I'd heard of him, because he was South Americans POTY three years on the trot before he moved to West Ham.<br /><br />I'm not disagreeing about his motivations of signing for City, I think you're right. Like I said, I think the reasons he had for leaving United were genuine (and I can't believe the money they offered was too far off what he is getting at City), but he probably should have signed for Chelsea or left England.BackBergtthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01916269531937171514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-50226445208612583312009-07-14T20:51:26.367-04:002009-07-14T20:51:26.367-04:00@Georger.'Bunk'?

BUNK.<br /><br />Geoger said..."If all he ever cared about was money, why did he sign for West Ham in the first place?"<br /><br />When he came to the Spammers no one had ever heard of him outside of Brazil and Argieland. He was 21 and his agent (Joorabchian) owned him and smelled a pile of cash in the EPL. Kia Joorabchian tried to buy West Ham and thought using Tevez and Mascherano as leverage would help. He was also from England and wanted to be involved in football there. He is still an adviser to West Ham today. His cash cows were within sight also!<br /><br />The point of all this is that he should own up to signing for the cash. United and Chelsea were on offer and he say's 'ambition'! It's hilarious. <br /><br /><br /><br />He will play fewer games at Arabia this year than at United last year so you ain't having that as a reason and as for being their best? We will see. I bet he isn;t their top scorer this season and bet he plays no more than 40 games starting less tha he did at United.Bigus Dickushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14887445292362822964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-45912610150387936842009-07-14T20:13:43.735-04:002009-07-14T20:13:43.735-04:00Hulk Hair wanting to go to a place where he can pl...Hulk Hair wanting to go to a place where he can play more makes perfect sense. Thinking that he will get many/any more starts at Man City makes ZERO sense.<br /><br />City has (or will have) a ton of attacking players and they are, as Bigus said, gonna play many, many fewer games this season than United. If Tevez was pissed he didn't get the start in the CL final last year, I wonder how he'll feel when he realizes his team isn't even IN the CL group stage this season.<br /><br />I certainly don't fault him for making a move for more money. I don't even fault Tevez (or any player) for making a decision to get a bigger paycheck and then telling the press the choice was made due to 'ambition' or 'feeling comfortable' at the new club. Players always have those BS reasons when we know it is really the money - but what the hell else are they gonna say?!? The media and the fans will rip the player for being dishonest and saying it wasn't the money, but the furor would be much worse if they came out and admitted they wanted more cash. Kind of a no win for the player. I guess he will have to buy himself a couple of new Ferraris to get over the pain.30fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03211743187633788851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-57057482768010418342009-07-14T17:05:58.140-04:002009-07-14T17:05:58.140-04:00Didn't he and Mascherano end up at West Ham be...Didn't he and Mascherano end up at West Ham because Joorabchian and MSI were trying to buy the club?WhiteSpeedReceiverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15854082988072717474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-15633651894671928322009-07-14T16:52:19.103-04:002009-07-14T16:52:19.103-04:00No one knows why he went to West Ham because it ha...No one knows why he went to West Ham because it has never been explained properly what Kia does and where the money goes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-66824398372482285112009-07-14T16:46:34.670-04:002009-07-14T16:46:34.670-04:00Jesus I cannot believe I'm defending this guy....Jesus I cannot believe I'm defending this guy.BackBergtthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01916269531937171514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-54545346630718835822009-07-14T16:26:40.133-04:002009-07-14T16:26:40.133-04:00*bumped*bumpedBackBergtthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01916269531937171514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-39232712998696523842009-07-14T16:26:27.026-04:002009-07-14T16:26:27.026-04:00And he is the best one.

Did Bojan go from starting more games than any other striker his first season with Barca to getting pumped to third (despite not being injured and despite making massive impact when brought in as a sub)? No. He's a kid still.<br /><br />A better comparison would be when Crouch went from Pool's top choice to getting bumped by Torres. Only difference there being Torres is better than Crouch, and Berbatov is in no way shape or form better than Tevez. <br /><br />If all he ever cared about was money, why did he sign for West Ham in the first place?BackBergtthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01916269531937171514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-36197078611685900922009-07-14T16:16:18.973-04:002009-07-14T16:16:18.973-04:00@Georger.

Geo..."Ho. Lee. Shit." Did they sign too?<br /><br />Georger. No one is saying he was Fergies first choice striker but he started 7 less Prem games than Rooney who IS first choice. All top teams need quality depth. I don't see Hleb or Bojan Krkić at Barca complaining. He played in 47 games for Manchester United last year! Starting 36, regardless of the competition. He moved for the cash.

He clearly was not in Ferguson's first choice team, and if you don't think that had a large part in this decision you're nuts. His first year he started 31 games in the league. Berbatov coming in obviously knocked him down the pecking order. Someone of Tevez' caliber should not be a supersub, he deserves to be starting. Whether someone of his caliber has any business playing for City is a different discussion.<br /><br />Or look at the Champions League where Tevez only started four games and was not in the starting eleven for the final. Or when Sir Alex fields a B Team for the FA Cup Final and Tevez IS in the XI.<br /><br />He got pushed out of Ferguson's first choice team last year because of Berbatov, and I don't blame him one bit for wanting to leave. And it isn't like he was breaking a contract, United may have been able to avoid this in the first place if they ponied up the cash in the first place instead of getting him for free.BackBergtthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01916269531937171514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4234337357347181796.post-55576873424869137542009-07-14T15:31:36.096-04:002009-07-14T15:31:36.096-04:00The best part about going out to dinner with EBJT?...The best part about going out to dinner with EBJT?
