Generally agree – although let's not forget that City stuck by him and gave him a second chance when it looked as though he were about to throw away his career.

TBH, I think he's been beginning to slip off the pace for a couple of seasons. In 2007-08, it started to show up such questions as his poor pass conversion rate (his was over 20% lower than Hamman's, for instance, on a week-in, week-out basis). And last season he just got worse. I thought he'd really picked up again when Given arrived, but he slipped off the pace again before season's end. TBH, I think he'd benefit from going to another club – it might be just what he needs. I can't see that he'd really want to finish his career on the bench, having been club captain for so long.

I'd like him to stay just because he carried the team for about 4 years. But he is unlikely to be a regular starter and he seems to me to be the type of player that needs to be playing every week to maintain his fitness.

Apart from not making sense, you can see into the future can you?

Hull City agree to sign Sunderlands Daryl Murphy for 1.5m........failed to score in 27 appearances last season.......Just got to love Phil Browns policy of signing strickers who cant score.

Well you claim Hilda "Would've banged in more goals next season" so you can see into the future and you know that Tevez won't score many goals next season?

Well,I can only go on his league tally for last years champions,5, I believe.

So I guess out of the two of us,it would be yourself seeing into the future,if you are implying he will be more prolific.I,am at least dealing with the actual,to borrow a phrase,"FAHCTS" as borne out last season.

The 'fact' is that Tevez scored 34 goals in 99 league and cup starts.

Where did I say he would be more prolific? I havn't mentioned that or argued that point. I was just interested to see how you can claim he won't score many next season.
