Is Carlos Worth It?

From sky sports review of 2010 football awards.....


Player of the Year - Carlos Tevez

I briefly considered jumping on the latest bandwagon to come crashing into town by plumping for Gareth Bale, but for sheer consistency and importance to his team, Carlos Tevez sticks out like a sore thumb.

He enjoyed a brilliant second half to last season for Manchester City and is currently spearheading the club's push to qualify for the UEFA Champions League, and potentially mount a sustained challenge for the Premier League.

His record in 2010 (up to 7th December) for City reads 39 appearances and 27 goals, including 24 in 32 in the Premier League, and it is a statistic that puts him close to the Primera Liga's leading lights Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
Tevez may often cut a disgruntled figure with his comments about homesickness and his recent touchline row with manager Roberto Mancini, but the Argentine never ceases to give 100 per cent now he is his club's main man.

The former Manchester United forward is revelling in the responsibility of being City captain and leading the line, and has scored vital goals against numerous opponents.

If Tevez can replicate the form he showed in 2010 in the opening months of 2011, then City should certainly be able to celebrate qualification for the Champions League.

I haven't questioned what he brings to the table though have I? I said, I appreciate his footballing skills very much and would prefer him to stay but truth is he is slimy backstabbing rag twat and there's no way around it. The fact that he is probably the best player who has played for us in my lifetime don't change anything. He wants to bring bad things to Club I love and I sure as hell aren't going to lick his nuts for it.

And the fact that he remains the captain is indeed a disgrace and probably the worst thing Mancini has done for us so far.

Hughes was a rag twat. He earned the title for being a long time, dyed in the wool rag, and latterly became a twat for being incompetent

Tevez never was the heartbeat of United, is considered by United fans to be a traitor and greedy bastard. Funnily enough, he is considered by City fans to potentially also be a traitor and greedy bastard. His (or his agent's) nature were not formed by being at United, they were formed out of pure greed a long long time ago.

Therefore Tevez is not a rag twat - he might be a twat for what he did, but it is not his rag tendencies that brought all this about

ok, not a rag twat then but twat regardless. We are finally doing things right and pushing for unprecedented (in my lifetime) things. There was absolutely no need for his show and try and create confusion and inbalance in the team. He treated our Club poorly and therefore in my books is twat of highest order.

I'm not necessarily disagreeing with you but.....

If we had another half dozen twats who put as much effort and had as much talent in as Tevez we would be by far the best team in the world IMHO

We wouldn't finally be doing things right and pushing for unprecedented things without Tevezs contribution, we would be screaming for a new manager, enjoying mid table humiliation and be at least another year behind in the big project.

Yes he caused us pain, but this year and any success we achieve in it will be due to him more than anyone else
