Carlos Tevez

[MaineRoadM14]

hmmm.......if we lose Tevez then Torres may be worth a punt methinks.

I think we may get Torres

Wash your mouths out with soap, you two!

 

[sam-caddick]

Torres, seriously?

The guy is finished at the top now, racks up his goal tally against weak European sides or Championship sides in the Cups, every now and then he might pop up with an important goal and everyone deems him as back to his best... then he goes on a goal drought.

Not forgetting he is 29.

15 goals in 82 league games is shocking.

Hopefully the deal is done.

Setting aside the arguments over the fee and how good he was/is, who will we target as a replacement

I think we still have an interest in Cavani, though his Uruguay performances make you wonder whether he may have a problem replicating his Napoli form elsewhere.

Benteke? Michu?

I expect Pellegrini will be looking at a Spanish/Portuguese or South American player(s). You buy what you know.

And what about Dzeko. Even with the arrival of Navas, I still don't see Dzeko fitting in with Aguero.

 

[cmdub]

Not to get too off topic but I would be shocked if we even enquired about villa, he's getting past it and his wage demands are way too high for what he's offering. Let levy overpay the fool.

We'll replace tevez it just seems like we(fans) have no idea who it will be. Lots of options.

Best of luck Carlos, enjoy Turin

 

[Ray78]

Torres? Nah.

 

[Lomas has a lob on]

Everyone at the club knows how last summer effected our season.

Now with Tevez leaving as well I feel the club must be confident they have a couple of world class signings coming in!!

Question.

Has El Pache really gone, or is it another........(fill in as appropriate)

 

[LoveCity]

Torres - same age as Tevez, similar wage bracket, 1 Premier League goal between December and May. It'd be the most pointless transfer ever. Someone younger and with hunger to achieve things. Torres has won everything.

Good as.

 

[Jumanji]

Good riddance, even though he gave it all on the pitch, I could never look at him the same after Munich.

 

[FrancoisToure]

Err, what the actual fuck? I thought we weren't letting anyone go without his replacement arriving first? We haven't even replaced Mario yet, ffs.

How do you know?

I agree!

Wayne Rooney Or Luis Suarez are the only options imo

 

[DTKOAG]

Get Benteke

 

[Skashion]

I really hope Suarez isn't his replacement. I hate that ****.

i ve just seen him in abduls on wimslow rd,he cant let go,

 

[Marvin]

I can't believe anyone suggested Torres! That's unbelievable

This. But it depends, are we after a secondary striker or a proper goalscorer?
If it's the first one, Jovetic could be an option. But if it's the latter Higuain or Lewandowski would be good.

 

[I'm With Stupid]

Not to get too off topic but I would be shocked if we even enquired about villa, he's getting past it and his wage demands are way too high for what he's offering. Let levy overpay the fool.

Our Spanish blokes have been known to buy older players in the past. The brought in Henrik Larsson on a free when he was 33, paid €24m for Thierry Henry when he was 30, bought Eidur Gudjohnsen when he was nearly 29 and David Villa at 28.

But just on the age issue, Jovetic doesn't need to be as good as Tevez now to be a good replacement. He's only 23, so he'll improve every year.

Hold the phone boys:

RT @ianherbs: Carlos Tevez - Im told personal terms are nowhere near to being agreed. This may not be over yet #mcfc

not done yet it seems, herbs is a reliable guy

 

[Brewster's millions]

I like the look of Benteke but if we do sell Tevez then we need a TOP class striker as a matter of urgency, someone who can play up front on his own against the big teams and contribute regular goals.

Say what you like about Tevez but he's a big game player and we can't be taking chances on players who only offer promise at this stage. Aguero was poor last season, he needs to work on his fitness and Dzeko blows hot and cold - if we sell Tevez then we need to have someone reliable lined up.

I'd be looking at Benzema but I wouldn't be surprised if we end up with Suarez, regardless about what he says about the UK press.
