Tevez's agent said that he is pretty close to signing for an EPL team so he is out of the question.
And I don't know if just him will be enough, my mind will be more at ease if we got someone else like Sobis, or some other forward that is good, he doesn't have to be as good as Sheva but someone to rotate with Oliveira, because if one gets hurt we'll either play with Pippo and Gila or have to rely on Amoroso to be our seconf rorward which scares me.
I think we should still get Sobis and ship off Amoroso and Boriello to some mid table teams
Yeah heres a recent article from planetfootball suggesting Tevez is going to the EPL
I would have liked to see Sobis come as well.
Agent: Tevez set for England
By Graeme Bailey - Created on 25 Aug 2006
Carlos Tevez's agent has claimed that his charge is nearing a move to England.
Chelsea have been leading the chase in recent months, but Manchester United and Arsenal are also both known to be keen.
Tevez fell out with his Brazilian club Corinthians at the weekend when he walked out following their game with Botafogo - claiming he would not play for them again.
Corinthians coach Emerson Leao has not been shy in condemning the Argentine striker - who looks as if he could be on his way to Europe.
Adrian Rucco, Tevez's agent, admitted a move to The Premiership was on the cards.
"Tevez is very close to moving to an English club," said Rucco.
A host of clubs from Europe are interested in Tevez, with Milan and Bayern Munich also linked.
But Corinthians director Humberto Grondona confirmed that they were under the impression Rucco was setting up a move to England.
"I am convinced that Carlos will go away to some European league," Grondona told La Nacion.
"His representative, Adrian Rucco, was in Rome three days ago and now he has gone to England to look for a club for him."
Reports in France have already stated that Rennes have made contact with Chelsea about the possibility of taking Tevez on loan, should The Blues sign him and decide to let him leave immediately.
