Man U needs to sign Carlos Tevez!!!!!!

[Manchester Unizzle]

Man United needs to sign Carlos Tevez because he will be the next soccer superstar. He is not a wanker like Veron this guy is the type of guy that can change an outcome on a game. We need to sign superstars not losers 2nd rate losers.

i'd prefer not to see carlitos in england, especially with man u.

[BillyManutd]

Which team does he play for? Why you suggest this player?

[Acronym]

Supposed to be the new Maradonna, stocky looking dude. But as usual; he slip through the net.

[prk166]

I'm more interested in keeping an eye on D'Alessandro's progress at Wolfsburg.

He's a great player. I have no doubt he'll be successful at the highest level. But, there's always the culture-shock/change that affects players, particularly when the weather, food, culture, language and style of play is so dramatically different. I doubt he'll be an instant hit if he comes to the English Premiership. I'm not convinced that he'd partner RVN or Saha very well, and I do think he'd get hacked a lot in the Premiership because he sometimes holds the ball too long. I don't think he's the best fit for United. But, he is an outstanding player.

Tevez is overrated.

He does not have good technic..averige. He will out work you and fight for every ball and that is it

As for his technical skills, we're talking about the EPL here so that's not a huge concern. And prk166, I could foresee D'Alessandro having the same sort of adjustment problems that Veron has had. I agree that he's definitely a young talent to keep an eye on nonetheless.

I still think if Man U is looking for a promising young forward as backup for Saha and RvN, then they should sell Forlan and go for Inter's Obafemi Martins. Defense/DM seem to be where the big problems are at though. I like Dj2 and I think he could be a good player for them if given time and patience. This season has understandably been a bit hard for the guy.

[roarksown1]

With those teeth, I'd be worried about him biting Ole Gunnar if he gets subbed out...

[Jc18star]

From what I have seen this guy is very good. He would do fine in the EPL, not too sure if Man Utd. is the best for for him though, he is a forward who can play attacking mid, but his style is not suited to work very well with RVN and there is no way you could leavea healty Scholes out of the the ACM spot.

He is very highly rated among the elite of the game including Maradona who says hes the best young Agrie in the past 20 years. Take from the hype what you will but I would try and sure up my back four if I was running the show, since it seems that the plot has been lost back there since the whole Rio issue.

[johno]

I think Tevez is good, however, I think before ManU decides on who to buy we need to decide what formation we want to play and what style of play we are going for... we also need to get rid of players who are not top class...

Butt, P. Nev. and Forlan. Fletcher needs to be sent on loan somewhere.. he may become a useful player but he is not good enough yet, and rather than play him ahead of someone who can help the team more...

It matters not who we buy, but whatever we choose, we must commit to a plan and make the moves necessary without restraint...

we dont need 2 have a fire sale... just add class at 2 or 3 spots...

[astabooty]

i dont see how ppl can think tevez is overrated unless if you only hear about him from argentines. for me, he is the best u20 i have seen (havent watched soccer for many yrs). living in ecuador i watched every game he played in and he is awesome. he isnt a #10, but i would say he is a creative forward, but he is also a very good finisher. not sure bout this...i dont think his goal stats/ratio is up to cavenaghi's, but if he were played as a pure striker i think he would rack up goals. yes he would play well with ruud, but then scholes would have to play as a center mid, not attacking. and he should go to spain i think.

[18yardboxterror2540]

Tevez is a talent no doubt but there's always something about South American players that leads me to believe that they aren't built to play for United. Whether Kleberson will pan out has yet to be determined. We all know what happened to Veron. Forlan needs to be sold after this season, end of story. I'd prefer to see Tevez in Spain where he would obviously flourish.

Personally i'd like to see United spend on a shock deal for Kieron Dyer from Newcastle. Of course i'm only dreaming but you never know. I'd also have to agree with Panzo. I'd love to see Obafemi Martins in a United shirt. For me he's one of the fastest players in the world, on and off the ball. His pace is sick. He'd cause problems against every Premiership defense.

Martins? I like that one! I don't know if Inter would part with him. He's already looking good at 20. I don't see him as a replacement for Vieri. But with him, Kallon, Recoba, and Adriano all available for Inter, I can see Vieri being sold. Especially if that would help them land Davids and buy Ferrari.

Except we're not talking about the EPL, really. We're talking about the top 3, in which just about every player has excellent technique.

At United, RVN, Saha, Scholes, Keane, Ronaldo, Giggs, and Ferdinand all have exceptional technique. And so do O'Shea and Silvesture, for defenders. And so does Kleberson, on the bench.

Tevez is above average, technique-wise... though perhaps not what you expect from a South American superstar.

As for D'Alessandro... I loved watching him play for River. But I don't think the EPL is the place for him. He likes to spend too much time on the ball, and he's far more light weight than Veron. He'll be a star somewhere, i think - but not at an EPL club.

[bigtoga]

Many discussions have been had over this in the last rumor/transfer thread. Yes, he's a great player. Yes, he's being courted by every top team in the world. No, I don't think he'd come to United.

The kid's a top-drawer talent who wants to *run* the midfield - he won't do that in Madrid, Manchester, Milan, etc. He's likely going to have to go to a slightly smaller club to get that sort of control.

His story is virtually the same as every top young #9/#10 coming out of River Plate/Boca for the past decade. Great young talent, needs a lot of time on the ball (not with each possession; I mean in the overall flow of the game he needs to control possession thus getting lots of the ball to be effective), has unreal vision, can do things most can't even think of with only a quarter-second first-touch, etc.

I just can't see this type of player (who wants/needs the ball so much) breaking the starting eleven at United, Milan, Madrid, etc. If Roma get rid of Totti, that might be a good spot for Tevez. Or Porto - Deco is leaving; would be a spot for Tevez there... He could fill those roles well - that's the kind of position/placement he needs and the top 3 teams in the world just aren't giving that to a kid who hasn't played a European game. Don't get me wrong - these teams have no problems giving starting roles to "kids"; usually though, they only do so after the youngsters have proven themselves in a Dutch league, a Spanish league, a Portuguese league, or even the Youth/Reserve ranks of their own. Loan programs work well for this type of thing also.

Tevez's agent is seeing $$$ right now and wanting to cash in. I'd guess he's looking for a possible UEFA Cup winner for next season. If he can get his "talent" on a team that goes deep into the UEFA Cup for two or three years in a row, then Tevez will be one of the high profile players in the Euro-game (and could start for United, etc).

[Robert25]

Tevez is in demand, but Boca are not willing to part with him just yeat. I think he'd be better off in Spain or Italy perhaps. but it does appear he has the chance to become an exceptional player in a few years, then we will see if he is really the new Maradona as some have said of him.
