Carlos Tevez has been awesome in the two legs against Dortmund. Remember that time he was seen as surplus to requirements at United? He'd stoll into our team at the moment!

Was that really the case though? didn't his time at city show why we were reluctant to pay to sort of money needed?
He is doing very well now though.

We paid 30m for a lazy show pony like Berbatov instead and played him ahead of Tevez despite the fact Tevez would have given far more to the team

Couldn't agree more bilko

Berbatov was such a wonderful footballer. Shame that Sir Alex could not get the best out of him. Guys like Berbatov and Ozil are far better than many give them credit for.

Agreed and it was one of a few strange decisions later in SAF's tenure. I recall having a few arguments on here about Berbatov. The front three of Rooney Ronaldo and Tevez were excellent in 2008, folly to have let Tevez go at the time.

Tevez had his chance and didn't exactly excel If memory serves he scored 12 goals and missed a host of sitters while doing so. Players suit different clubs ie Torres Forlan Soldado etc etc it doesn't mean anything if he's performing better elsewhere just look at Lewandowski now for example knows the league well but new club new tactics etc for some reason its not working for him like it did before.
{Ed002's Note - Tevez will be gone this summer - and probably gone for good from Europe.}

Berba did finish as Goal king one season for us.

I must say Berbatov did things with the ball I have never seen anyone else do. He was beautiful to watch but God was he infuriating at times!
19 Mar 2015 12:54:26
Bervatov would of been class if he had a bot more speed and willingis to move
19 Mar 2015 16:38:19
mbd - didn't he finish joint top goal scorer that season? with teves both got 20
20 Mar 2015 09:34:02
Yes he did
