Who will Tevez be playing for next season?

I know it will most probably not happen, but Tevez to Inter would be a good match.

Man Utd in talks to sign Tevez

they are just going on fergies comments at full time.

saying they are in talks with him. thats why i said in the matchday thread, he will be staying.

tevez steps up again and score when man utd really needs a goal, just like last season

he must be one of the best "big game players" in football

i would have him at barca for around 20m

Kia has said that no offer has been made !

Kia claims no offer has been made, Fergie says discussions have taken place.


Kia being a moneygrabbing c**t is probably lying, though with Fergie's alcoholism it's hard to say.

Tev told: Fight for freedom! By SHAUN CUSTIS

CARLOS TEVEZ can break free from his owners and stay at Manchester United.

That was the sensational message last night, as the row over his future intensified and the European Parliament prepared to get involved.

United are refusing to pay the £26million fee demanded by a consortium led by Kia Joorabchian, who owns Tevez.

And Chris Heaton-Harris, president of the EU’s powerful Sports Intergroup which deals with sporting matters across the continent, insisted there was nothing to stop the Argie striker going his own way.

East Midlands MEP Heaton-Harris is an influential figure in Brussels on sports issues and admitted he has been shocked by the Tevez saga.


He told SunSport: “It is unique and bizarre that an entity, rather than a club, owns a player.

“In employment terms, Carlos Tevez has a contract himself with this company. But if he went to the European Commission and said he wanted out of it, he would get European support.

“It is just an employment contract. You can’t keep a person to a contract that he doesn’t want to continue in.

“Under European law, he has the right to break this contract.”


There is, of course, no evidence that Tevez wants to break from his owners or Joorabchian, who is also his adviser.

They agreed a loan deal with United two years ago. It had the proviso that, if United wanted to keep the player, they would have to pay £26m for him.


United have not exercised that option, so Joorabchian and his consortium say that it is time to look elsewhere.

Sources close to the player insist he does not want to stay at the club and that he is happy for his ‘owners’ to decide what his future should be.


But United boss Alex Ferguson disputed this on Wednesday night, insisting Tevez wanted to remain and the club had made him a new offer.

SunSport revealed on Wednesday how Tevez’s contract with his owners could contravene European labour rules.

We explained how the argument made by Jean Marc Bosman in 1995, which radically changed football’s transfer system, could be applied to Tevez’s situation.

And United themselves have been exploring possible legal loopholes in the third-party ownership clause of Tevez’s contract. Heaton-Harris added: “Bosman was tied to a football club and Tevez is tied to a company. There is very little difference. It is a simple follow-on from Bosman.

“The football authorities have been amazingly slow to understand the problems that this sort of arrangement causes.

“They could have sent this to the European Commission long ago but chose to sit on their hands and this is what has happened as a result.

“If the FA and UEFA had come to us with this problem in the first place, there would have been none of these contracts and it would have been job done.”

Tevez grabbed an amazing equaliser in the 2-1 victory against Wigan with a clever backheel flick and Wayne Rooney has joined the

fans clamouring for the Argie to be signed up on a permanent deal at Old Trafford.

Rooney said: “Carlos scored a fantastic goal to get us level. He is a world-class player and you always want to see those sorts of player at your club. He is great to play with. He has a lot of energy and has scored some vital goals for us. His work-rate is brilliant and, hopefully, he will sign to stay with us.

“But I don’t know what is happening behind the scenes. It is hard to say what will happen.

“His English isn’t very good but he’s a great lad and it is great to have him in the camp.”

The match-winner at Wigan, Michael Carrick, added his call for Tevez to stay.

He said “We want to keep the squad together as much as we can.

“It is great here and we still haven’t peaked, so it would be nice to keep together.

“Obviously, Carlos is a top player and the fans love him as well. It is not so much the number of goals he scores but the importance of them.

“His goal against Wigan was a classic case of that. He came on, scored and got us back in the game.

“Hopefully, he can score a few more over the next couple of weeks.”

It is the Sun and you have to laugh at the title (Fight for freedom) but It'd be nice if we could get him for free.

Tevez needs to go somewhere where he'd be the main SS. You'd see the best of him there. I do think him and Higuain would be a good partnership at Real.

If United get Tevez for free (which they will), will we get a refund for Mascherano?

If he stays at United then it's money over football I guess...which isn't what I thought Tevez was about.

Why is it money over football Luis?

Because if he really loved football he would obviously move to Liverpool.

What's going to change that will allow him to start the majority of games for United next season? he's an amazing player and he needs to be playing every week. This wont happen at United. It will happen at Liverpool.

In the 4-2-3-1 system?

Ray Parlour wrote:In the 4-2-3-1 system?

Yes, We haven't really got an established player on the left hand side of that system, don't see why Tevez can't play there. If we were to sign him (which we wont) I doubt Kuyt would play as much as well. Kuyt starts nearly every game because we don't have another player to play in that position. Benayoun is better in the centre forward role IMO.

I'm not saying this because I don't want him to sign for you, however Tevez can't play wide he's completely incapable of doing it and you might as well play someone like Reira there.

Tevez is most comfortable as a SS which is Gerrard's role. I also think he wouldn't join purely because of the rivalry reasons. Would he risk the wrath of United fans moving to Liverpool? Can't see it.

What wrath? United fans booing him when he goes back there? wow. Can't see that stopping him from joining us.

I don't think Rafa will make him first priority though.

It's the principle. I think he is a player who respects those sort of rivalries and would never cross the border as to speak.

You should tr getting someone like Zarate or Afellay IMO

Not so sure about this comment. If he was such a moral player he would have stayed at West Ham where he was the central hero. Instead he jumped what he thought was a sinking ship and not many can blame him but it certainly says something for his loyalties.

Hmmm not really sure about that. No offence to Deano and co but everyone could see he was too good for West Ham so why not moe to the higher level?

Moving from United to Liverpool is much different.

It should be about who is going to give him more of an opportunity. Ferguson has made it clear he rates him as a 3rd choice striker. At Liverpool he will be first choice when Torres is out and if Rafa decides to play him with Torres then he will play every week.

He'll stay at United though. Ferguson would rather see him on the bench for them then starting at Liverpool for sure.

Where did Fergie say he rates him 3rd choice? Your best team surely includes Gerrard behind Torres so where again is that leaving Tevez?

Personally he is better off in a team that will be built round him. Not Liverpool or United for that matter.

We aren't United. We can't spend half our transfer budget on someone for the bench.

Changing the formation would be another step back, another season of building towards where we ought to be. Whoever we bring in has to complement Torres and Gerrard playing where they play now, this is so painfully obvious. It's annoying to see people talking about tevez, villa etc.

Tevez has started 17 league games for Man Utd..and he's going to win his 2nd league title medal and possibly his 2nd CL winners medal. Why would he not like being there?

If Liverpool are to bring a forward in... he has to be able to lead the line like Torres can. Fully able to play the lone striker.

Tevez and Villa would be nice but not needed IMO just like Keane last summer. Can we just sort out the areas out wide and RB for the love of god!

Exactly. It would make more sense if we were being linked to Drogba tbh, if he is going to leave Chelsea.

Priority has to be a wide player. Kuyt, Ngog and Babel can be back up for Torres. If he has injury problems again, we probably won't win the league no matter who Rafa brings in, so it doesn't matter anyway. A wide player would at least definitely improve the first team when Torres is in it.

He's not a guaranteed starter for Argentina I think, so that's one issue. If he has an ego, not being first choice at United should grate as well. But he loves Evra and Park too much to want to leave imo.

Isn't it a bit obvious? I mean you just said it in your first line. He has started in roughly half of United's league games.
