But Tevez is no more about just goal-scoring than Berbatov, as you've pretty much said. He makes a very decent number of assists, and is forever tracking back, harrying and getting stuck in—as someone said, a rich man's Dirk Kuyt.
But agree about the fee—and according to the Screws and the Times that's £38m.

Ok, so this may be a long shot but has this been considered at all?
Ferguson said that "he was in for a player that would improve the team." We now know that that quote was attributed on assumption to Berbatov. He also said that we would "be embarrassed" when the truth came out.
Is it not at all plausible that Tevez was the player Ferguson was discussing at first?

Hi, first post,
Yes, its plausable, Fergie might well have meant Tevez instead of Bebatov as far as the supposed 'sun' quotes go, even if he didnt its quite a good one to pull out now.
I trust that the dossier that supposedly has over a years worth of evidence will be making someone with a red nose embarrased, and i aint talking about Rudolf. :evil:
COYS!

£38m :lol:
That's just a part of the theater to show the fans that the blame for Berba's departure is not to be placed on Levy's head.
So, Man U give £20m and Levy wants £38. And purely coincidentally, the expected transfer fee lies exactly between those extremes: £29m. :wink:

I don't think they will go up to £29m for him...I can't see them paying a penny over £25m

I don't think anyone would blame Levy where Berbatov is concerned, unless he just caved in and let him go for the first offer United made.

As Tevez has already been playing for united for a season, I don't think making it a permanent deal would 'improve' the team. Fergie was definitely talking about a new arrival to the squad

Manchester United have bid £20m for Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov but are set to end their interest because the asking price could soar to £38m. (Various)
United are willing to pay £25m for Berbatov but a row between Sir Alex Ferguson and Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy could threaten the deal. (Sunday Times)
Tottenham striker Dimitar Berbatov never goes to nightclubs and says he prefers to stay at home and feed squirrels from his balcony. (News of the World)

I read it but I cannot draw the conclusions that you seem to have already drawn. :grin:
Maybe we have to interpret the posted in the folowing lines:
"No problem Mr. Levy if you fuck my dream move to Man U again. I'll give my best for the team because the only thing that matters is the good future of the team. I'm fully committed and I promise I won't play bellow my standards till December as it was last season. I'll never make such a mistake again. Give me please the new contract!"

I wouldn't go quite that far. However, his willingness to put in an effort in a Mickey Mouse friendly does suggest your assertion that he'll sulk and twat about if forced to stay is somewhat wide of the mark.
