Tevez [Merged]

[AntonDonJuan]

I didn't want Tevez at first, but i've gone full 180 degrees on this.

I really, really hope we sign him purely for what he will bring to the team with his attitude and desire to win. Add that on the to of the fact he's a great player and it will be an ace signing.

His workrate is second to none and his pass and move attitude will create a lot more chances for us

Agreed. Will also defend from the front which makes it easier for our midfield.

This samual eto'o business does not strike me as a typical hughes signing. Tevez does however. I think he's being pushed into it and would probably choose someone else other than eto'o IMO

He sounds just like a Hughes type player to me, falling out with the darling of Barca for not working hard enough sounds like the type of player Hughes would love.

cant believe I've become so arrogant so quick but getting Tevez and not Eto'o would leave me feeling a bit empty, easy to lose track of where we were not so long ago and just be grateful for what we are going to get rather than panicking over who were not

I am every bit as shallow and arrogant as you. This is what it feels like to be a rag, I shouldn't wonder.

We could potentially end up with none, i would be delighted to get both but really happy to get just Tevez and to get none i would feel Empty!

Is that the to of the fact or the Eto'o of the fact?
Either way I agree.

From the Guardian:

Carlos Tevez has said that Sir Alex Ferguson "made a mistake" by not starting him in Manchester United's Champions League final defeat by Barcelona. The forward has also spoken of his pain at regularly being among the substitutes last season as he prepares to end his stint at Old Trafford.

Tevez's contract expires today and he is expected to move to Manchester City after turning down the offer of a fresh deal. He believes his last game for United, against Barcelona in Rome, would have ended differently had he been selected from the beginning rather than thrown on for the second half with the team 1–0 down.

"You cannot argue with Alex Ferguson," he said. "He is like the president of England. It is impossible. You always lose. But he made a mistake to leave me on the bench. That was the only final the team had lost since I had been at Manchester United."

Tevez has no regrets at rejecting the chance to extend his two-year stay at Old Trafford. "My family knows how much I suffered at United. I could not arrive home after a match or a training session and forget my pain. It was not good and I transmitted all my sadness to them."

If he really did say those things, he's slamming the swamp door firmly behind him.

"President of England", eh? I can see someone being a bit pissed off with that.
