The Apache

I've always been a fan of Carlos Tevez. Tough, instinctive, and with the swagger born, not bred. Now he's gone and fans of Man U are left wondering what went wrong.

Sir Alex Ferguson's doghouse is not a nice place to be, yet Tevez for all his industry and endeavor seems to have had his backside firmly planted there for the better part of two seasons. Hard to read the sometimes inscrutable Scott but I'm speculating that maybe this is a case where they know something we don't. Or maybe the combination of the weirdness of Kia Joorbachian's financial innovations (credit default swaps, anyone?) and the nouveau riche City doomed any prospects of keeping Carlos at a realistic price. Whatever the case, this one stings.

Now if only they can get someone to take the brooding Berbatov off their hands. What's Bulgarian for "sulky striker" anyway?
