Sir Alex Ferguson insists he does not regret allowing Carlos Tevez to join Manchester United's neighbours and rivals City. Tevez will likely be in the firing line for Manchester City when they host United at Eastlands on Saturday, live on Sky Sports 1 & HD1.
He will be hoping to find the net again having scored against his former club in both legs of the Carling Cup semi-final which United eventually edged.
Despite his tremendous goal scoring record this term, Ferguson says he does not regret allowing the Argentina striker to move on.
The right decision"I have no regrets whatsoever," said the United boss. "There is no bitterness from me. "Players leave here from time to time. Some do well, others don't. We move on."
Tevez has flourished at City since his move in the summer and has notched an impressive 28 goals this campaign.
He struggled to have such an impact in his second season at Old Trafford, where he appeared to have fallen down the pecking order behind Wayne Rooney and Dimitar Berbatov. "Carlos had a good first season with us, I must admit," added Ferguson. "In the second he didn't feature in as many games." He conceded: "I cannot dispute that he is having a great goalscoring season."作者: 节奏与平衡 时间: 2010-4-16 22:05 本帖最后由 节奏与平衡 于 2010-4-16 22:06 编辑
去年的旧闻:弗格森认为特维斯不值2500万英镑
Sir Alex Ferguson tonight said the reason Carlos Tevez was no longer at Old Trafford was that the striker was not worth the £25m fee his adviser, Kia Joorabchian, had been demanding. The split between the Argentina striker and his former manager has been bitter, with Tevez accusing Ferguson and the club of refusing to speak to him about extending his two-year loan, which expired last month.
"We made contact with Carlos," Ferguson retorted. "We sent him texts and spoke to him when he was in Argentina. Our chief executive, David Gill, made an offer to Kia Joorabchian and we spoke to Tevez before we played Inter Milan [in March] and told him we had spoken to Kia but we never heard back.
"In my opinion, I don't think he was worth £25m. He was popular with the supporters. The fans quite rightly have their heroes and I was happy to go along with the deal as long as it was the right one but, quite simply, he is not worth £25m."
That Tevez has gone from the world champions to a side that finished ninth in the Premier League is, say sources at United, proof that money is the main motivating force for those players who have joined Manchester City. However despite an outlay of £200m under the manager, Mark Hughes, Ferguson doubts City will achieve their aim of breaking into the Champions League positions.
"Well, you just name their best team and then ask where it would go and you would have to say that they would struggle to get into the top four. It is understandable they should go for John Terry, given the money they have got. They have made their intentions known, so if I were in City's shoes with all that money, I would have a go at doing that myself. He has the experience and he is captain of England."作者: 里克爾楳 时间: 2010-4-17 08:52
