Five problems with Liverpool’s reported swoop for Carlos Tevez

If the football news and features on talkSport are to be believed, Liverpool are reportedly ready to stun the football world with an approach for Manchester City striker Carlos Tevez.

Reports were starting to emerge that Tevez had agreed to join Serie A giants Juventus but Liverpool seemingly want the controversial Argentinian striker as a replacement for Luis Suarez should their star striker leave the club this summer.

Manchester City are apparently keen to offload Tevez who has never been afraid in publicly voicing the issues he has with England and living in the country while he works as a professional footballer.

“I don’t even leave my house. When my contract ends I will not return to Manchester ever – not even on holiday,” he told an Argentinian chat show host in the summer of 2011.

Here are five major problems with Liverpool’s planned pursuit of the striker.

His Feelings
The above quote demonstrates Tevez’s feelings towards Manchester, which suggest he may be reluctant to commit to a long term move anywhere else in England.

Of course two years has passed since that point, but Tevez clearly still has big issues with the country and wouldn’t even still be in the Premier League had he managed to secure that move to AC Milan.

The Fans
Liverpool supporters may be very reluctant in accepting this sort of deal from their club.

Liverpool and Manchester are two cities with huge football rivalries and the fact Tevez has played for both Manchester clubs is not something which will sit well with the Liverpool supporters who pay hard earned money to go and watch their team every week.

Tie that in with his feelings about the North West and it doesn’t make for a very good recipe.
