Tevez to Liverpool in the summer should be interesting.
That would be amazing but I dont see it happening.
Dont know about you Rafa B but I think it would be madness to sell Agger and Alonso. I still expect the Barry/Alonso in and out to be hot on the agenda once the season is over.
It is common knowledge that Benitez and Agger dont get on but it would awful to think that "getting on with Rafa" is one of tke key criteria for being part of the squad. I cant see a footballing reason to let him go with Sami leaving and Carra getting on in years.
Surely after the season Alonso has had Rafa will think twice. I think Barry is a fine player by the way but would be trying to sign him without losing Alonso. One of Liverpool's biggest problems it that anytime Alonso/Mascherano isn't playing then in comes Lucas who isn't up to it. I've a feeling United will eventually cave in the Tevez affair. I can see him scoring another few vital goals before the seasons out and that might just seal the deal, not that he hasn't scored enough already.
But a lot of it is about playing time. Maradona has told Tevez he must be playing regularly or he wont be getting into the Argentine squad. They have a lot of talent that is playing regularly (Lavezzi, Agüero, Messi, German Denis, Zarate, Bergessio, Cavenaghi, Diego Milito) and all of these players are playing more frequently than him. If he went to somewhere like Roma, HSV, Atletio he wouldn't be dropping down that much in terms of quality and he would be certain of a place in the squad.
I think he'll go, to be honest Ferguson / Man Utd have treated him very badly. He wanted to sign a contract but it was always rebuffed and you get the feeling he'll just say "Sod this" and sign for someone else. I think he's their best striker at the moment and if they get rid of him they could be in trouble.
He's actually a very underrated striker, a bit of a target man, who was playing well with Lavezzi for Napoli earlier this season but since Donadoni took over he prefers the Uruguayan Zalayeta.
I think Hamburg or Roma would be a massive step down to be honest. If he leaves England surely it'll be Spain.
Everyone saying Nani is crap should remember that he has won a champions league medal, just like Djimi Traore![]()

When is Ferguson going to realise that Berbatov is not worthy to be at a club of Man Utd's stature. He is a complete waste of space on the pitch, he slows the game down big time and takes way too much out of the ball way too often. He often gets caught dwelling on the ball, he annoys the sh1t out of me anyway. I don't know how he was left on at the JJB tonight for 88 minutes because he was an utter embarrassment and a disgrace
I serious don't understand some people? Berbatov is leading a the assists charts in the premier league with 10 assists and has 9 goals. I don't think that is a bad contribution.
Fair enough he won't set the world alight like Torres but Berbatov is not Torres.
I think he is amazing to watch and could have assisted another 2 but for a very poor finish by Rooney and Ronaldo.
Just because he doesn't hare around the place at 100mph doesn't make him a bad player.
He may not be everyones cup of tea but he is exceptionally talented.

I would agree with that for the most part alright. I used really enjoy watching him when he was at Spurs because the bad stuff didn't really matter to me. At United though I find him very frustrating but you're right, he's effective enough at times and he has great quality.
