You said he fell in the pecking order because of Quagliarella, his
arrival had nothing to do with it.

No it means he can't be the new Maradona.

Hah. It's more that I have been a big fan of Tevez since that Olympics
so it is difficult to forget. I, for one, was elated when he moved to
EPL so I could see him play more often and over the moon when he moved
to United. Unfortunately it didn't last, but he is the only City
player I actively wish does well.

You don't agree that it added to his fall down the pecking order?

Agree, but who said he's the next Maradona?

No. Quagliarella was signed to replace the flop Denis with the idea
being Lavezzi played off him.
