donaldstott 0 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Argentine striker Carlos Tevez admits that he holds suitors Chelsea in high esteem. The hit-man currently plays for Corinthians in Brazil whom he joined some 18 months ago from Boca Juniors in his homeland. He has proved a real success in Brazil having notched 21 goals in just 32 appearances and is now widely regarded as amongst the very best strikers in South America. Corinthians have insisted they have no intention of selling the 22-year-old regardless of the money on offer and will rebuff any approaches for Tevez. Chelsea have confirmed their interest in the player but claim it is unlikely they will move for him this summer, preferring at this stage to keep a watching brief. Tevez is aware of interest from the Premiership champions and admits he has a lot of affection for the Londoners. "Chelsea have the intention to take me," he told Fox Sports. "It's very difficult to distance yourself from them, they have shown a lot of kindness both to me and my family." They literally have no regard for the tapping up rules...

Kid Dynamite 7182 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 A summer spree of Ballack, Tevez, Schevchenko and Carlos isnt bad like. I always wondered why, with unlimited funds, mourinho persevered with average strikers when the rest of his team was so world class. Looks like hes sorting it now though. I reckon Tevez would be class in England, Argentine football is pretty fast paced and physical like in england. Just a shame most argentine players to come here usually do so via italy or spain so they end up being shit and soft, ala veron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They tried to sign the likes of Shevchenko and Adriano before. But it needed two titles for Chelsea to really become a suitable option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7182 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 your all cunts. Il revise my statement. Argentine football is played in a similar style to english football. Tevez will be a hit at chelsea. And i would call crespo and drogba average, they didnt get near the likes of keane, bent in the scoring charts and neither were in the top 10. Not good for the champions. I doubt you would find any other club who were champions in europe without one of their strikers in the top 10 goal scoring charts.

Tooj 17 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 I honestly don't see Tevez fitting into Jose's 4-5-1... unless for same daft reason he shunts him out on the wing And anyone see Drogbar with the most assists in the Prem last season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the current moves financially in football, there is a lot of soiled rusky money being used. Another mate of Roman's bought an Israeli club. The mad man at the jambos.
