carlos-tevez_1234986cCarlos Tevez is the inspiration for Manuel Lanzini.

With a possible debut for the Irons against Norwich tomorrow the young Argentinian has already adopted the former legend as his Upton Park role model.

He made it clear on the official site that he is extremely aware of the impact Tevez had on Upton Park declaring: “I know the Club from Argentinian players, Javier Mascherano and Carlos Tevez.

“I know that the fans are very supportive, the team is very competitive and this is all important to a player’s development.

“Tevez is an amazing player. He made history here but we are very different players. I am here to try to make my own history for this club and have a place in the heart of the fans.

“I have already spoken with the manager. I told him I was looking forward to starting training, to getting fit and getting up to speed with my colleagues. It was great to have a chat with him.

    Hope is half as good as Tevez

  • bubs says:

    If he is half as good we need to make sure it’s not a one year visit,
    If by January he shows the promise we need to get him signed early before the Vultures start circling

    Heskey’s available apparently.

  • bubs says:

    scotty keep saying it on every post does not make it funny,
    Heskey is available apparently
    No still not funny,
    A year ago BFS would have been trying to sign him and would have been successful a nod given him a 5 year contract and that would not have been funny either,
    Try wetpants they will laugh for hours after they have spent a week doing the stats
