I agree that Saha isn't good enough, and he'll be sacrificed this summer. United did rely a lot on RVN, but I don't know about too heavily. Most seasons they could expect Giggs and Scholes to weight in with a few goals, and Scholes can also play up front off someone else.
Smith is a target man, and he's extremely good at it. Brilliant in the air, brilliant first touch, ball sticks to him. He's excellent at winning and keeping possession. I am a big fan of his and I think if he was given a run in a side, he'd get 15-20 goals a season, easy.
And yes, Newcastle going for Rooney is why he ended up at United. However, I don't see how that is evidence of Fergie fucking anything up. I just don't see your logic here.
