Yeah good point Sam. Not to mention, Ronaldo has gone to lengths to say all the right things since leaving, which lessens the sting somewhat, whereas Carlos is obviously bitter and has gone out of his way to do the opposite.

I think United fans COULD have forgiven him to an extent, Justin – we let Denis Law off once upon a time after all – if it weren’t for the Times reporting a week or two before the derby that the deal to take him to City actually cost around £47 million rather than the £25.5 million that everyone seemed to think the price was set at – there were strong suggestions following that that the deal (like C Ronaldo’s) had therefore already been done by the time Tevez started playing the sympathy card and gave that interview to the Telegraph in April laying out how much he loved the fans but couldn’t stay at the club…

Moving because you feel forced is one thing, but saying that’s what you’re doing when it’s not the case is another.

He just doesn’t seem to understand the United / City rivalry, which is odd considering his upbringing in the Boca / River rivalry. He seemed to feel United fans would forgive him for going to City. It doesn’t work that way Carlos!

Yes, I agree. Considering Valencia’s lack of production, the exit of CRonaldo, Berbatov’s up and down performances and the continued lamebrain efforts of Nani, Carlitos might very well have been much better off at Manchester United. I was also dissapointed at his comments recently that he would celebrate any goals he might score vs. ManU.

Seems Carlitos has lost his way a bit on and off the pitch.

I think reality is going to start setting in for Tevez at City. Adebayor is a fixture and with Bellamy scoring, Carlos going to find his chances as limited as they were at United. He seems to have lost a ton of pace in the last two years.

Perroti good enough for the Seleccion? Gave Ramos a very tough time the other night.
