Arsenal are a good footballing club but sometimes I feel for them. They sometimes get linked to players which they sometime don't sign up but those players when playing for some other club turn out to be really great. They turn to be better than expected.

Same can be said about Carlos Tevez. The young Argentine, is a tremendously gifted player. He showed and displayed his skills at Manchester United. He turned out to be a real breath-taker and a real player of great class. Let's stop it here for a while and move to another part.

Carlos Tevez was bought from abroad by West Ham. It was a time when they were struggling, struggling really hard to strive to stay in the premier league. They needed some kind of inspiration that they lacked. Players needed goals in game which they were unable to do so. Just then it happened, Carlos Tevez got in the club and the things turned for the club. The man scored goals which they needed the most. His strike against Manchester United during the ending stage of the premier league saw him achieve new heights and a new stage in the footballing arena. It even marked his great arrival to the premier league and signaled out his intentions. It was also due to his 7 goals during the last 10 games of the season that saw West Ham stay in the premier league.

Now getting back to the Manchester part. Carlos Tevez quickly marked his arrival at Manchester United and saw him scoring goals from the start of the premier league. He even set up great goals and quickly established himself as one of the fans favorite and one of the most dangerous striker of England footballing arena.

What if Arsenal had bought him, he might have made the same impact but Mr. Wenger showed his trust in his young Gunners and they showed off his trust but arsenal lacked the footballing touch from the striking area. Had it been Henry than it might have made a difference but as he was gone, Adebayor alone was able to do a lot of damage to the opposition but he needed a real trusting partner that he didn't find in most of the other strikers. Henry's place could well have been filled by Tevez had been bought by arsenal.
