Carlos Tevez has today signed for Manchester City in a fee believed to be around £25.5 million and on a lengthy five year deal. The deal is somewhat of a surprise if you consider that he only played for City’s fierce rivals Manchester United at the end of last season, can’t see that pleasing them.

Tevez has long been linked with a move back to the Premiership since he confirmed he wouldn’t be staying at Manchester United not long after his loan spell expired. Chelsea, Liverpool and Real Madrid have also been linked with the Argentine Striker, although it seems that he preferred to stay in Manchester and also a chance of more first team football.

The money might have had a part to play, but if in my view he was only interested in playing for a club which is going places and has the chance of claiming trophies in the coming years. If City buy well and get organised they have a fantastic chance of joining Europe’s elite, because money can buy a lot of things. Organisation and the gelling of players is also an important factor, we will wait and see what happens in the future.

Here’s a look at what City have invested in.
