Someone Sees At Last: Tevez Isn't Value For Money

Citeh have splashed out over £65 million on 3 players that scored 18 league goals between them last season and were all supposed to be s*@ting ourselves right?

Let him rot? This alone shows how ungrateful some of these so-called Man Utd fans are, seeing that Tevez saved Man Utd blushes in several crucial moments with his effort, talent and full heart, and his love for Man Utd fans no matter what (no matter the rift of him with the club and Fergie), you should be ashamed of yourself. About goals, remember, he scored 19 and 15 goals IN TOTAL in 2 seasons with Man Utd. 15 GOALS, remember this. If not Fergie used him mostly in SMALL GAMES, he would have scored at least 15 LEAGUE GOALS I can assure you, seeing that he scored 14 LEAGUE GOALS in 2007/2008. This guy called Charlie Nicholas I saw the article he wrote on Skysport. He even predicted Owen is the best buy of the season while Tevez is the bad one. What a joke! Of course he said it this way simply because: HE IS ENGLISH. He could be biased and simply wanted to "protect" the once-crock (could be crock again) Englishman Owen and "devalue" the little Argentinean. An English replacing an Argentinean really cheers some of these biased people. Some English are biased like this, and you should remember that. Be4 you talk about Tevez's value, you always have to recall how and what he had done with West Ham, not just Man Utd. It was somewhat a miracle thing what he did with West Ham, and it took very rare and unique talent to achieve that. Show me someone who can do what he did, putting them in Tevez's shoes that time. I bet you hardly find anyone who can do that, except the very best like Messi and Ronaldo. That alone is enough to show you HIS VALUE. Anyone who ignores that is quite biased for sure. Not to mention Owen was completely hopeless with Newcastle relegation fight. This season is all about Tevez vs Fergie, either it will be Tevez who proves Fergie wrong, or Fergie is right about Tevez that he is not worth 25m. Only half way thru the season or the end of the season then we will know who "truimph" here: Fergie is CRAPS? Or Tevez is flop? And of course, whether Berbatov and Michael Owen are as rubbish as they were in 1st season and with Newcastle Utd respectively. Just wait and see. You talk too soon.

windleaf, I dont think you can say that Charlie Nicholas is biased...... he's not English, he's Scottish. Also I think that he's just saying that £25m for a player who doesn't score 20+ goals a season is a bit much. I think that he labels Owen as best buy simply because he will get much better service at Man U than he did a Newcastle, thus scoring more goals, and if he does get 20+ goals then at transfer fee of £0, thats a fantastic buy. Also he wasn't crocked last season or the season before. He was interviewed after the move to MAN U and said “ I played 33 and 32 games in the last two years in a team that was not in Europe and did not go on a decent cup run. Still I was continually labelled injury-prone, which gets up my nose." I'm a Utd fan, and I thought that the 2 seasons Tevez spent with us was fantastic. You're absolutely right in saying that he really did score some crucial goals for us when it mattered. The 2 semi finals in the C/L against Barca in his first season were awesome! He was one of the reasons we got to the final. He pulled us out of the brown stuff plenty of times last season too. I wouldn't have minded Fergie signing him up half way through last season. Although the last 3-4 months of his time with us left a bad taste in the mouth. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for players voicing their concerns to the manager about new contracts (Apparently Man U had promised to sign him up after 2 seasons, if the stories are true) but the way he went about it at the tail end of last season was a bit....off. He seemed to always be talking to the press, complaining that he had no offers from the club and they were treating him badly. He made it clear that he wasn't happy sitting on the bench for the big games, but pro footballers have to realise that by playing in such a big team, you have to expect a lot of rotation. Fergie had to play Berbatov over Tevez a lot simply because he was trying to gel into a new team. Constantly swapping Berba in and out of the team wasn't going to help. By talking in the press ALL THE TIME I think he might have made Fergie's mind up for him. Tevez will always be a special player to most Man Utd fans and he really played his heart out for the club and I wish him all the best. I'm so glad football is back and can't wait for the start of the new Prem season!

Why can't the words "United" and "Truth" appear in the same sentence when a Utd fan is talking about Tevez. I'll bet he scores a couple against you next season to make a point.

John O Shea has scored some pretty important goals for us over the years. There's one at Anfield that sticks out in my head. He must be worth £30 million then! Tevez misses a lot of easy chances inside the box, if Cit-eh create as many chances as we do for him you'll soon see that. As for him rescuing West Ham, well quite frankly if he pulled his finger out of his a***, in the first 6 months of the season and didn't wait till Feburary to score his first goal for them (not from open play either) then maybe he wouldn't have to have "saved" them. The way he ran his mouth towards the end of the season would ***** off any supporter. If he had played for anyone else other than us last year and done the same thing there would be far worse outcry. I think 4 hours of football at Wembley in one season and not a single shot on target sums up what Tevez is for me. Also I found it strange as soon as he made it clear he was unlikely to be at Old Trafford the following season he started to play a lot better. Unlike between Jan-March where I thought he was pretty poor unless playing someone outside the top 8. Maybe Tevez should rethink about playing up front and moving into Centre Midfield.

Thats if he's fit or brave enough to show up at Old Trafford ;-). I'm sticking a fiver on my lunch break saying that he won't even play.

i think most teams would agree that they would prefer to have Owen starting against them than they would Tevez. That doesn't justify his price tag yet very few players can claim to be worth 20 plus million.
