Rob, every New Maradona, when moving to Europe for first time, becomes a massive news. Didn't the same thing happen to Aimar, Riquelme, and obviously, Saviola??...Even if people have never seen them play before, there always are high expectations for new Maradonas, and Tevez is no different....
I mean, his season in West Ham and first year with MU saw him reach the world class status....By god, he was even regarded as a forerunner for Ballon D'OR.......despite being have as good as the apache of Boca....
ANd btw, you can argue the same thing on Lavezzi N' Aguero.....former turned from a promising player to a soon-to-be-world-class player, the latter....well...a promise to one of the bests in the game
