Carlos Tevez

[Davs 19]

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.

Michu is interesting for me. 17 goals for Swansea who play a similar style but with players that are not as good as ours.

Who knows. Tevez will take some replacing though

Michu got found out very quickly for me.

How many goals did he score in the second half of the season ?

yet again..We get shafted...10 Million....

Shafted?

Considering everything its a good deal. Age, contract, agents, family all counting heavily against him. Not sure how we could have got any more.

See above!

See above! the See above!

Do we really need a replacement for Tevez?

My understanding is that we will be playing a 4-3-3 of sorts next season, so for CF we will have Aguero, Dzeko and Guidetti. (or a replacement if Dzeko goes).

That's 3 players for 1 one position.

We have Nasri, Silva, Navas & Milner as a possibility for 2 wide positions of the front 3. For me, Milner is better playing from a deeper role as he doesn't have the pace or trickery for an out & out forward, so I'm more than happy with the Isco signing ; )

If it happens

In that case, we'd still need to sign a goalscoring winger then, because God knows none of our current midfielders know where the net is.

Farewell mate, for a while back then I thought you were great.

Won the league with his goals. Comedy. Some ridiculous levels of mental gymnastics going on here.

We need a 25 goals per season striker. FACT.

What a difference a week makes.

From signing Fernandinho and Navas, now Cavani and Isco have slipped away at the last hurdle. Tevez leaving. Does this mean we are stuck with Dzeko? Unbelievable. I have faith in Soriano and Begiristein, but it isn't looking good.

THIS. we went from a very promising window to a disaster window in "five red seconds" IF something els doesnt happen in this window.

but i feel a bit underwhelmed by all this.

Must be like Christmas come early for you, quite sad really that this is probably the pinnacle of your week.

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

I'm done with ITK's at the moment. No offence!

I liked Tevez. Thought he was hard done by by mancini.

But right time to go for us

However he has to agree terms I think. Hopefully that's all been sorted in advance
