After learning that City had put in a bid for Berbatov on transfer deadline day, I started wondering how the fuck we’d got ourselves in this mess. I had wanted us to sign Berbatov, I wasn’t desperate for it, but upon hearing that City could pinch him from under us, my feelings changed. There’s no way we could have faced those bitters landing our number one transfer target.
In hindsight, it was an immensely exciting day, but at the time, it was painful. Whilst still full of hope, there was this worry in the back of my mind that we were going to end up looking like mugs. Here we were, holding back from bidding the big money, thinking Tottenham Hotspur would have to back down in the end and sell the player for the price we wanted to pay, with Ferguson picking Berbatov up from the airport and Daniel Levy claiming he didn’t have permission to speak to the player. It was horrendous.
I thought this would have been a lesson we learnt from, but apparently, we haven’t.
Why the fuck haven’t we signed up Tevez? The club claim everything is on schedule, that they always claimed it would be settled by Christmas, but why are we playing that game? What is happening that means we have to wait until December to wrap it up?
There’s certainly no doubt that we want to keep him with the club. He’s a brilliant player who is more than happy to work hard for the team. He wants to sign for us, we want to sign him, so what’s stopping us?
Reports have emerged highlighting Tevez as a transfer target for Real Madrid, which surely will be a tempting offer for the player, particularly if he continues to be play second fiddle following the signing of Berbatov.
I just can’t understand why the club keep playing this game. Gill, sort it!

messed up your article a bit; ‘why havent we signed up berbatov’
perhaps it should be ‘why havent we signed up tevez’
Its not that simple.
MLS are very hard to deal with. On top of that, a fee probably still needs to be agreed etc. That is assuming Fergie still wants to sign Tevez because you never know, he may just want to absolutely make sure before he gets the ball rolling
i think gill has said it will be sorted by the new year or march the latest so seeing as we have had a roller coaster ride in some of his dealings we usually get our man so i’ll trust him!
as mark said i think MLS the people who own tevez’ reg has complicated matters somewhat, when we got tevez on loan the FA were willing to turn a blind eye so west ham wouldnt get ducked points. now if united pay what ever the fee is directly to MLS and fifa get wind of this then it can only spell bad news for united, lets face it fifa hate us for not selling ronaldo to “their” club and the fa will try to cover their own asses by saying united held information back – just so they will seem like the innocent party in all this.
C’mon – it’s already “sorted”. Fergy has said so three times. What hasn’t been finalized is the payments – and who would pay for an item before the due date ? What you guys have to realize is that this is part of a big business – not a mom-and-pop shop. So, relax and let’s hope that Carlitos starts to do the macarena soon.
This is typical Marca bullshit. They see that Tevez is ‘unhappy’ from reports in The Sun, and decide they are going to try and piss us off and put ideas in carlos’s head. It’s not rocket science.
Why worry, Fergie has twice and Gill once confirmed it that Tevez will be signed, Fergie already said a fee in the region of £20m has been agreed, so in what way are we slow? Why should we hurry to sign him now? Don’t tell me you actually believe the cr@p from Marca
Rather than have the apparant hassle , complete and do not let the bollox that is RM/marca have the advantage.
Where’s the SOlid proof that Real are after him? I think we should know better than to believe the shite that comes from The Sun and MEN
We need to sign Tevez as soon as possible.
