United swoop for Tevez

Sir Alex wants Argentine star on yearÂ’s loan
Manchester United have made a sensational bid to sign Carlos Tevez, the striker whose controversial move to West Ham cost the east London club a record £5.5 million fine for breaking transfer regulations.
Discussions have taken place between high-ranking Old Trafford officials and connections of Tevez, 23. Hijacking the brilliant Argentina forward from under the nose of north-west rivals Liverpool would eclipse even United’s recent £50m splash for Owen Hargreaves, Nani and Anderson.
The deal, initially thought to be on a loan basis for at least a season, would depend on removing the complications which surrounded TevezÂ’s arrival at Upton Park last August from Brazilian club Corinthians.
The issues had deterred United manager Sir Alex Ferguson from taking up an option to sign the striker and his international team-mate, midfielder Javier Mascherano, when they were offered to United last summer.
‘Tevez was offered to everybody,’ said Ferguson. ‘We were offered both him and Mascherano but, if I remember it correctly, we weren’t sure of the deal.’ -
. It'll be great news. Like i've mentioned before, Tevez would be an excellent foil for Rooney. 
Cheers.

its good, he's settling down in the EPL already
-
i find him quite a simliar player to rooney.
-
Loan?
-
Yeah cos you will never know if his earlier contract with WH will still have any problems later on... Although i don't quite like him, but since its a loan... Not a bad idea cos this way no need to spend anymore...Originally posted by lpx88:Loan?

Why you don't like him?? -
Yea..good deal since he's clearly adapted to the EPL already.
Maybe can even add England Ace Richardson to sweeten the deal -
that would be great and we would have two rooneys. but i guess a permanent move wont come cheap

i offloaded him in my first season, along with Silvestre!! -
i dun think msi will wana loan him out. they'll probably want to cash in on him and mascherano.
-
seriously... no point for westham to loan him out right ? what do they gain ? lol . unless the player die die wanna go
-
What's with SAF stocking up on Forwards? Too many of em.
-
sigh...and i tot tevez was going to liverpool...
-
this is a good smoke screen, cause Tevez won't come...
When so many big clubs are tossed into the salad bowl, why would he choose United??
Cause he loves EPL?? my foot..
Tevez was brought into EPL to do some marketing and then sold for massive profit.
And with MUFC's outlay, we can't afford him.. simple truth..
Let's forget him.. -
didn't Tevez say he wanted to play in Spain or something due to the language barrier? apparently he doesn't understand much english and kept his lessons on hold for awhile.
anw, he'd not the forward that United need right now. no point getting him as Rooney and Anderson are naturals in that position.
besides, United are a big club, big clubs are always linked with big names. go figure. -
Anyhow i cant see United fitting in another striker
How the hell you want to fit in Scholes Carrick Hargreaves Rooney Ronaldo Nani and Tevez/Or any other striker in this case into a 6 man midfield-attack?
There is no doubt that the defence will be taken up by 4 players as the 2 wingbacks are crucial to our success the previous season. So 6 players left. With the arrival of Hargreaves i dont see any striker breaking into the 1st team.
Unless SAF wants to replace Rooney, which i doubt so. -
dey do really need a striker to pump in goals..Originally posted by lpx88:Anyhow i cant see United fitting in another striker

wah... Ferguson is getting bold.. getting all the top players

the team is assembled, but due to formation, may be played differently.Originally posted by lpx88:Anyhow i cant see United fitting in another striker

for me, it will still be 4, with Owen covering the back, and the rest charging..
Nani won't be played full games cause he is new and Fergie will want to protect him. Same as anderson.
Scholes and Giggs are the old heads, so they may play from time to time for those difficult games or when MU chasing.. -
K lor I wont mind Tevez lor 2 angst driven and aggressive powerful strikers is not 2 bad..but i think he most likely go Inter bah..

Tevez to choose between Man Utd, Inter Milan
Manchester United are going head-to-head with Inter Milan for West Ham striker Carlos Tevez.
The Times says Tevez's future is expected to be resolved within the week, with the Argentina forward close to an agreement with Manchester United or Inter Milan.
While a move to United could be appealing for Tevez, his manager Kia Joorabchian has turned down an offer for Tevez from Inter worth about £30 million. The businessman might expect that Tevez would fetch £40 million when it is considered that Andriy Shevchenko, at 29, was sold to Chelsea by AC Milan for £31 million last summer.
Tevez, at 23, has yet to reach his peak and is more proven than Wayne Rooney when United paid Everton £23 million - rising to a possible £31 million - for him.
£40 million for Tevez?? that's MADNESS. -
40 million for tevez
following that logic, Richardson is worth around 120mils?
