A permanent deal for Carlos Tevez has still not been agreed upon, with United fans everywhere fearing our Argie will get fed up over lack of playing time and delay in being offered a contract.
Real Madrid have been named as a club who would be interested in signing him, however Tevez, for the time being at least, seems entirely focussed on getting a permanent deal with us.
“I am not preoccupied about my future,” said Tevez. “My instincts are to stay with the club and in the next week or so I think there will be more contact with regards to sorting out my contract. That is what we’ve been told. My agent is in touch with United all the time and he tells me that everything is very positive now. So it is up to the club. Some people say that £32million is high but I cannot comment on that. Those are the figures that were agreed at the start. I am not responsible. Other clubs have asked about me but I see my future at United.”
Tevez understands that with the quality of players we have, competition for places is high. However, unlike his compatriot, Gabriel Heinze, Tevez is prepared to stay and fight for his place in the team.
“It has been a complicated season for me, there is no point denying that,” he added. “I have not been able to get as many minutes on the field as I would like because the quality of the forwards at the club is incredible. It is not easy for forwards to get into this team and I have suffered. But that does not make me want to leave. I have no urge to run away.”
What’s the delay Gill? Sort it out!
I read his interview in full and his answers were exemplary. In spite of nothing being finalised re his contract, he expressed nothing but desire to stay at Utd, stating that SAF has told him he IS wanted and that is crucial to him wanting to stay. Top man!
I just wish we would hurry up and get this fuckin contract sorted. He is too good a player to let slip to cunts such as Madrid (which he won’t go) or Inter etc. He was born to play for United as his attitude and performances throughout his short career here so far have suggested. just nail the fuckin contract and get it sorted!
King Eric – do you make your mortgage payments before they are due ? Well, I’m guessing that the UTD money-men aren’t going to dole out money for Carlitos before the due-date.
ARGENTINA!
Fantastic player, great man, funny face when he celebrates goals. We should get him signed up as soon as we can
I think it’s clear that Sir Alex, Carlos himself and us – the supporters, all want Tevez to stay at United and to sign a long term contract.
One thing some of us are forgetting, is that, the undesirable bunch who actually own Tevez’s rights in terms of football, are hardly trustworthy and are in this for themselves only.
A club as big as ours is hardly going to rush negotiations with anyone not to mention these guys.
32 mill may seem like a lot, but thats modern day footy, look at city buying bridge for 21 mill
32 million? for a benchwarmer? rather go 4 mr benzema
And Benzema would rather go for Real Madrid, so forget about it.
spot on scott
I’ve followed this guy since his first match with Boca back in Argentina, he’s amazing. He only needs to get some mory minutes and he’ll be back with Wayne tearing defences apart, we’ve all seen what those two together could do.
First off, Benzema would not accept being a bench warmer, simple as. Madrid is out of the question for him, now too, given the Fascists have signed KJH.
I’d love Carlito to stay, but I’m not confident he’ll be with us past the Summer. He’s making all the right noises and conducts himself in exactly the way a United player should both on and off the pitch (despite all this ‘modern player/mercenary’ bollocks we’re fed by the media) and even though we’ve said we want him to stay (pulling quotes from Gill and SAF), I think MSI will pull the plug as we delay payment. Invariably Madrid and/or a Serie A team will come in for him and give Joorabchian a choice.
The saddest thing about that is that United’s perfect for Carlito and vice versa.
Sign Carlitos.NOW.
Benzema? fuck that he is a mercenary cunt!
Tevez is a classs act, on and off the pitch. His form hasn’t been great as everyone knows of recent but he hasn’t had a consistent run in the team either. I think Fergie has dismissed the possiblilities of playing Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez and Berba together after the Anfield shambles but with hindsight the selection was clearly a bit short-sighted as he himself aknowledged. Against some of the lesser teams who don’t leave their half, there’s a lot to be said for all four playing again with Tevez, Rooney and now Berbatov working back. Tevez and Rooney could keep switching bewteen the left-hand side and up top with berba playing alongside. The myth that Rooney should never pop up on the left is a bit silly because I don’t think he should ever be an out-an-out goalscorer, even still Henry used to play on the left at Arsenal and it didn’t do him any harm. With those four, Fergie could then play Fletcher and Carrick together in midfield and leave the creative work to the four at the top but I think minus Queiroz, Fergie and Phelan have run a bit scared of this possibility after Anfield, no doubt they’ve considered it before quickly dismissing it.
Why are people being so abusive towards Benzema? It makes people sound so snobbish when they abuse players just because they would prefer to play elsewhere, heck we even have one in our own ranks don’t forget and besides he has always spoken very highly of united from what i’ve read.
To me Benzema seems to have his head screwed on, and there’s no denying his loyalty towards Lyon. Jeez, there’s me thinking we respect players for their loyalty!?
Get Carlito’s name on a fucking contract as soon as possible… he is well worth it ‘cos he’s a tryer. Come on SAF get the deal done asap.
Carlitos deserve a permanent contract since he play a part for Man Utd in winning the Champions League.Yes,I agree with pascoe that we shouldn’t be abusive towards Benzema.He’s a good player & have a choice to pick his favorite club.What we should talk about is the future in winning the 18th,19th or more Premier League title to show the world The Great Man Utd.Don’t forget the Champions League
Glory Glory Man Utd!
benzema is great cuz like tevez and rooney he can play wide and I like the changing structure, it stretches and confuses defences.
I aint against either but tevez heart lies in manchester and that is priceless.
he never hear him whinge about the bench.
Total proffesional and worth every cent.
like suhayil and king eric said:
SIGN HIM
Tevez is class. I wouldn’t swop him for Benzema ever.
Sign Tevez now! He accepts competition about places in the starting lineup, just look at him. Even though Berbatov has taken many minutes from him Tevez still wants to join us permanently. That’s what I love about him, his determination. Benzema would just pout and cry for Madrid if he was put on the bench from time to time. We need three world class strikers, Rooney, Berba and Tevez. Perfect in my opinion.
Bud, I couldn’t agree more about the combination of our strikers. Berba for his style, Tevez for his workrate, Rooney because he’s irreplaceable.
