I am absolutely gutted that the worse kept secret in the Premier League has finally come true. City's signing of Carlos Tevez will not endear him to the United fans and for all his efforts, I am truly disappointed that his talent is not matched by his integrity.
I can already hear the City taunts... and this season they may even exceed expectations given their spending spree, but the ball is round and class can't be bought.
Both in play and life, Tevez has shown that greed can be put to good and bad. As a goal poacher, it is the difference between a glorious goal and a missed half chance. Commercially, this translates to a single minded pursuit of fame and money.
Sadly, this is the norm rather than the exception for most modern day footballers. No point mentioning Cristiano Ronaldo as he had his mind set on the Bernabeau but Kaka's capitulation to Real Madrid was the extinguishing of the last bright light for the soul of the game.
Perhaps at this point, the Ronaldos and Kakas of the game will get no sympathy from FIFA the next time they claim slavery...
