Sir Alex Ferguson has expressed a real desire to sign the Argentinian international Tevez to a three year contract.  Tevez is currently on-loan to Manchester United due to a deal between United and West Ham brokered by Tevez’s agent, Kia Jooprabchian.

United’s team manager, Sir Alex and their legal eagles have been in contact with Joorabchian to secure him more permanently as a player as soon as his loan agreement expires.

In something pf a weird contractual agreement it is Joorabchian who owns Tevez and it could see United paying far less than his market value due to this fact.  Ideally it would be Joorabchian that would want a big fat offer for “his” player. Tevez is on loan from West Ham until the end of next year.

Sir Alex is said to be in a hurry and have even mentioned an earlier date than the end of his loan agreement. m What’s up with that?

Ferguson said: “There is no question about his long-term future here. David Gill, (United chief executive) has spoken to his agent and told him we are very happy with him.  The fee is in place. I won’t tell you what it is but it is still cheap. I want to make this happen. He has impressed everyone with his appetite for the game.”

Tevez has scored four times this season as well as in the Champions League.  It is his skill to read play and string together some great passes that has impressed everyone.  He has gelled very well with the rest of the strikers and can play comfortably from the center of the field to either side on the wing.

Having made 17 appearances for United already this season Ferguson says he expects Tevez to become an important player for the current English champions.

Ferguson said: “He’ll get me 15 goals this season and what’s more they will be important goals.”

Tevez has indeed impressed me with his abilities, the only negative comment I have is that he is not very quick, but other than that he is a good all rounder.
