Carlos Tévez #32

[orr-bot]

I believe that saha should be sold. When he plays he gives his all but is too frequently injured and so cannot impose himself on the team. Smith is not what i would call united quality he too often makes the wrong run, does not hold up the ball and breaks up quick attacks with indecisive passing.
United got rid of ruud because i fell the manager felt he did not fit into the teams new style of playing. No longer are united a 4-4-2 cross the ball at every oppertunity team. They play quick, flowing counter attack football that often means there is not a set striker required. Giggs Rooney, Ronaldo, and Scholes all find them selves in the attacking third in many different positions throughout the game. I feel that someone like Tevez would be the ideal signing as he is strong, creative, skillful and extremly quick. He would help link up the passing that is so often being slowed down by Smith. At Westham he hasnt been able to shine due to the quality of player around him - against chelsea he was the best player on the park and i feel he would strengthen united if he was bought - probably for a reasonable fee if west-ham go down.
The other option woud be David Villa although he would come with a heafty price tag and unlike Tevez is untested in England

[Johnboy84]

we shouldnt get tevez - him and rooney upfront?? (censored remarks - rd).

Its allright sayin we play the fast flowin football, along the floor etc, but that isnt always going to work, we need a big, strong striker who is also quick,to compliment rooney - my choice would be berbatov or fernando torres. Both pricey though.

[Wolfster]

i totally agree with Johnboy84....tevez is short...but instead of aiming for brebatov or torres...i would say huntelaar or Pazini...y no one has looked at that wonderkid??
pazini is a tall strong quick player and can score headers...i think he would make an amazing partnership with rooney up front

[MANutdTILLiDIE]

thats very offensive saha is amazing hes got talent and hes fast if we need to get rid of someone its gary neville.

Left intact to prove idiocy of poster!! - RD.

[Wolfster]

GET RID OF GARY NEVILLE!!!! are u insane (excuse me but u got me shook up a bit) man neville is a very good right back..one of the best in the world..if not the best...he knws how to coordinate defence..he's simply brilliant...
Saha is a great player...but he's injury prone...time for him to look else where

[GeordieMancunian]

GET RID OF GARY NEVILLE!!!! are u insane (excuse me but u got me shook up a bit) man neville is a very good right back..one of the best in the world..if not the best...he knws how to coordinate defence..he's simply brilliant...
Saha is a great player...but he's injury prone...time for him to look else where
Gary Neville is a fellow Mancunian and is probably the most passionate player in the dressing room along with Paul Scholes. "Get rid of him", that and "Gary Neville", will never be in the same sentence.

[Garnet]

omg cant get rid of neville dude his like the god-father of manu lol

[Blanty]

Get rid of G.Neville, is this guy on crack ???

[manutd_4life]

WTF get rid on G.Neville shut up

[man.utd.singh]

we shouldnt get tevez - him and rooney upfront?? (censored - rd).

Rofl. well said

Tevas? u think the way hes played wiv west ham and how the west ham fans adore him hes gna switch teams?. Berb, Torres, Aguero or even Owen

[mulletsneverdie]

censored - undesirable post.

[man.utd.singh]

Carlos Tevez? Mmmm.....Torres, Owen, Berbatov and Eto'o and we'll settle for the guy with warts on his neck? Nah....

What a stupid thing to say.

[Jay]

Carlos Tevez needs another year in the premiership, maybe until January to prove himself before we should make a big-money move for him.

[Red Devil]

Can I respectfully suggest some of you get your brains in gear before you post such trivial rubbish!!

Thread will be closed if this continues.

[mulletsneverdie]

defensively were as sound as a pound, i think sir alex has learnt a lesson from chelsea and the italians here when building his third team, get your defense right then build forward, the importance of this is paramount as all attacks start from the back. a little worried that the likes of brown and heinze will move on next season in the search of first team football but even so that would give us, neville, bardo, o'shea, simpson, lee, rio, vidic, sly, evra, evans, pique, a whole host of youngsters.

hargreaves to bolster the centre midfield would be perfect, that gives us scholes the genius of a ginger prince, giggs who is being penciled for a more central role next season, fletch the up n comin midfield maestro and all round player, the class act that is carrick, and hargo-efficiency personified. world class all round and all able to play alongside each other no matter what pairing (or trio if 4-5-1) almost forgot o'shea and pique, can also do job

Ribery to add the skill and technique to the wings, from what seen on yon youtube he looks as though he has it all. that gives us Ronnie, Park, giggs if need be, fletch if need be, ichardson, eagles, martin, not forgetting ole, roo or rossi. the new ron nani also a possibility if the funds arent there for ribs

up front if it were possible, try and tempt old larsson back, but in all seriousness if klaas jan goalhunter were to be tempted here without too much bother from the likes of chelsea or milan, then right on, perfect for roo who started his football education with van the man senior, why not reignite that partnership with jan the man junior. roo, smith, saha, ole, dong, rossi and klass jan, bloody nora, i want milan blood next season.

hargo-haggle down to 18mil
nani-17mil
klass jan-15mil

total-50mil bang on, of course tis all speculation and approximations

ribs-25mil, sell brown for 10mil

sorry wrong thread

[Jay]

Sell Wes Brown for £10m? He'll be sold for about £3m and I want him to stay tbh.

[mulletsneverdie]

wes is worth more than 3mil, 10 too much but having grown a lot this few months i think he is a proven himself to be a genuinely class defender, if he keeps his head and gets a full season elswere then well see what he's worth. potentially at the right club he could be as much of a hero as vidic has been to us. wesleys problem is he's not aggressive enough

[de_roiste]

Nani won't cost 17m.. He hasn't signed a new contract yet and so there is no clause for 17m.. He'll be 9-10m

[ARBUCKS]

Buy Klaas Jan Huntelaar his scoring record for ajax is amazing. 38 goals in 47 games this season,

Now that is a striker

[Nathan2k7]

aye i think he should be sold and he should get Klaas Jan Huntelaar hes got 23 goals this year does any one agree we should get him

[ARBUCKS]

aye i think he should be sold and he should get Klaas Jan Huntelaar hes got 23 goals this year does any one agree we should get him


I do i just posted there before u, i think we should try and sign him, he is young as well. His scoring record is amazing!!

[christianity ronaldo]

here watch this video of ribery...http://youtube.com/watch?v=w_WZd-4QThI&mode=related&search=....He is a class act and i think he would be a good signing for united...

[#1RedDevil]

Torres (no) - 8 goals last seson.
Etto (no) - 2 expensive
Tevez (no) - too many teams want him and i herd 31 mil is his price tag :S **** THAT!

Berbatov (yes) - good record, quick, skillfull.
Huntlaar (yes)- great record, quick, replacment for ruud
Owen (yes) - bargin & a proven goal scorer

[#1RedDevil]

Teves & Rooney..

WOULD NOT WORK!

Rooney & Huntlaar/Berbatov would.

[SlipDigby1892]

We have been very strongly linked over the weekend to making a swoop for Carlos Tevez which would see UTD snatching the Argentine star from under the noses of Liverpool. The deal is rumoured to be a loan deal for next season, then a fee being paid in the summer of 2008 if UTD choose to keep him.
Ferguson has been quoted as saying that he seriously considered taking Tevez and Mascherano last summer when they were offered to UTD but the club pulled out of any deal after being unsure of the complications the deal might bring (as was subsequently proved during the season at West Ham).
However UTD now seem prepared to bring Tevez in on loan for a season, based on the outcome of the Premier League inquiry hearing involving West Ham, and should all go well for the 07/08 season and should Tevez keep the sort of form at UTD that he showed in the latter half of the season at West Ham, then a fee anywhere between £14- £25 mil would be paid at the seasons end.
But Inter Milan are set to offer a cash up front deal in the region of £34 mil to sign the player now.

Personally I find this possible deal quite intriguing. I believe Tevez could be a MAJOR asset for us, but also that he might just be a little too similar to Rooney in the type of game he plays. However, if SAF decides to keep Saha and he remains fit for the best part of the season, A mix of Rooney, Tevez, Saha and Ole off the bench could serve us pretty well next season, and don't forget that we have anderson as a possible attacking/forward option too. I'm still not sure that we need this 'out and out' goalscorer that we apparently need so badly, I think it's more important to get a good, solid partnership for the most part of the season, and to have lots of different options to back it up ( as was shown in 98/99 ).

What do you all think people??
Any chance of Tevez?? Do you want him?? Or should we be going for a Torres/Huuntelar/Eto Etc???

[Jazz 16]

I think Fergie is going for Tevez because the other targets are not looking too likely at the moment. I think the main men United were/are looking at are Berbatov, Torres, Huntelaar and Eto'o. Berbatov said he wants to stay at Spurs. Eto'o says he will stay at the Nou Camp and I dont think we could afford him anyway. Torres the same sort of thing and it looks like Juventus might beat us to Huntelaar's signature. With all this in mind, Fergie has tried to get in the mix for Tevez. I reckon he would go to Inter or Madrid before us but you never know.

Tevez is clearly a top player and I think he would fit in really well at United. I totally agree with you Digby about the mix of Rooney, Tevez, Saha and Ole and potentially Anderson. It could prove to be a lethal mix. We cant forget Smith and Rossi too. Not sure who will stay or go but we need one more striker. I would prefer a Berbatov, Eto'o or Huntelaar but if they are unobtainable well then I think Tevez is the next best bet.

You might also be right about not having to buy this "out and out" goalscorer. We sold Ruud and he got 33 goals this season for Madrid but did we miss him? Debatable but I dont think we did miss him apart from maybe one or two matches.

Anyway good thoughts Digby and we'll see what happens.

[The Ronni Rooney Show]

Teves would be sa great asset to the side
If we could get him on a loan deal for this season then that would great as we have already spent big

[lew79]

got to be honest im not feeling it for tevez there is better out there

[MuX]

I c Fergie trying to bring back the good ole Cole n York daiz...not two 30 goals a season buh 2 very high scoring strikers who compined to score a huge amount..and had a great relationship...I wouldnt b suprised he has tried for a target man and is not working out tht he is not looking at the option i think it ould potentially b gr8 if tevez gets the language and then has a link up play wid rooney would be class.

i wud b happy to see him come...he can hold up the ball he may be small but is sturdy...we jus play our high balls a little lower and flatter then...we didnt rele score a lot of headers this season anyway...apart from corners where we got two tall centre halfs

[md92h]

I hope they sign with him. I admire Berbatov and I said before he's the best striker UTD can get. But I love Argentine and i love argentinian players.

[adityashah1989]

News has be surfacing that Carlos Tevez is being signed by United. How true this is I have no clue? But do you think United can sign him? and will he fit in at united?

United close on Tevez!
soccernet.com - July 5, 2007

Argentina striker Carlos Tevez is close to sealing a move to Manchester United.

Click here
The player, source of so much controversy for West Ham last season, is currently on international duty with Argentina in the Copa America.

It is understood however that his representatives and United are close to sealing an agreement for the 23-year-old and he is set to sign once the tournament in Venezuela finishes on July 14.

The details of the transfer remain unknown as Tevez is still under contract for three more years with West Ham.

The Hammers are embroiled in a legal dispute with his agent Kia Joorabchian, who runs the company Media Sports Investment (MSI), after the club terminated an agreement giving the rights to any transfer fee for the player during transfer windows.


Man Utd want 'clean' deal for ace Tevez
tribalfooball.com - July 05, 2007


A Manchester United delegation are in South America attempting to thrash out a deal for West Ham striker Carlos Tevez.

Click Here!
The Mirror says United boss Sir Alex Ferguson hopes to have an agreement for the Argentina international wrapped up inside the next 48 hours.

Ferguson has told his money men to get the Argentine striker and a delegation has gone to South America to get to the bottom of how exactly United can buy the controversial star.

Tevez is playing for his country in the Copa America, but his club future is being decided in talks between United and his handlers - plus former Brazilian club Corinthians.

United hope to sign Tevez for around £20m, but will go higher if necessary. They want to make the Argie a 'clean' signing, without anymore third party interests.

United close on Tevez swoop!
skysports.com - July 5, 2007

Widespread reports claim Manchester United are homing in on the signing of Carlos Tevez.

The Argentine striker is currently on international duty at the Copa America, but rumours of a move to Old Trafford are gathering pace.

Tevez spent last season at West Ham United and scored at Old Trafford on the final day of the campaign to keep the club in the Premier League.

But he is expected to leave Upton Park over the summer, having already opted against joining Italian champions Internazionale.

He has admitted a switch to Real Madrid would hold some appeal, while Arsenal have also been linked with the mercurial front man.

However, reports now suggest Tevez will sign for United in a deal reputed to be worth in the region of £20million.

Sir Alex Ferguson is a long-term fan of the 23-year-old, but has reportedly been waiting for the issue of Tevez's registration to be cleared up.

If United do complete a deal for the former Corinthians star, he would become the fourth major signing of the summer for the Premier League champions following the captures of Anderson, Nani and Owen Hargreaves.

[NOU CAMP 1999]

Tevez would be good but Berbative(though more expensive) would be MAGIC

[mufc 4ever]

manchester united could do with somone like tevez but not for over 20million

[1luv1utd]

He is a great player and is premiership proven but he is a bit too similar to Rooney and plus I think he is a little bit overrated to be honest.

[I.R.baboon]

He is a good player and dont think he is similar to rooney as said by 1luv1utd. He is a player of class. Saha is too injury prone and should go n make way 4 Tevez.

[David.Q]

According to The Times and Thisislondon, Tevez has told argentine team mates that a deal has been done for him to join Manchester United for next season. I don't know the credibility of these tabloids but it will be interesting to see how this situation unfolds. Anyway enough blabbering here's the respective links

[danfelixbuffy]

wld be good if it were true sceptical though, not 4 no £35 million though.
someone else mentioned that 17 yr old brazillian pato he looks quality and would be cheaper,6 years younger than tev-making me feel old!

[johann]

http://www.manutd.com/default.sps?pa...=playerProfile

[KingEric]

Where ?

[KingEric]

i think if true he will be quality for us. Look how well he did in a struggling West Ham side and imagine how much better he could be with Rooney, Ronnie, Scholes, Anderson, Nani, Giggs etc... playing with him !!!

:)

[onlyoneronaldo]

Tevez would be great at United and I would love to see him in a red shirt. Don't forget he was once fined by his old club corinthians for being spotted in a United shirt, so his heart would be there. I would however have preferred Berbatov but that don't look like happenin so Tevez would be great, especially as Saha is made of plywood!

[Jazz 16]

Breaking News: Press Association claims Tevez is close to signing for United. It could actually be happening.

HAHA I'm Xcited... Cnt W8... Tevez jus means we gunna hav another cole and yorke partnership...i think this is furthermore encouraging out interchangeable top 4 for more xciting play. I'm luv it...buh guys he myt be a rooney build buh he has got more strength n cna old the ball up...he has got skills....he cn score goals...our future is bright and i hope for great decada to come :D

This would be amazing if we could sign Tevez.

[hey_dave!]

Yup, looks like this could well be on. All the signals from people who are (usually) bang on with their information point to Tevez signing for United. Should be one hell of a season!

[conwy-red]

would be amazing if we got tevez! still feel we would need another striker though
pato maybe? someone young enough to grow with the team i think...
rooney and tevez up front bring on the treble!!!!!

[hey_dave!]

Well here's a little bit of interesting information. I can't say it's 100% accurate but anyway, apparently Alex Ferguson was seriously thinking about bringing Eidur Gudjohnsen in this summer but Carlos Queiroz wasn't keen so the deal never came about. Queiroz was also the one who set the wheels in motion on the Nani and Anderson deals and shares Ferguson's admiration of Owen Hargreaves. And again it's Queiroz who wants Carlos Tevez to be signed as well as wanting Valter di Salvo - a fitness coach he worked with at Real Madrid - to come to United.

The long and short of it is Carlos Queiroz is being allowed to have a lot more influence over the club both on and off the field as he'll be taking over from Alex Ferguson as manager either after next season, or - I think more likely - after the 08/09 season.

[conwy-red]

that could be a nightmare for utd!! i don't really rate him as a no'2 let alone a manager he was the one who f**ked us off soon as the real job came up!! and he went there and got sacked after one season! complete flop! even with one of the best squads in europe, if the boss where to leave i think keano or sparky to replace him, they know the club, the history, the passion!!

[hey_dave!]

A lot of people forget he was a successful manager before he joined United. He's coached Portugal at youth level as well as the full national team, he was also the man in charge of South Africa during the qualifying for the 2002 World Cup - which they qualified for quite easily as far as I remember.

He's also been manager of Sporting in Portugal, the NY/NJ Metrostars in MLS and a Japanese team so he has more experience than one poor season at Real Madrid - and it's not that often that a manager at Real can pick the team he wants as the owners tend to decide who should play so I don't know how much he can be blamed for the poor season they had in 03/04.

Queiroz is also the man who got Ronaldo to stay at United after last year's World Cup debacle so I personally wouldn't be too disappointed to see him named manager in a couple of years.

[I.R.baboon]

If United sign Tevez, I dont think any team can stand on our way to another treble even Barca cant be any better than us. Pliz let the media rumours be true.

[conwy-red]

fair point he's got some experiance on a national scale but do you really think he's good enough to take utd forward into the next decade for instance

[RichardsReds]

We need Tevez (or another striker possibly Eto or Berbatov) and a RB.

I'll be delighted if we get Tevez!

[Jazz 16]

1348pm: A wee twist in the Carlos Tevez saga. The Argentinian striker reckons that there has been no contact as yet with the Premiership champions, although he did remember to mention that he is flattered by their interest.

Hmmm

[SlipDigby1892]

As has been widely reported, both in the press and on here, it's looking almost a certainty that UTD are on the brink of confirming the transfer of Carlos Tevez.
I've just heard a report from highly respected football writer Gabriel Marcotti that UTD plan to use a 4-2-4 or a 4-2-3-1 formation next season.
Reports suggest SAF wants to try and stick with, carrick and Owen as holding players, then any 4 from Giggs, Ronny, Scholes, Nani, Rooney and Anderson with one of those playing slightly further up the pitch.
Personally I'm not to sure if this formation will work for us, trying 4-5-1 or 4-1-3-2 etc etc hasn't really worked for us in recent years. IMO UTD have always been at their best with a solid 4-4-2 set up with two wingers and a tough two in the centre of midfield. Its going to be difficult to fit everyone in if we do sign Tevez but its quite a good problem to have I would say??
Tevez is proven quality both abroad and in the EPL so its no gamble at all IMO and at 23 years of age his best is well and truly yet to come, also he would have no language problems to the extent that he suffered at West Ham, as he would be able to communicate with Ron, Nani, and Anderson. Also rest assured that UTD would do EVERYTHING to make sure he settled well in Manchester and learned the english language pretty quickly.
It's looking very good for us but the formation is a big worry if SAF starts to tinker with it, look what happened last time SAF started messing with the 4-5-1 formation a few seasons back.....some abysmal performances in Europe and an embarrassing defeat to City spring to mind.....
Surely we need to stick with 4-4-2????
And with Smith almost certain to leave I believe we should keep hold of Saha for sure, he will give us very different options and the opportunities to rest Rooney and hopefully Tevez, everyone seems to forget how well Louis did in the early parts of last season.
What do you think people??????

[hey_dave!]

Well I can't be sure he's the right man for the job, he'd need to be given it for a year or more to see that. On the face of it though he has more experience than either Roy Keane or Mark Hughes and I don't see United appointing an unfamiliar coach when Ferguson steps down, partly because I think Ferguson himself will have a large say in who suceeds him. For that reason I don't think they'll bring in a big name foreign coach who has no experience of the English game, for example a Carlo Ancelotti or a Big Phil Scolari. I think they'll keep it in the United "family" and appoint from within, afterall who better for the new manager to learn from than Sir Alex? And Carlos Queiroz has been doing than for a few years now.

[RichardsReds]

I cannot see us playing 4-2-4. Much morelikely to play 4-4-2 with some pacey wingers. Park, Nani, Ronaldo, Giggs are all good at getting up and down the wings. 4-2-4 implies that players will not be coming back so much which i feel is rather unlikely with the pace of the premiership.

I'm fairly certain Smith will be leaving which is a shame but he was never going to break into the side once Rooney was bought a few weeks after him, coupled with his Injury against Liverpool and being forced to play midfield he just couldn't get his career here going. Shame as he played with 100% effort but he will probably be leaving now.

Louis should be kept even if we get Tevez imo. A very good player with a different style of play. Has scored many very technical goals for us, and some vital ones. He seems to be remembered for his penalty miss in the UCL last season and his injuries. He has though has many good games for us as well and can score goals. If he can get through next season uninjured he'll come good!

[hey_dave!]

Hmm, maybe he's been told to say that... I dunno. The Tevez to United line has been everywhere last night / today so I'd be very surprised if there's nothing going on behind the scenes.

[conwy-red]

think you maybe slightly changing my mind but still would love a utd legend to take charge one day, you only have to look at how many there are in the premiership just shows how much of a mentore fergie is!!!


back to tevez i'm worried if he comes in who'll be on there way out?

[hey_dave!]

The players and staff must learn so much just by being around the man, as is evidenced by Keane, Hughes, McClair, Bruce etc. etc. which speaks volumes for Sir Alex.

Anyway, back to Tevez. If he does come in - and Sky Sports seems to be fairly sure he will join - then I would imagine one or two forwards will leave. Alan Smith is the first name that springs to mind as there is interest from Everton, Sunderland and Middlesbrough for example so selling him would be easier than Saha.The general belief is that nobody would touch Saha until he can prove his latest injury isn't as serious as people first feared.

Giuseppe Rossi is wanted by Parma and probably a couple of other Italian teams so he could end up leaving. Solskjær is too much of a legend to leave and is likely to start coaching at United before too long so he won't go.

Other than them we've got Dong Fangzhou, who Ferguson seems to rate highly so I wouldn't think he'll be leaving any time soon, although he might go on loan.

Ultimately I think if Tevez does sign then Smith and/or Rossi will end up leaving Old Trafford.

[christianity ronaldo]

tevez is sex on legs if he came we wud have an attackin line that cud match barcelona's attack of henry,eto'o,messi nd ronaldinho

[conwy-red]

sex on legs???????????????????????????

barca are gonna be the team to beat in europe next year and i think with tevez up front and our new midfield i don't think they'll get in our way to much, thats injury depndent though,
last season showed how much more depth we need in defence aswell as midfield
although we came out of the defensive injury period relitivly well it all could have gone very wrong, but when you can score as many goals as us who cares how many we let in.............

[Saibot]

exactly i really wnated huntelaar to come but who am i tevez is a kind of player who will always give you 100% on the pitch, some rivals fans mentioned that now we have 2 short guys upfront and won't score goals with headers who cares is all i say we don't need a out and out striker we proved it last season, i just hope Rooney and Tevez are able to adjust with each other cause they are 2 very very similar players and like to get in the same kind of positions!!!!!hell we are we to argue? Sir Alex must have surely thought tevez is the right guy and i trust him completely!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow, congrats on nailing Tevez

yea united do look best when playing 442 but giggs and scholes are too good 4 the subs bench and he didnt spend all that money on anderson/nani for nothing either.when you change a winning formula it usually goes wrong.
in the prem we should play 442 with the same front 6 as last season with hargo and carrick battling with that position with injuries and form dictating who will start.nani and anderson can be slowly introduced but with scholes and giggs still the main starters in their positions-with injuries and form bieng a factor for their replacement with nani/anderson.(hope we get tevez as hes quality,these selection dilemas are a good problem nevertheless)

Tevez is a good player but I think that if we bought berbatov or huntelaar the squad would look even better. With tevez as a potential new signing and more than 70 ponds spent the fact is that we will haave to face some departures from players like heinze, smith, rossi, silvestre, or maybe park

[bobthebuilder]

Dont really mind losing Heinze, Smith and Silvestre but Rossi is the future and Park is a good squad player. An Evertonian mate at work today told me Moyes is closing in on a deal for Lord Snooty £2 million he reckons. I never thought we'd pay Everton that much to take him off our hands

Reports in the last half hour are suggesting that UTD and kia Joorabchian have agreed in principle a deal to take Carlos Tevez to Old Trafford. The deal is quote 'very complex, and will probably see Tevez move in what is essentially a loan deal for the first season, but will result in a deal worth over £30 mil over the next 3-5 years. West Ham are not expected to receive ANY of the transfer fee at all'

Role on Carlos Tevez,the potential partnership with Rooney could be every bit as good if not better than Cole and Yorke. IMO.

Premier League have threatened to block any move for Tevez that doesn't include the transfer fee paid going to West Ham. Sound to me like they are having to come down hard on anybody ekse signing him because they know they ****ed up with West Ham

[SlipDigby1892]

It broke on Talksport, directly off the (press) wire. Also On Sky Sports news.
You're right abt the transfer fee thing, but like I said it's a complicated deal, these are the things that the club (UTD) are trying to sort out before commiting 100% to any deal.
I should also add that Tim Vickery, a highly respected South American football expert and correspondent to the BBC and Talksport (among others) has stated this evening that its not out of the question that Tevez could sign for Arsenal.

We cant let park go hes brilliant and always has an impact when he comes on he had some bad injuries last season but i hope he is more involved this term.
rossi is a good player also and very young one for the future but he needs to build himself up a bit. heinze is still needed/wanted by united but the other two can go-with respect.
