Pardon the sensationalist topic title, but its the best title that fits.
My colleagues and I were discussing the Liverpool games yesterday and somehow the conversation turned to Tevez and I suddenly heard: "He's not good enough for Man Utd; they should sell him!".
Before I knew it, I was the only one defending Carlos Tevez and I'm really baffled by this. My colleagues are real football fans, who have been watching football for as long as I have and in some cases for even longer.
This really got me thinking.
To me this guy is class. It's like having a second Wayne Rooney in the team. He runs tirelessly, has great vision and has scored some vital goals already vs Chelsea and against Spurs. How about his goal against Wigan when he was put through by Anderson? I thought that goal to be very classy.
He might not be a pretty boy like Torres or be able to finish from distance like Torres or Benzema , but his tenacity is great and that is something worth gold.
The arguments were that his finishing is not great, he lacks natural fitness, as well as pace, Man Utd already have a player in a similar mould in Rooney, but Rooney's better, Tevez isn't worth his touted price tag and supposed 90k a week wage and someone even said he seems to be a disruptive force on the pitch?!?!
So I would like to know what other fans think of Carlos Tevez, because I think he's class and at 23 he's going to get even better.
