my opinion

As for Tevez the positives of keeping him around started diminishing once he started going on ad nauseam about how he’s been treated, I grant him the benefit of the doubt because none of us know how he’s actually being treated. I doubt he’s been treated poorly as an individual though, I suspect he’s going on about his lack of playing time. Now it would be unfair not to sympathize with his desire to play, and he’s one who plays for his national team so even more reason to want to feature in every club match. This is why I think his staying is not going to work; he will want to play in as many matches possible but I doubt he’s going to start over Berbatov on a consistent basis. I still don’t think Berbatov’s settled in completely so that will likely mean less time for Tevez, and whether 25 million for a player to sit around being a tactical option doesn’t seem feasible. At this point I’d rather stick with Rooney and Berbatov and start grooming Welbeck and Macheda then deal with the drama of Tevez and whether he stays or goes.
