CARLOS TEVEZ, the little bull from Argentina has been all over the news pages for the past few months regarding his transfer. And finally he has reached his destination- MANCHESTER UNITED.
BEGINNING:
It all started way back at the beginning of the last season when he and Javier Mascherano made a shock move to England and it was West Ham got their signatures. Manutd who where supposed to be in the hunt for him didn't get him in spite of TEVEZ saying that he was a "MANUTD" fan. Though the Hammers got two bright talents they where struggling in the league and Tevez was not starting or even playing matches. It was clear that there was some problem with then manager of West ham, ALAN PARDEW. And both the player's and club's positions were worsening as weeks passed by.
West Ham got a new owner Eggert Magnusson and they sacked the coach as the team was languishing at the bottom half of the table and Alan Curbhisley took over as the manager of West Ham and his first match as manager was against MANUTD at upton park and Tevez didn't play that match which West ham won 1-0.
SAVES WESTHAM
And in the January transfer window Liverpool got Mascherano, another troubled player at West Ham. And Tevez finally started playing matches for Westham and scoring goals but they seemed too late as they where destined to get relegated but they pushed all the way till the last weekend against MANUTD at Old Trafford and won that match 1-0, Tevez scoring the lone goal and kept West Ham in the premiership. As the game on the pitch was going on, West ham were found guilty of illegally signing Tevez and they were let off with a fine of 5.5million pounds without any points deduction as they pleaded guilty. And even after the season was over Sheffield United, the team that got relegated filled a case against Westham being let off without points deduction, but they couldn't win the case so West Ham stayed in premiership thanks to late goals from TEVEZ.
FREE TO JOIN UNITED:
As the summer transfer window opened it was obvious Manutd wanted to sign him. But the actual problem was lying in the fact that Tevez was owned by a company MSI which was headed by Kia Joorbachian and also Westham so there were confusions regarding the third party ownership of the player and Westham wanted compensation for letting Tevez free and even FIFA said it would help Tevez join MANUTD. Finally after a long time MSI payed Westham a compensation of 2 million pounds and Tevez was free to join MANUTD.
FINAL DAYS:
Yet there were some delays as FA wanted to examine all the aspects of the transfer and this had meant that Tevez, who had been without match practice after the Copa America had to wait a little longer before joining MANUTD and start playing football with United.Yet he was practicing with the United players and impressed everyone out there.
ARRIVES AT MANCHESTER UNITED:
And Tevez was officially registered as a MANCHESTER UNITED player on 10th August marking an end to one of the longest saga's in football history.
