Taking Tevez's off the pitch twattiness out of the argument, his contribution on the pitch has, pretty much, not been bettered by any City player since he joined the club.
In a couple of years time, your Silva's, Kompany's & Aguero's might have an argument against that, but up until now, Tevez has been huge for City ON THE PITCH and, at the moment, is a better, more important player than Balotelli.
Don't agree with that at all.
We won the league last season and played our best football without him and I say that as a Tevez fan (on the pitch).
I can see where you're coming from. Yet, if Tevez wasn't such a twat, and he was part of the team all last season, I'd be fairly sure you'd have had the league wrapped up earlier than the final minute of the season.
If Tevez does stay this season, him & Aguero would be an insane partnership.
I lost count of how many comments I saw on here shortly after his hat trick against Norwich and his cameo against Chelsea, saying how the league would have been over by now had Tevez been around.
His contribution to City, aside from his golfing sabbatical, has been huge and yes, City are good enough to outplay teams without him, as proved for large parts last season, yet I think he'd have made as much a contribution as the rest of them had he not decided to be said dick head.
