Carlos Tevez is still whining about the fact that he hasn’t been offered a long term deal by Manchester United. Although I don’t really understand it, as Tevez’s loan deal goes through the end of this season, so why as a business, would Manchester United want to put down a whopping £32million before they have to. Although considering this season, I really don’t think that Tevez should be made a permanent signing at United.

Because Sir Alex seems to like playing Dimitar Berbatov as one half of a 4-4-2 strike partnership in ever game, and Tevez can’t play well with Berbatov. In fact, Tevez is horrible with Berbatov, whereas the Bulgarian seems to make everyone else on the pitch better, with his brilliant passing, Tevez remains fairly useless as a strike partner. Often times having to be substituted around the 60^th minute, when Rooney takes back his rightful place up front, and almost always either gets United a goal or becomes the driving force in a score almost immediately after taking the pitch.

Tevez is useless to United at this point, so to his threat of leaving for Real Madrid, go ahead and go because Sir Alex and Manchester United really don’t need you anymore.

And for today’s rundown of important transfer news, Ryan Giggs might retire at the end of this season, Jermaine Defoe is going to Tottenham officially after Pompey accepted the Spurs bid for the England striker. Andrei Arshavin is so desperate to get to England that he may buy out his own contract so he can finally break free of Zenit St Petersburg. Carlos Tevez’s will to leave United if not offered a new deal has led Manchester City to join Real Madrid as interested parties. And Scolari will not have any money to spend in the transfer window, making me wonder if the Russian billionaire owner’s money well for football has gone dry.
