Convinced?

Hopefully, these two will share many a more celebrations for years to come!

Earlier today, Manchester United kept the quintuple dream alive with a 4-0 thrashing of Fulham at Craven Cottage. The man who was instrumental in this clinic was none other than Carlos "Carlitos" Alberto Tevez, who scored not one, but two peaches. He scored the first goal after a corner was flicked on by Wayne Rooney. Tevez was lurking at the back post and cooly nodded the ball past a diving Mark Schwartzer. The second was a thing of sheer beauty. Tevez went on a run down the left side of the field. He turned the ball inside and shook the defender. After making a little more space for himself as he moved inside, he unleashed a twenty yard strike from the top left side of the 18 yard box. The ball curled away from a diving Schwartzer and United were 2-0 up. They would add second half goals from Wayne Rooney and a rare one from Park Ji-Sung.

Hopefuly, this was all the convinving that Sir Alex and the United board needed to get the permanent signing of Tevez underway. With Tevez, it's not always flashy, but he does the little things. We all know how much Cristiano Ronaldo hates tracking back. Well, if you play him with Tevez, then Ronaldo can stay on the other side of the field. He also can score from just about anywhere on the field. The way he runs at defenders constantly has to wear on a defense over 90 minutes, as is the case with Wayne Rooney. One thing I wonder about is why Sir Alex never wants to play his "big four" (Berbatov, Rooney, Tevez, and Ronaldo) together. I think that if you played a 4-1-2-1-2 (or a diamond midfield, if you will) and had anderson or Carrick at the bottom of the diamond, someone on the left (insert Giggs, Nani, Park, etc. here) Ronaldo on the right and Tevez at the top of the diamond, and Rooney and Berba up top, certain defenses would be shaking in their boots (it's what I do in FIFA 09, and just ask a certain contributor to this column and see what he thinks of this). Look, basically what I am trying to say is that Carlos Tevez has not only become a cult hero at Old Trafford, but he has also become an integral part of the United squad. One that we cannot afford to lose.
