The great debate – Tevez or berbatov ?

I know this post is actually quite a little late,and is rather inconsequential now that Tevez has left Manchester United for good.But is Tevez that good , for his loss to be mourned like that of a national hero?Or is Berbatov of that essence to really knock the winds of confidence out of Tevez’ sails?

Carlos Tevez,signed from West Ham on loan & a complicated deal,is  a Duracell bunny who can smash home goals.Critics were skeptical about the Tevez-Rooney combination since the both of them offered nothin much different to the other.A real dynamite no doubt,with his energy and enthusiasm he won over millions of Red Devil supporters’ hearts with his sterling performances in the 2007/08 season.At the same time,in North London a man named “Dimitar Berbatov” was the celebration of Tottenham with his goals and elegance.The Bulgarian target-man had an eye for goal and commentators absolutely fell in love with his stylish display of football.

Carlitos enjoyed a brilliant first season @ united,winning the EPL and the Champions League.In an attempt to bolster his squad SAF signed Dimitar Berbatov on a club record transfer fee of 30.5 million pounds.A Huge price indeed…Berbatov started off in a real hurry,creating a flurry of assists and occasionaly netting home a few.In the meanwhile,the argentine was benched,and his services were called upon only in Carling cup games and against lesser teams.Tevez lack of oppurtunities contined to frustrate him and Maradonna(yes,the fraud yet legendary Argentine coach)called upon him to quit United.And the rest is history they say….

Why Berbatov over Tevez?

* Berbatov is an ideal target man,which makes rooney play just behind him.Proven affection for goal scoring ,with a few tricks up his sleeve,the bulgarian forward is essentialy your replacement for Ruud van nistelrooy.Definitely loads of Mindless manutd fans(no offence) will go on to say he doesnt run,he is lazy,he is laidback.Answer: If everyone played the same way,then no need to buy no players.Berbatov might be slow on the ball,but is a real handful for defenders.He doesn’t need to run fast to score goals,unlike Tevez who knows only to run in some cases.Some people argue saying Berbatov has been a flop.14 goals and no.2 in the league for no.of assists doesn’t indicate failiure.So does winning the EPl and the carling cup in your debut season.Lazy he might be,but elegent he is.

Carlos Tevez has numerous reasons to understand why he wasn’t chosen.Primarily , berbatov gives united a variation.He is a goal scorer,energizer and all dat no doubt,but 1 goal in every 365 minutes is a poor record by any standards.So is the no goals scored record in the months of January-Febrauary when Rooney was injured.Squandering sitter after sitter ,yet complaining about lack of chances.Very poor indeed.

And secondarily,he is a player on loan.why would I play a player who is on loan ,when I have a better choice bought.I can always use the guy on loan whenever needed.That could have been the mentality too.But all said and done,Tevez can run and defend , take the ball away and might be a fan favourite,but he definitely is not the missing piece in the manutd puzzle.Probably Berbatov was,they say.

Lastly,his poor attitude citing berbatov as a reason for his departure,reflects cheaply on the argentine forward.First henize,next Tevez.Is it a problem with the country’s players or is it a simple case for money.Definitely he is going to get more money,more chances at mancity.Competitive football?European league?Definitely No.A clear degradation in his standards.berbatov elevated himself from Tottenham to united,whereas tevez went back from top to city.Added to this is the fact that Tevez has played the most number of matches among the 3 strikers.Very Very laughable decision indeed.

Definitely manutd has lost a stellar performer,a fan favourite ,a crowd puller,but it is a loss they can cope up with.Macheda and Welbeck are growing quickly in the ranks and Berbatov all set for his second season (&even better performaces),fire power doesn’t seem a problem for United (ofcourse they need a winger tho!).

Dimitar Berbatov and Carlos Tevez?Who's the one
