Manwell Pablo Posted 5 July 2007 Posted 5 July 2007 That's the title then This wonton spending from Manchester United is slightly confusing, this would make it about 50 million this summer and I had no idea the glazers had this much clout, I thought they were in a bit of sticky in terms of finance.

If they want money, they can quite easily get hold of it... by borrowing it personally or through any of the large companies they own.
Joe. Posted 5 July 2007 Posted 5 July 2007 I didn't expect Tevez to leave so soon to be honest. He's definitely be sorely missed by West Ham...

Gené and Tonic Posted 5 July 2007 Author Posted 5 July 2007 Man Utd close in on striker Tevez West Ham striker Carlos Tevez is set to join Manchester United, according to BBC Radio Five Live Sport. BBC sports editor Mihir Bose understands talks are underway and says Tevez may move on loan or permanently. Tevez, 23, is on international duty with Argentina playing in the Copa America in Venezuela. West Ham have said they want to keep him after he helped them survive in the Premier League last season but doubts have remained over his Hammers future. "I understand talks have been going on for several weeks now," said BBC sports editor Mihir Bose. "Manchester United are certainly very keen on Carlos Tevez but they are very complicated talks because of the nature of the loan arrangement he has at West Ham. "What is going on is whether he goes on a permanent move, which would involve a very high fee. Certainly, Tevez's people would want in the region of what Zinedine Zidane went for when he moved to Real Madrid - about £40m. "Or he could go on the same arrangement his colleague Javier Mascherano went to Liverpool under from West Ham. That was a two-year deal and a sort of extended loan for a much lower fee." Tevez was at the heart of the controversy surrounding his signing and that of fellow Argentine Javier Mascherano by the Upton Park club last summer. West Ham were fined £5.5m for irregularities centering upon who owned the players' contracts. Tevez brushed aside the problems to inspire the Hammers to an end of season run of form which helped them move out of the bottom three and secure their top-flight status. Man Utd coach Ferguson has had a busy summer in the transfer market He had found games hard to come by under former West Ham boss Alan Pardew after his signing but took on a more prominent role after Alan Curbishley took the helm in December 2006. Tevez scored seven goals in his final 10 Premier League games last season, including the winner at Manchester United which guaranteed West Ham's survival. He was expected to delay a decision over his future until after the Copa America finishes on 14 July but United appear to be keen to tie up a deal for the player. Arsenal and Liverpool were also linked with Tevez, who turned down a move to Italian side Inter Milan after failing to meet a deadline they set for him to make a decision about whether to join them. If Tevez did sign, he would join United's other summer recruits in England midfielder Owen Hargreaves, Portugal winger Nani, Brazilian midfielder Anderson and keeper Tomasz Kuszczak
lildave3 Posted 5 July 2007 Posted 5 July 2007 That's the title then As long as he doesn't go to Arsenal, then it's fine by me.
Raise Cattle Posted 5 July 2007 Posted 5 July 2007 Maybe Fergusons getting jealous of Liverpools new signing.
Babylon Posted 5 July 2007 Posted 5 July 2007 Man U will be pretty awesome to watch next year... even more so than they are already!!!
Stuliasz Posted 5 July 2007 Posted 5 July 2007 "Tevez's people would want in the region of what Zinedine Zidane went for when he moved to Real Madrid - about £40m." - likely to be a loan then.
Manwell Pablo Posted 5 July 2007 Posted 5 July 2007 "Tevez's people would want in the region of what Zinedine Zidane went for when he moved to Real Madrid - about £40m." - likely to be a loan then. To be honest I don't think he's worth half of that. 18 max
lildave3 Posted 5 July 2007 Posted 5 July 2007 Carlos Tevez is much over rated. He would be brilliant at United imo though.
The Reverend Posted 5 July 2007 Posted 5 July 2007 Strange signing in my opinion. Very strange. Rooney and Tevez are far too similar if you ask me.
mancunianfox Posted 5 July 2007 Posted 5 July 2007 Very strange.Rooney and Tevez are far too similar if you ask me. I was just thinking that. I don't think they would be a good partnership. Personally I'd like to see Tevez/Da Silva or Tevez/Van Persie
Master Fox Posted 5 July 2007 Posted 5 July 2007 What a great signing he would be for Utd. Tevez would be perfect for them, he’s brilliant. Add him into the mix of the squad they already have….danger! United 10 – 0 Derby !

If any club can spend that amount United can! They seem to spend £20m a season on one or two big signings but they must have made quite a bit more money last year with increased gate revenue and of course like most clubs in the Premiership this season, have that bumper pay out the lucky sods. This season has already seen obsene amounts of money spent by clubs and the likes of perrenial sellers Fulham look like bidding silly money to get all sorts of players. We dont care we have Hossein Kaebi BTW I reckon Man Utd need a target man not another little striker!
Simi Posted 5 July 2007 Posted 5 July 2007 As long as he doesn't go to Arsenal, then it's fine by me. You're back Great signing for United if it does happen. . I'm sure Fergie is the man to help him mature even more.
potter3 Posted 5 July 2007 Posted 5 July 2007 To be honest I don't think he's worth half of that. 18 max I'd probably say less.
Gené and Tonic Posted 6 July 2007 Author Posted 6 July 2007 Really? It's not on the bbc or sky sports. I'm not weatching SSN so I guess it's breaking news on there?
