "we play better with Saha" that I've heard countless Utd fans saying. We've played our best attacking football this season with Park and Ronaldo on the wings and a steady midfield of O'Shea and Giggs and they seem to be doing well. Before that Ruud had the likes of Fletcher and Richardson playing behind him and a poor Scholes as well (well up until end of November), with Ferguson refusing to play Park or Smith. Ronaldo was missing for a lot of the beginning of the season.
Saha just doesn't do it for me I'm afraid, maybe it's the impending injuries that he's yet to get or his woeful first touch. People underestimate what RVN actually does, he's from the Mark Hughes mould, holds the ball and distributes well. This nonsense of Saha being sharper is quite frankly a load of poo, he's playing with a consistent midfield behind him and they are playing well at the minute. IF RVN had that from the beginning of the season, Saha would be on the bench these days watching RVN score loads.
Now what we have is a RVN with low morale, not feeling appreciated by the management for his loyal service. I'd criticise Ferguson's tactics before I would RVN playing ability. What's that saying about playing to the strikers strengths. Ferguson used to do this, but his tactics and decisions the last few years would have pushed most players out of the team wanting to leave, but RVN stayed.

Obi M if he sorted his head out could be worth waiting for. At least he would get a game for us.
DJx2 was the weakest piece of crap I've ever seen kick a ball for us, Fletcher is number 2 because he's expected to be weak, Ferguson built DJx2 up as if he was Vinnie Jones. My 9yr old brother could knock DJx2 off the ball.
Obi Mikel will never set foot on the grass at Old Trafford to play for us. Won't happen.
