For me Tevez is the best we could possibly get. He has done great whereever he has played.
Even if £30m would be a stretch, what are the options?
17 for Bent?
16 for Milito?
15 for Forlan?
For me they are not even close and only a very slight upgrade to what we already got.
Torres would cost almost the same and Tevez would need no time to get used to the PL.
The kind of class Tevez has shown is rare and good luck finding such players available.
I'd sell maybe a player or 2 if it meant Tevez instead of Bent.

This is the dilemma of strikers and money.
The X axis is to represent the quality of a player, the Y axis to represent the money it costs. And with strikers, quality reachs a point in which the price paid grows exponentially.
If you want a 4,5 quality striker you'll pay something reasonable. If you want a slightly better one you'll pay a lot of more.
So is Tevez a 5,5 striker? I'm not so sure... I haven't seen much of him in England, but he's not proven for seasons as others (Henry, Eto'o). 30M is quite a LOT of money.

And it's enterily up to Kia if he want to loan him or sell him.
Considering West Ham want to pay 9 million just to have him one year, a loan wouldn't be that good, if it would mean 9 million just to have a player for a year.
For me Tevez isn't that far from Eto'o and Tevez has a whole year of PL experience. I see that as a huge plus. We have all seen he can do it.
Players from other leagues could and should do it but you never know. With Tevez you do know.
With the likes of Inter, Real, Manure after him it tells me that others thinks he's top class also.
Since I think we have a extremly small chance of getting him, I'd to whatever it takes to get him.
And Owen is just not a good alternative for me. He is incredibly disloyal to his club and has played a staggering 13 games in 2 years. Who knows where he stands now or how long he can stay injury free.
We already have one player like that in the squad already.
