		<description>Thanks Misterq: 

Great sites and very helpful info to use in arguments. (Course most of us don&#039;t let mere facts get in the way of our opinions!)
Just 7 from 12. We&#039;re closing in on three in a row. (Would love to see what a three year table of the top four would look like!!)</description>

		<description>I know this is an old post, but I just went through the majority of the comments, and I must say, I&#039;m with Keanosmagichat on this one....

Just my opinion</description>

		<description>if tevez goes..fine.if he stays...fine.AIG - Alex is God. Fergie knows best and that even though tevez provides that extra energy and drive in attack, he is pretty woeful in attack.hence,he&#039;s just a squad player at the moment.i agree with keanesmagichat...even though Berba has so much more talent and class than tevez,he hasnt really done much this season and has been totally disappointing.i for one dont give a damn about &quot;flicks&quot;,&quot;hold up play&quot; and &quot;first touch&quot;.we didnt buy him for that.his job is to score goals.in my fantasy world,i would get David Villa.now thats a world class striker.the guy is deadly in front of goal,he&#039;s skilful,his off the ball movement is very good.i think he would make a perfect partner for rooney because both players are very fluid. SAF realizes that tevez can only be a squad player and he knows that Berba is one as well...he&#039;s just giving him time to prove him wrong.</description>

		<description>Keansmajichat; and Dave Mack,
statistics are often posted all over the internet. 
I&#039;m including 2 links
http://www.premierleague.com/page/ActimIndex
and
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/leagues/premierleague/manutd/4942851/Manchester-United-Football-Club-Statistics.html

Both are very reliable, in fact the Actim Index is the official one, The Premier League uses

Please, note Berbatov&#039;s stats and compare to any other player in the league.
Berba is ranked #5
You can see Tevez&#039;s too as well as Ronaldo&#039;s..... Rooney was absent for weeks due to his injury and that explains, why he&#039;s #22
Hope this opens you eyes for the genius Berbatov is</description>

		<description>just some comments that i wish to share from fb365 site.... comon man you gotta agreee with em all

Great Minds...
Hi there,

I&#039;m neither a Man U fan or a Liverpool fan so I&#039;ve no favourites here but I&#039;ve been wondering lately why Dirk Kuyt, who doesn&#039;t often score but runs his heart out for the team, presses defenders, puts himself about a bit and generally makes a nuisance of himself and cost 10 million is generally regarded as a Labrador but Carlos Tevez, who doesn&#039;t often score but runs his heart out for the team, presses defenders puts himself about a bit and generally makes a nuisance of himself and will cost you around 30 million is regarded as a great professional who puts in the hard yards and is a great team player. 

Just trying to think of why Kuyt gets the piss ripped out of him but Tevez doesn&#039;t? If anything Kuyt deserves the plaudits as he&#039;s about 20 million quid cheaper...
Alistair


...Hello,

Am I the only one who just doesnt &quot;get&quot; the love-in about Tevez. 

If he played for Liverpool they would call him Dirk Kuyt.

That is all,
Chris (London)


Fergie Has Seen What The Mailbox Has Seen
To all the people who mailed in yesterday asking why no-one saw the similarity between Kuyt and Tevez, I think its safe to say that Fergie has seen it. This would explain his reluctance to splash £30 million on a player who tries his best, but just lacks the necessary quality. Sure, the OT crowd love him, but football crowds can be a bit sentimental and blind to common sense (e.g. Newcastle). 

Is Tevez really in the same league as Rooney or Torres? Is he really worth more than two-and-a-bit Arshavins? Course not! Fergie&#039;s no mug (well, not often anyway) and having seen Tevez first-hand for two seasons, it seems he&#039;s decided that the lad isn&#039;t worth the money.

If we could keep him for £10 million or so, then he&#039;d be a useful squad member, but with Macheda, Welbeck and Campbell all looking for a chance, and the possibility of Benzema being available, I can&#039;t say I&#039;m exactly unhappy with what looks to be happening.

Every United fan would wish Tevez well for the future, wherever he goes (unless its Liverpool of course ), but most of the sensible ones who let head rule heart would agree that he&#039;s not worth the asking price, much as we love his Duracell psycho-bunny approach to the game.

		<description>Keansmajichat;  I don&#039;t know which site gathers player stats like passes completed etc. If I find out I&#039;ll make a post.

Anybody else know?

I agree (again!) that if Berba&#039;s the real deal (which I think he is) he needs to show it over the next 7/8 games. 

I think we all agree that there couldn&#039;t be two more different strikers than him and Tevez. If he wants to stay and we can get him at the right price that would be great as it gives Fergie options. If not ......

Misterq makes a good point though about Macheda and his ability / enthusiasim. In the end of the day it may be the presence of our kids rather than Berba that forces out Tevez.</description>

		<description>Guys, guys..I think the problem is not the money, but the fact, that Tevez, wouldn&#039;t accept Sir Alex&#039;s &quot;rotating the team&quot;, principle. I am sorry, but if Tevez thinks he&#039;s irreplaceable or he&#039;s the right and only answer to every situation, he needs to go! 
Don&#039;t you think that the Macheda boy is just as enthusiastic and by the way,even more skillful than Tevez. I&#039;d say, I&#039;m tired of all this, get the hell out of here!</description>
