He's often compared to messi and comes out 2nd best. Had he stayed at united, he would have been a legend by now. He's gone to Real at a time when Barca are the team of the moment.
Will united take him if he wants to come back. With barca around, Real are going to be trophy barren for some time.
wah that's vicious.
He is currently the Top-Scorer?

Watch La Liga and I'm sure you'll find that tackles in the league is prohibited. Messi and Ronaldo ghost past defenders with ease! How well did they fare in international stage?

W'SS UP NIGGA!!
Carlos Tevez feels Manchester City have blown their chances of taking the Premier League title.
• Fergie sets 84-point target
• Mancini admits Torres interest
• Hart rejects Mancini criticism
Roberto Mancini's side have produced a fine effort this season, albeit on the back of some huge investment, but they have lost ground in recent weeks with a defeat against Aston Villa and draw with Birmingham.
City trail United by eight points and the leaders have a game in hand, a gap that the Argentina striker feels is insurmountable.
"I'm not happy with the last results," Tevez said. "If we want to fight for the title it is impossible to fail in matches against Aston Villa and Birmingham. To obtain only one point out of six is to concede too much advantage to rivals in the championship race. I have the experience in this aspect with Manchester United and these really are the type of matches where success is the key for the league.
"For us not to have won gives others a big advantage. Consistency is the key to becoming champions and now this is our problem.
"There are still many points left but to give an eight, nine or 10-point advantage to United is to say goodbye to our chances."
Another one who bites the dust. When jordi cruyff was playing for united in those days, he ever pondered leaving due to the lack of pitch time. And his dad told him that when you leave man utd, the only way you're going is down. He couldn't have been more right.
I can't think of any ex player who has left and thrived in a top club of similar stature except for beckham.

Johan Jordi Cruijff (born 9 February 1974 in Amsterdam, Netherlands), anglicised as Jordi Cruyff and known in Catalonia as simply Jordi[1] is a former Dutch footballer and currenty AEK Larnaca's Director of Football.[2] He played from 1992 through to 2010, appearing for clubs such as Barcelona and Manchester United. He gained nine caps for the Netherlands national football team, playing in the 1996 European Championships. Cruyff is also notable as the son of Dutch former player and manager Johan Cruijff.
Jordi played mainly as an attacking midfielder, though he could also appear as a second striker. In his later years, notably with Metalurh Donetsk, he also played as a centre back. After starting his career with Barcelona (under his father's management) and playing for the Netherlands aged just 22, Cruyff's career stalled whilst at Manchester United, appearing just 36 times in the league over four years thanks largely to injuries. His most successful period was arguably with Deportivo Alavés, whom he led to the 2001 UEFA Cup Final. He also played for Celta Vigo, Espanyol and finished his playing career with Valletta in the Maltese Premier League.

you conveniently forget gabriel heinze and ruud and rossi and the biggest gerard pique.....
jordi's dad couldn't be more wrong, how can playing in the uefa cup final be worse than playing in utd's reserves??

heinze went to madrid but did he win anything like what utd would have won? Ruud too. Rossi isn't at a club of similar stature. Jordi played in the uefa cup final on the losing end....and yes definitely better than reserves but definitely not in a top club.
Note that I said "top club of a similar stature". And of course, the next key word is "thrive".

heinze and ruud both won league and cups with madrid and heinze went on to win with marseille so yeah they did win like what utd would have won except for the champs league, anyway you can't deny pique thrived after leaving utd...
i can so easily say that cruyff only went down after barca as well, from playing in euro 96 to being a bit part player to rotting in the reserves..
yeh tks for pointing that out. Includes heinze and ruud. Pique too. Others? no....ha.
