How Can Carlos Tevez Stay with Manchester United Now?

Carlos Tevez is clearly relegated to fourth choice at Manchester United. Is it really worth spending £30 million to make his move permanent?

After starting just one of the last six Premier League games he is clearly fourth in the striking pecking order behind Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Dimitar Berbatov.

The deal to turn his loan into a £30 million permanent move was supposed to have been completed by now, but so far all we have heard is excuse after excuse from Fergie about how the cash is available, but the deal will be done in December, January, February, etc.

If they reach the deal in the summer and said, "No thanks," it would not be a big surprise to any of us, really. While his penalty finally ended QPR’s resistance in the recent Carling Cup game, his all-round play hardly suggested he was grasping this opportunity with both hands. His finishing was awful, which is why United needed a late penalty to sink the Championship outfit and make it to the Carling Cup quarterfinals.

Right now Alex Ferguson has been linked with bids for Karim Benzema. He has also mentioned the possibility of recalling Frazier Campbell from Spurs in the January transfer window and we have Danny Welbeck impressing everyone, too.

Add to this the talk of the buy back clause for Guiseppe Rossi from Villarreal and to me it seems Fergie isn't placing much emphasis on a United future for Tevez.

Alex Ferguson has spent big, big money to get his team back to the top—£29 million on Wayne Rooney, £30 million on Dimitar Berbatov, £19 million on Anderson, £29 million on Rio Ferdinand, and the list goes on.

With all these expensive signings some might argue, "What is one more?" But with the credit crunch biting, even Chelsea and Manchester United will need to make cutbacks.

Can they really justify spending £30 million on a fourth choice striker? That puts them in the league of Chelsea in terms of profligacy—so will the fans appreciate the success as much when it has clearly been bought?
