Bye Bye Tevez?
10 May 09 by Bill
Not for the first time in recent weeks, Carlos Tevez has been talking to the media about his future. This time though, the riddles are gone and the Argentine International is cutting straight to the chase.
“I think I will be at another club next season” he said.
Most (if not all) United fans will read this and again ask themselves what an earth is going on? Why are we not signing this player up? If we can spend £30 odd million on Berbatov surely we can do the same for Tevez?
But as I read Tevez’s comments, my mind wanders back to last summer during the Cristiano Ronaldo/Real Madrid saga. Whilst Ronaldo was trying to manoeuvre himself a move to Spain, Fergie and the rest of the United boys were singing from the same song sheet: Ronaldo must stay.
What did Tevez say? “Let him go.”
In his most recent media interview, Tevez talks about family and not feeling part of the Manchester United family:
“I have not been treated as a member of the family. I do not feel wanted. I feel bad over my situation, I do, but it’s very, very difficult to stay any longer.
“The fans treat me like family but United have not signed me so they do not respect me as a footballer.”
“Things have changed dramatically this season. I was dropped – yet I didn’t perform badly. Sir Alex never gave me an explanation but I never asked him for one because it is not in my character.”
Whilst I respect Tevez’s attitude on the pitch, there is something not right about his conduct off it. If Tevez really wants to be part of the Manchester United family, he should bloody well act like it.
Firstly, that means understanding the pecking order and your place in it. You stick with the unit and show solidarity. When Fergie speaks publicly, even if you don’t agree, you keep it buttoned.
If you do have a problem, you go to him. You sort it out amongst yourselves. You don’t go to the media. But that’s not how Tevez rolls….
Publicly, Ferguson has stated his desire to keep Tevez at United; so have the other players; so have the board. Sounds to me like he’s been welcomed with open arms. Or am I missing the point?

carlos should leave we don’t need him any more in fact we have Federico Macheda and Danny Welbeck who can come into the team and do a good job.Fergie stop baby sitting him it will make him think that he is bigger than the club the doors are wide open for him if he wants to leave but we can assure him he will never find success away from old trafford .His price tag is too expensive it can get the club about six young player better than him infact.
