No. As good a player he is, and he is a very good one, he isn't what we need right now. On top of that his attitude varies and some people have a tendency to inflate the size of his initial contribution here. I'd rather leave it the way it was and continue to think he's a prat.

if you take someone like Tevez, it shows there really are no morals left in football.

Yep.

For me he's better always has been, but then i have never rated Tevez as highly as some seem to. If Rooney played every game upfront for a Juve team which totally dominates Italian football which isn't the strongest league either by the way. He would have better numbers than Tevez while also being more creative.

Rooney scored 15 this year playing mostly in midfield for a team who were disjointed for large parts of the season.

No thanks

Look how happy he is ffs.
Quite the overreaction to that sign, at the time and even now. It was a response to a Ferguson line and it was a fair tongue-in-cheek rebuttal.

Some of you kiss Ferguson's ass to such an extreme level it's unhealthy.

As for signing him? He's still better than Rooney for a start, so it wouldn't be the worst option.

You make it sound likes they're criminals.

One is a transitioning vampire, and the other is a complete fool. Nothing more, nothing less.

We all make mistakes, as human beings, some worse than others; however, as far as I'm aware both have done nothing more than complete acts of stupidity.

Have you never done anything stupid?

The day the club sign that cock goblin is the day I start investigating how to get a rifle into Old Trafford

He's better than Rooney but I'd still say absolutely not. He's not so good that it's worth trying to forget what's gone before.

I've barely missed a game in the lasy few years but if we signed him I'd genuinely pack the season ticket in.

Vile, horrible cnut who shouldn't be seen anywhere near this club again. He'd be booed on his every touch. Won't happen.

Former player holding up a mock tombstone for our 70 year old manager? Oh, hilarious that. On the contrary to what you've said I'm absolute baffled by anyone who thinks that's alright.

Wov.
Not wanting Tevez in the club cause of the sign and his behaviour after he left us is "kissing Ferguson's ass."

Fantastic.

Some of you have strange opinions to such an extreme level it's unhealthy.

Yes, he's still a fantastic player and was one of my favorite Manchester United players before we got rid of him. :(

He's still one of the best strikers in the game. Proven in Prem and in great form at the moment. Yes of course we should take him if the price is right. People tend to be overly sentimental these days, like some going against the idea of buying Ronaldo back.

He's a right cnut, thick cnut to be absolutely exact, but he's a team player and won't disrupt the team, on the contrary he'll be useful to what we've got in attack. He's a mercenary and doesn't have to like our club legends or become one. If he is a pro and does his job I'm ok with that.

Would it be the racism or the biting that'd swing it for you?
Take your pick either one should rule player out from ever playing for us.

Racially abusing a player is bad enough let alone the fact that he abused one of ours.

Are you really trying to say you would happily overlook their behaviour and have Tevez but especially Suarez at United?

Nope.

That said, I wouldn't sign Tevez. Firstly, on principle. He can feck off with the RIP Fergie poster. Forget the context, no-one disrespects the great man.

Secondly, we need an injection of youth. Even if the offensive quality suffers for a season or even two, having a clear long term option at the striker position to develop is preferable to adding another 30+ year old who might decline sharpish.

Also, he he might be too short as a striker for Van Gaal's 1-4-3-3 and probably wouldn't want to play out wide.
This is interesting. Don't think I've seen someone include a goalie in their formation before!

On topic, no. It's not just the disrespecting but also the age, as per the post quoted (see I didn't actually also quote you for a real reason!).

Tevez to United is not going to happen, but i would love him back at United. He works incredibly hard when he is on the pitch and has an end product. He should have been signed up after the Champions league win, but Fergie and Gill let it drag on. Some of my favorite players had issues with Fergie after they left United, Strachan, Ince, McGrath, Keane and Tevez. Fergie is very clever, he has a little nibble and then stands back and watches thew fallout :devil:

In the last 2 years I haven't seen any problems that he has caused at Juve. When on the pitch he has always been a team player, his row with Fergie was another matter.
To be fair you never specified in the last two years....Disappearing off on a several month golfing holiday/Toddler tantrum whilst his side is struggling in Europe and involved in a title challenge is about as far from being a team player as its possible to be.

Each to their own. I for example found Ronaldo "agreeing" (some ppl even here defend him claiming / interpreting that he didn't necessarily agree with that particular comment) with Blatter's slavery comment despite us only asking him to honour the contract he signed in the first place more offensive than Tevez' sign.
Reason being that Ronaldo is an intelligent guy and knew what he was doing whereas Tevez is Tevez and just held something a fan gave him.

In Ronaldo's case though Fergie himself welcomed Ronaldo back with open arms and his comment has never been mentioned by Fergie, not a single word about it in his book whereas he didn't have any hesitations to mention in detail how Keane, Becks, Ruud, Tevez, Rooney behaved or what they said upon leaving / upon wanting to leave.

We all love SAF but some behave here as if Tevez beat Fergie.

Where the goals come from.

Technically you're right, as long as you mean literally on the pitch... as opposed to a couple of meters off the pitch, in a tracksuit, refusing to come on as a sub.

I mean, seriously. Refusing to come on!!?!?

Funny as it was, I honestly can't think of anything less professional I've ever seen. No way I want the little tosser at OT.

I usually try to keep tribalism and emotion out of my football opinions but absolutely no way, feck him.

Yes.

My love for United, or football for that matter, hasn't diminished over the years, but my emotional attachment to players has been on a steady decline to indifference since I left adolescence.

feck it. People have moved around rivals in Italy, Spain and Germany for years...as long as your team is the one benefitting currently, I'll forgive all manner of presumed disloyalty...people forget how young and dumb most players are. If we held the kind of grudges we do for football in the real world we'd have lost most of our social circle by 35.

No, he can go feck himself. In a big way. With capital letters. And underlined. Aggressively.

Stupidest thread ever. He left on bad terms and would never come back here even if we offered him the same monthly wage that CR7 gets at Madrid
