Tevez linked to Arsenal: It might come down to minutes

David Trezeguet is back with Juventus after signing a new contract. He would have been the wrong choice for Arsenal anyhow. Now Carlos Tevez's name is being bandied about. He has already mentioned that he would fit right into Arsenal's technical style. However he says he is also emotionally drawn to Inter because it is an extension of the Argentine team. There are seven Argentinians including four playing Copa America. In fact, Inter is a South American team that includes 4 Brazilians, 2 Uruguayans, and one Colombian.

Tevez might be attracted emotionally to Inter but the fact is that they have a lot of talent up front and were Serie's top scoring team with 80 goals. Ibrahamovic and Hernan Crespo combined for 29 of those goals. Inter manager Roberto Mancini likes to rotate the attack with Ibrahamovic, Crespo, Adriano, Julio Cruz, and Alvaro Recoba. They have recently added David Suazo to the strike corps, so the roster is crowded which means that Tevez might get less minutes then he would like.

With Arsenal, he would be assured of an immediate start because he is the direct replacement for Thierry Henry. Tevez has earned his place in the first eleven because of the way he played at West Ham and single handedly pulled them out of relegation. I would be very glad to see him as a Gunner because Tevez scores a lot of goals in the box which is where Arsenal need a lot of help. So Wenger should go for him if West Ham were to make him available.

we just thank God that you are able to think of this before its too late. this is the right time to get who so ever you want to buy if you waste time club like chelsea Man U can rush for the player. with God help Teves with do almost what henry did in Arsenal. God Help

HIS tevez again what about anelka and babel but the signing may be pafect.

With all respect to Tevez, a half year in fact, with a cellar dweller does not necessarily assure he will have a stellar career with the elite teams.

Let the coaches look at him and prepare strategy and defend against him in games of higher importance.

is summer time...
is time to buy...

Even before the sale on Henry, I've mooted this on almost all the blogs here that any team that signs this guy this season wold be signing the next world icon. Only at 23, he is arguably the most intelligent creator/finisher in the world. If Arsene Wenger does not sign this guy, for any reason (third party sentiments included), then he can f**k off.

I love Arsene but this choice is glaring to all of us. Chelsea and Man U are not in the running for him and this is the time to splash for a change. Afterall, Tevez himself thinks the prospect is good. It's a question of whether Arsenal are still part of the cream of Europe
