The future of Carlos Tevez has been debated over the past few months, with no long-term contract for the player being offered as yet. Whilst the club have remained calm, insisting that a deal would be sorted in December, the press keeps linking our Argie with moves abroad.
Today, Tevez has made it quite clear he has every intention of staying at United, claiming his contract will be sorted soon.
“I remain relaxed and so are the club,” said Tevez. “We have been talking about it and everything is very advanced, as a consequence I think it will be sorted soon. I feel respected by my team-mates and by the technical staff.”
Tevez has been made to battle to play regularly throughout his career but remains unfazed by his situation
“I think it’s part of my life,” he declared. “Everywhere I have been I had to fight and it ended up with titles. I think that God tests me, not each year, but each month. And at the end of the day, winning league titles makes me feel great. The only club I didn’t win any title with was West Ham, but people told me, regarding the way we escaped, that it was like winning one. I can’t explain how happy I am when I win a title after a massive fight. I prefer it this way. That’s the story of my life: I have overcome obstacles since I was a kid. And right now I’m not going to change: I’m at the best club in the world and fighting for your position is normal.”

Spoken like a true red……
I love this lil’ fella…
We love you Tevez!!
Says all the right things and plays for the shirt….a few others should take note!!
TEVEZ, WE LOVE YOU, YOU WILL BE A LEGEND, for all you united fans who want Benzema, WAKE UP
Comments like these should give him 5-10 extra minutes in the next game. You just have to love his commitment!
Carlitos has the heart of a lion. United must not let him go. It really is that simple!
mm I have mixed feelings. 30 Million for a bench player is an awful lot.
I love the lad, and I hope he stays, but like Spencer said, its alot of money…
Ahh.. I wish some players learn from him and his commitment.. Tevez is a true red devil
30m? Don’t forget that some of that is being paid anyway as part of this ‘loan’ deal, so this 30m is just an unrealistic number.
I think he is worth every penny! I wouldn’t swap Carlitos for any other striker (well.. maybe Aguero!)
Great lad and superb effort but £30m for a sub is a lot of dollar, he seems to be trying too hard and should try and relax and paly his game.
We should do everything to sign him, and maybe it is time for Gill to try something new and negotiate for a change, instead of paying what these guys want.
He is our chief exec aand he is quibbling over pennys for Tosic, and lumps up big money for Anderson, Nani, Hargreaves, Berba and Carrick. All good players no doubt but it is Gill’s job to negotiate the best deal for United not the other way round.
I really hope it does get sorted1
It will be a gutting if Tevez leaves, I absolutely love the little fella. As for those saying 30 million for a sub, well hes a sub at the minute, I dont think it will stay like that for too long.
I don’t know if 30mil is a lot for Tevez.With the economic crisis,it does seem a lot but in the modern game it’s not easy to find players who play with their heart in their sleeve.For instance,Berba might be more gifted than Tevez,but he doesn’t play with the same passion.That passion was what gave United so many crucial points last season.Both of his last minute equalisers at Tottenham and Blackburn were goals that are driven by desire.For me,if Berba is worth 30 mil so is Tevez.And let’s not jump on this whole “30mil for a sub” mentality.SAF has said that Tevez will play a lot of games this season.At the same time,Ole Solskjaer was mostly a sub,but if you ask any United supporter,they would have gladly given 30mil to keep him.
Gary, can you see Fergie dropping Rooney, Berba or Ronnie for that matter because I can’t.
I am not saying he shouldn’t, but currently it looks very unlikely that he will which obviously makes the little man somewhat resigned to the sidelines.
Personally I would love to see him have a run in the side as goals do seem to be our main problem currently and a freshen up is what is probably needed, but he was taken off on Sat when we drawing in what Fergie described as a “The biggest game of the season” so the omens arn’t good.
30 million for a sub is a lot but I don’t think he is going to be on the bench permanently. Both Rooney and Berbatov might get injured or simply would not be fit for the whole season. After that they’ll be waiting for their chance just like Tevez is now.
Actually only Manucho is losing from this, as I doubt he’s going to get a real opportunity at all. Just imagine it – a talented player gets an offer from the best club in the world, so, naturally, he accepts. A couple of years later he realizes wasted his time for the subs, instead of playing regularly for a weaker team.
For one game over christmas I would love us to revert back to that triade of Ronaldo,Tevez and Rooney the same players who tore chelsea’s defence to pieces in the first half of the champions league final. just for one game see if we play that same brand of incisive counter attacking football.
Its not surprising coming from a guy who have struggled to make it to united,anyone remember when he had to be fined by corinthians for attending there press briefing in a united shirt.id say he took the westham deal as a bridge to us,unlike the slave who has been using us as the same to unreal madrid. 4get the money and tie the lad up.rooney + tev =loyalty.
Only one thing to say like everyone else, he must absolutely stay. Tevez represents everything that United want in a player: genuis, loyalty, strong work ethic.
I just want to see him on the pitch more with Rooney.
ARGENTINA!
Gotta love Tevez top player top bloke, seen him in the Trafford Centre once he’s even smaller than you’d think
Can’t wait to get him signed up
Seeing him subbed last weekend after watching him play in comparison with Berbs was hard to take.
Hes a fighter and a club like ours is made for him.
benezema or tevez? hmm i really wonder! tevez is a legend and true professional, i am tempted to say ole… hes a fighter and whether hes coming on for 10 minutes or starting a game he gives his all for the club and i love seeing that.
Stephen, Fergie isnt going to go ahead with the signing if he does have Tevez in his long term plans.
I would like to see Berbatov dropped and made to fight for his place, rather then being gifted his place in the side and not producing the goods, the way Tevez was dropped was totally unfair, and to be fair to Tevez he hasnt moaned or complained, hes an absolute top professional!
Fergie wont drop Berbatov tho, because he is a stubborn man and he forked out a ridiculous price for him so he has to play him. He quite clearly is struggling to fit into United’s team, unlike Tevez who was absolutely fantastic last season.
Fergie hasnt found a way for Berbatov to fit into our system, not that he would ever admit it, but its quite clear he isnt suited to our style of play.
*Fergie isnt going to go ahead with the signing if he (doesnt) have Tevez in his long term plans.
Some reassuring news on this subject, at last!
To be honest, if I’d've known Berba’s arrival was going to limit Carlito’s appearances this season in the way it has done, I simply wouldn’t have been as positive about the transfer. Like football1st said, seeing him subbed on Saturday was hard to take.
Ar-gen-tina!
A true United legend ,and one of the Most faithful we have at OT .THERE are not many players today who show faithfulness to their club.We must sign a permanent deal for him at all costs. because he is one of our players who is driven by the passion for the club .we need him Because Berba might be more gifted than Tevez but seems to lack the passion driven energy which Tevez has.
Tevez is a legend!
Tevez is the best 3rd striker in the world, and if that is not good enough reason to hold on to him, then these are -
1. He is in the same plane as Rooney and Berbatov, but just lacks Rooney’s creativity and ofcourse, totally different from Berba. More useful than Berba in tough away games in my opinion, because if Berba has an offday he is almost a liability. Whereas, Tevez is never even close to being one
2. With time, I am sure Fergie will devise a system which allows the 4 of them- Ron, Roon, Tevez and Berba to play together. Atleast against, say West Brom away or West Ham at home. Considering Roon and Tevez’s defensive attributes, it surely isn’t impossible
3. Obviously, you cannot have Roon and Berba fit and in-form all the time. Instead of playing Giggsy up front, Tevez is a readymade replacement. Even if he stays down the pecking order and things dont change
4. He has got the heart of a lion, scores important goals and is as good a team man as you can find. I don’t think Roon or Berba, let alone Ron, would take getting dropped successively in their stride. Infact, most of us feel it is unfair so he must be feeling so too. Still he has his loyalties unmoved. Hats off!!!!
Excellent news. It is a very long tough season ahead and everyone will have their part to play in it.The players IMO are well aware of this hence the reason Tevez and the like are more than happy to stay.
He played on the left for WHU, didn’t he?
Why not try that? A Tev-Roon-Berba-Ron front four (albeit with Rooney and Berba slightly further forward), all interchanging, with Carrick and Scholesy behind …
*drools*
Like ive said a million times before.
1. heart of a lion…wants to play and die for utd
2. 19 goals last season
3. lung busting performances…barca chelsea anyone???
4. vital vital crucial winning goals…lyon, roma, rovers, spurs anyone???
5. what he did in the clge final v drogba incident…isnt that enough??
6. utd shirt wearing days in s america
7. how he admires SAF and his best pal left back pat
8. work rate 2nd to none
9. How he ran and celebrated the comm shield win…when others didnt join and told him it was only a charity match. He said ” i play for passion, for utd, to win trophies”
10. The trimvirate..the holy trinity of rooney ron and carlitos that landed us 2 trophies last season
11. such a modest quiet chap
12. how he took that filthy bastards spit from fuckin racist terry.
13. 32 mill paper talk
14. How many decent strikers are out there in world football??
15. If bentley is 17 mill, bent 18 mill, bag of wank keane 20 mill…..carlitos not better and worth more????? i ask you
16. Carrick was overpriced, rio was tooooooo overpriced we all grumbled years ago. Do we remember that now after there service and performances etc? NO
17. Rooney cost approaching nearly 30 mill…people think carlitos cannot do and even do more than rooney
18. Spirit and attitude unrivalled
19. Wants to play and stay with us.
20. SO LETS FUCKIN SIGN HIM ASAP
COMPRENDE

Gotta love this lil’ fella. Top bloke. I fucking love Tevez and Evra’s attitude towards our club. Both of them are really grateful servants. And Suhayl brilliantly put mate, and did Tevez REALLY wear our beloved Red shirt in South America Suhayl??? Waiting for your response…
By the way does it really matter how much they have to pay? Its not like if they pay 2 or 3 million less its going to go in the fans pocket!
yep sully…he did while he was a corinthians player…nice post suhayl…totally agree mate
suhayi you are the man. suly, he actually wore our shirt to his first training session while at corinthians and he was fined for it. tony-starks, i feel you. whatever they pay less for him does not get to teh fans so what is our business? the guy is class and all we shoudl care about is getting in and not what it takes to get. if bent and keane will both cost 38m, i think we are even doing good business to have him for 30 and by the way the 30 is part of the useless and senseless paper talk.
yes sully….as anant and olusanjo have stated at corinthians he did. and thanks guys.
As i said even if we have to pay a little extra. that comes with being the best and biggest club in the world. When you are rich, people agents clubs will always ask for a 5 mill extra icing, trying to get as much as they can. We ve found that with rio, rooney, carrick, berba etc etc. Its what the rboys found when the russian mafia took over, clubs automatically asked a bit more. And this is what the that lot over at wastelands will find when they try to spend there loot. a player worth 15 mill…automatically will be touted for 20 + mill due to the riches of the club after him.
I hope he stays i love his effort. I hope Carlitos talks to Ole about what a “sub”can do for a team. Ole was so pivotal for us for years when andy cole and yorkie would hit everything but the net Ole would come on and save us at the bell. Don’t forget what Henrik did for us a couple of years ago. You need someone who can bring energy and goals in these tight ass games we seem to always be in these days. He also seems to totally have a kick ass attitude about what a privilege it is to be a Red Devil.
Carlos Tevez, he is Man Utds equivalent to Liverpools Dirk Kuyt. His workrate and passion are unquestionable, in comparison to Berbatov, Tevez works much harder, and really plays with his heart on his sleeve. He has quality, no doubt. But, and let’s be honest, he hasn’t done well enough for Utd, his scoring record is decent/ poor. Most games he goes missing completely. 23 appearances in the league, 3 goals? I’m sorry but, not good enough. I really love Tevez, he’s a good lad, but I think for the sake of his own career, he should leave us, go to Madrid or Inter, and be a first teamer. For the money we’d have to pay to keep him, for a sub? it’s not a good deal. Utd now have Berba, Rooney, Macheda, Welbeck, and this kid Llajic coming next season, plus Ronaldo and Giggs can play up there, so we have good options. But I also think possibly one big signing for Utd next season, a striker. Benzema, David Villa, Aguero or Lavezzi maybe.
