Also to think everything would be quiet and we would somehow one morning wake up to see he is in man city blue and not having seen that coming is very naive. There are agents/owners that can send quotes into the press to ensure this sort of deal does not go quietly.

I bet present day only Messi has the ability and talent to achieve what Tevez has achieved. Not even Torres, Rooney, Ronaldo, Berbatov and all other World-Class players that you mentioned can achieve that. It takes a special type of world-class player to do that. If you want to ignore all these, suit yourself.

If you doubt his skill, how would you explain how the hell did he scored that superb second goal against Fulham? Fluke? How about that goal against Man City? How about him get past 2 defenders including Dunne in that games? How about that flick against Wigan? You think that was an easy goal? That flick was from a shot from Carrick, not a pass at all. It took tremendous quick respond, instinctive, strong and incredible skill to flick to the left side of the goal with an almost 90 degree angle.

Tevez’s skill is different than others that it was somewhat raw, or you can call that natural. Not like others, others sometimes try to be “too clever” for eg Berbatov. Tevez uses his instinct or intuition more.

If you still have doubt, doesn’t matter, like i said, just wait and see. Hope he joins a new club to see if you will eat your words. Staying with Man Utd Tevez will forever be second best.

And since you said: none of all these justifies the constant whingeing to the press, I also want to say: if he didn’t say anything to the press, EVERYONE would never understand anything behind-the-scene. I bet he wouldn’t want to keep quiet on the “suspicious” unfair treatment of the club to him. Saying all this was just to let people understand. I can understand, albeit not much. But some people choose to ignore it (because they love the club very much?). If he kept quiet and suddenly switched club and never said anything about how the club treated him, what would most of the fans think? Most fans would not understand and would immediately brand him betrayer. Can you see it now?

When people see the performance or statistics of him are below expectation, they will mostly think Tevez is not worth the price. But what surprise me is that, these people never think of the reason why Tevez’s performance suddenly became “unexpectedly” low (thus not worth the price). They just keep saying Tevez is not worth that much, but never find out why Tevez’s performance seemed to have dropped. They think Tevez’s statistics are not good just because of his own doing, but ignore the fact that there was one man who made all the selection that VERY LIKELY affect his performance. That man is Fergie.

Think about it. A good player never drastically has his performance dropped suddenly without reason. In fact some of you can see Tevez wasn’t that bad after all, especially the last few games when he got to PLAY MORE REGULARLY. Before that (be4 FA CUP Semi-Final), it was “irregular play” for him, Fergie did this to him.

Can you see it clearly now? Can you see why you say he isn’t worth that much money makes no sense at all? If he had played regularly and thus played at his best, would you doubt him not worth the price? You say he is not worth the price but have you thought of why he seemed like unable to play his best?

Fergie dropped him most of the time (intentional or not we don’t know), thus affect his performance, thus affect his statistic, eventually affect his value, thus almost everyone think he is not worth the price. Fergie’s WISH has fulfiled, very successfully indeed.

I am not advocating that we keep Tevez as I believe he isn’t worth half the pricetag placed on him. But United are not faultless here and their treatment and teasing of this player for an entire season was terrible and brought on the theatrics to the fans and the big mouth to the media. To be totally honest, I cannot blame Carlos one bit for feeling betrayed. But if I am also fair, I said before the season started that if Berbatov signed with United, that would mark the final season here for Tevez because he would definitely become the third striker. He just wasn’t worth the money being asked for him.
