Only Carlitos Tevez can answer that. The ONLY logical motive behind that is $$$$. How does one expect to play first team football when there are 6 strikers vying for the same spot? (Craig Bellamy, Roque Santa Cruz, Benjani, Robinho and Adebayor) He could have easily signed for Chelsea but then, he would have to fight very hard to fend off Anelka, Kalou and Drogba which is hypocritical really and moreover, City have obviously offered a better pay packet.
"Manutd did not do enough to keep me" It is not only disappointing but annoying. Football has become a game of monopoly. You have a player signing for a club and saying he would do his best to win everything possible and the next day he's saying the same at a rival club. You cannot expect managers to coax and cajole players into staying with the club and with a squad as big as ManUtd, first team football is not your birthright. Yes, Tevez is a lion and plays with his heart on his sleeve but at the end of the day it is the manager's call. It is agreed and assumed the manager knows best. You cannot sulk and leave just because you were benching a few games.
I was convinced when Tevez signed for United he would stay on to become a legend. Boy was I wrong! Who does he go and sign for? Manchester City! He was controlled by Kia and Maradona is his go between. He scored 5 goals in the league last season, he made 52 appearances for United last year (how he says he didn't play enough is laughable) and Kia wanted a total of 34million for him. Righty o! You will miss the Champions League music though Carlos. You have definitely let your fans down by letting your bloated ego come in the way.
Another example is Kaka. When he declined City's offer, everyone (including yours truly) praised him for saving football and calling him the Messiah and yada yada. He said his heart was always with Milan and would never leave for money. Well done Kaka. It has been two years since Madrid won anything and I'm hoping it will be longer.
Meanwhile, arguably Madrid's most famous No 9, Alfredo Di Stefano is in no doubt who is the best player in the world – and it's not the winker.
Ronaldo may be the current FIFA World Player of the Year and Ballon d'Or holder, but Di Stefano believes he has been surpassed by his compatriot Lionel Messi.
'Those who argue don't know anything about football, and I am a lover of football,' he said.
Kudos to that! What a nice welcome from the Madrid honorary president.
Oh and P.S. I officially don't like Madrid anymore!
