Carlos Tevez (30 Viewers)
- Thread starter ZoSo
- Start date
Well hopefully he keeps on beasting through the league, it's been too long since we've had a striker at our club actually competing for the Capcannoniere instead of getting about 10 goals per season if they're lucky.
I stand by the fact he was a great purchase because we essentially upgraded Matri for more wages but 2M less in transfer fees. However, he's not the man to lead us in Europe, he'd be fine in a support role with a real European goal machine though.
Let's not pretend he's World Class after a hattrick against Sassuolo who were less of a danger to us than Bonucci ffs
Speaking of that trainwreck, did anybody see how Bonucci turned an innocent situation into a nearly perilous one?

If what he says is true why would Sabella say this back in September:
“It is not right to talk about players that are not here, But I can say that we always have one eye on our players.
“Although the quality of our attackers is already very high, if his level remains this high for Juventus, it will be difficult to keep him in Turin.”

World Cup - Tevez has no World Cup hopes, avoids watching Argentina
Carlos Tevez holds out no hope of being part of Argentina's World Cup squad and prefers not to watch their matches on television, the Juventus striker has said.
The 29-year-old, who has been in fine scoring form with 10 Serie A goals for juve so far this season, has been overlooked since Alejandro Sabella became Argentina coach in August 2011.
"If Sabella hasn't called me up, I'm not going to phone him to find out why he doesn't pick me," Tevez told Argentina's La Red radio station.
"Sabella must not be asked to call me up... Let him work in peace because it's not easy for Sabella not to call me. I know there's a lot of pressure especially from fans."
The former Manchester City, Manchester United and West Ham United striker said he had a good relationship with the Argentina players and national team captain Lionel Messi.
"I have no problems with the group and I get on great with Messi. I don't lose sleep over the World Cup. I don't think I will watch it because it hurts me to see the national team, it's bad for me," he said.
Some media pundits say Tevez, who last played for Argentina in the 2011 Copa America quarter-final defeat by Uruguay, may not fit into Sabella's tactical plans while others argue that he might disrupt the squad's harmony.
Tevez was part of the Argentina teams that reached the quarter-finals of the last two World Cups in Germany in 2006 and South Africa in 2010.
Argentina, winners in 1978 and 1986, are in Group F with Bosnia, Iran and Nigeria at next year's finals in Brazil which kick off on June 12.
