Juventus may be a more realistic option. Speaking of Juventus, what about some sort of a swap deal? Have they got anyone we might want.
Please let this be a stand alone thread. It's a discussion about player's agents and their behaviour rather than Tevez himself.

In my opinion the Corinthians bid was and is bollocks from the off. Corinthians do not have £40m to pay for this deal and shelling out the full amount in one hit upfront is the only way this deal could be done by the Brazilian transfer deadline of 20th July.
Any deal that involves sponsorship from 3rd parties or percentage of future TV rights or whatever instalment package put up by Corinthians is going to be complex and City will go through any proposal with a fucking microscope and start insisting on bank guarantees against the proposed future income and the necessary underwriting for this sort of deal will not be done in 5 days.
Kia knows it has zero chance of being done in 5 days as do City - hell City would spend 5 days just reviewing the finished proposal and unless there is a finished proposal at the right price to consider City will not even entertain the idea. City will just make polite noises and run the clock down to the 20th.
After the 20th it will descend into lots of hair pulling, finger pointing and media stories about City denying Tevez his 'dream' - whatever the hell that is currently.
Stock up on popcorn and watch the fun unfold.
