Tevez over Jovetic. Apart from that, I prefer this season's squad.

Love them all but I would have really liked to have seen how Pellegrini would have handled Mario, i have a feeling if he had stayed he would be going to the world cup as an absolute star.

Yeah, it seemed like Roberto and Tevez had clashing personalities that would have never been solved. In addition to there being no language barrier, I think Tevez would have thrived under the management of Pellegrini.

With Aguero's injuries, Tevez would have played a lot, & probably scored 30 goals in this team. And the Count would have had him playing much better with his strike partner. Jovetic hasn't figured much. Barry would have done all season, what Garcia is starting to do. Nige would have been much more use than Rodwell, & a key figure in the dressing room.
With those 3, we probably would have won the title weeks ago.
If we get the best from Jovetic in the future though, he can be one of the best players we have, & one of the best in the Premier League.

The squad of this year is better for me. If we play a game of swapping between squads I'd gave Dejong in instead of Rodwell and Toure over Nastasic. Thats it. I know Tevez was a great player but i'm not sure how popular he was and this squad appears to be more harmonious. Yes he might have been available more than Jovetic but that might have meant Dzeko getting less time and goals. Or Negredo. Or Yaya.
