Tevez wasn't good enough for Fergie, I doubt he'd give United the time of day again.
If I was a Prem Manager, Tevez would be the first person on the team sheet for every single game. The guy has a great work ethic, he's a fantastic professional, and he does everything well on the field.
Tevez is that rare professional who is a great, skillful player, but he doesnt rely on that alone, he works hard, puts in a ton of effort, and that is a quality that a lot of pro's dont have.

If we end up signing Rooney then I might have to get a Chelsea shirt with Rooney on the back and wear it to the Chick the next time we all hang out.
