For me not at least trying to sign Tevez is the one I can't just get my head around.
Very cheap, experienced, knows the league inside out, versatile, top class forward - why the fuck didn't we go in for him?
Absolutely. Big miss there. Even Jovetic is a miss.
This "I can't believe we didn't go in for sub standard player x" line or reasoning is bizzare. No one would have been happy if we spent 3m on on David Villa to be our first choice striker. Most wouldn't have been happy with Tevez either, he hasn't been top class for over 2 years. None of those guys would have been first choice for anyone here.
Nothing wrong in going for the best possible players available out there, you can't sign your 5th or 6th choice just to play it safe. The issue is that our first choice target has ended up being something that was never really on, and we've spent too much time trying to get it done.
