Certainly worth it if he continues to get important goals at the death of important matches. However i understand where scott is coming from: tevez is a touch slower than the likes of drogba and torres, and his finishing has much left to be desired (think the two chances in the ECL Final that would have finished the game off in the first half). But tevez is still worth buying albeit at an inflated price because of his passion and his love for united.

Not worth it, IMO. Not saying we shouldn’t have tied him up permanently, but he’s not worth more than £25m. Anyway i still don’t believe he cost us that much cus back in April/ May, Fergie said a deal had been agreed and it was something cheap…

£32m would have been steep a few years ago, but transfers these days are alwats silly. Robbie Keane, although a quality player, just went to a new low, at the cost of around £20m!!!

Tevez may have cost a lot of money, but Rio and Wayne were up there years ago. Money is there to be spent and I am happy that we now have him.

A crazy amount of money and a crazy game football is these days.

Worth his wait in gold, incidently its round about £32,000,000. Those last minute gaspers are worth £1mill alone. He’s only 23, he’s got a great mentality, he’s strong, clinical and can only get better.

Although the fee is incredibly high, I feel that you have to look at his contribution to know that he is worth it to some degree. The games he saved us in last season added more pounds to his valuation in my opinion. I have friends who laughed at me when we signed Carrick in the summer of 2006 for 14.6m basic – 18.6m with add ons. I told them ‘we’ll see’, and as it happens it turned out to be money well spent, cos his signing won us the title in 2007, and his contribution last season enabled us to retain the title and win the European Cup – so on that basis he is definitely value for money. That opinion is applicable to whoever we sign that helps us win the big prizes. I think the most pleasing aspect of the European Cup Final win was seeing all of our 2007 summer signings despatching their penalties with relative ease, especially Hargreaves – 51m well spent.

I agree with the majority of posters on here in saying, Please, get the deal done as quickly as possible and show Carlitos we appreciate the energy and desire he gives for the club. I dont understand some peoples obsession with new signings, there are those over at Red Rants who honestly want to let Carlos go just so they can bring in Huntellar/Benzema/Berba etc. That to me, makes absolutlely no sense. We knows carlos plays well in our league and he works well with his teammates and our style of play. So why on earth take a punt on someone who could be another Dirk Kuyt or maybe David Bellion, or a player who might sulk if things dont go his way and who we know for sure wont put in the same kind of defensive effort that carlos puts in.
