According to SSN... Tevez wants to go!

[mackenzie]

What? and miss his loyalty bonus

Please explain stony, am a bit thick on such matters

Just being sarcy Mac, but in theory if Tevez hasn't handed in a written request I presume he would be entitled to a loyalty payment from City.
Depends what's in his contract really and I haven't the faintest idea what sort of clauses are triggered by what or if indeed there are any.

Ah right. We have talked about Tevez before and I know we both feel the same. No player is bigger than the club.

In today's financial climate, with the impending new money rules from UEFA, then he has to be worth £40m++ and the £200k++ per week to the teams who could afford him. He is at the peak of his ability right now and if he did as well for as as a miserable, unhappy, dishonourable twat, imagine what he could do playing in a nice climate, with his beloved daughters around him, being able to find more than two restaurants he likes (!) and being totally at ease with his new life.


If there is a whiff that his request to leave is anything remotely connected to money, then what little respect he has remaining, will be lost forever. If he goes to Real Madrid, Inter, AC etc which are the most likely destinations, then fine. If he goes to Chelsea, he better be living in a P.O.Box address surrounded by the S.A.S. if he wants to stay alive![/quote]

I also think there is a chance he won't get his move. Today's statement is clearly designed to ramp up the pressure on city to be reasonable about his fee, but there are only 3 or 4 clubs who can afford a salary like he's on, and he has to be perceived as at least something of a risk. Would Chelsea be interested? There is only really Madrid, barca and the Milan clubs apart from them.

If he can't get a move we have to keep him and play him of course . Hes proved for 12 months he can deliver the goods in that scenario. And he costs a mill per month!

With regards to bluesimon, your post has some truth- he's obviously not very bright, complex and influenced by his wanker agent. But most of the rest of that post is hyperbole. Players move on, clubs move players on. Shit happens. Noone owes anything anything in football .

I'd like to think city fans would be above the petty mindless booing he gets from united fans, but unfortunately they aren't . All football crowds are the same; black and White , distorted and blinkered thinking governs many- usually the loudest .

A sad loss for the club. The truth will out I'm sure.

Hiya Billy.
Not sure about the last bit tbh. Despite my feelings about how the effin captain of our club conducts himself I've never been convinced it's about money for him. Unless the 'top club' is us of course! ;-)
Just wish that City can move on now, whatever it takes. If he stays he needs to stop mouthing off to the press.

well chuffed to spot your name on here again. your needed on off topic to keep some of the ruffians (myself included) in check.

i reckon a swap with atletico for aguero would test tevez's mettle. if it's simply about getting to be with his daughters and his wife would be happy in spain, then he'd have no excuse not to join a decent club like los colchineros.

Tevez is his own worst enemy. 5 clubs in 6 years - chasing the big pay packet, which he got from City - marriage breaks up - changes his mind every few months about who is to blame for him being unhappy with the arrangements.
He has been in the UK for 6+years and speaks less english than a newly arrived refugee from Kazatstan - he has NO friends in the UK (apparently he thinks that there are only 2 restaurants in Manchester and he does not mix with any of the other players in their homes or go out together) - has never put down any roots and has a track record on bending the truth time and time again. He claims to have a hot line to the Sheik - absolute crap. The Sheik is worth £500bn and MCFC is just a blip on his radar and Tevez, just one of over 10,000 employees. He asks for time off to visit his family in Argentina in the middle of the season and then spends 4 days in Tennerife shagging a deluded teen beauty queen - parades his children on the pitch like 'bling' and now uses them as the very latest excuse as to why he is not happy.
With all of his problems, he seems to forget that the one common denominator in all of his recent problems - is him.
Carlos - whilst you might be a supreme football player - you lack any dignity, class and honour. Don't try and quality your behaviour with statements like 'I always give 100% on the field' or 'I hope the City Fans understand my reasons'.
You have used everyone, including your own family, to claw your way up the greasy financial pole without any appreciation or some kind of payback, let alone the concept of loyalty. You totally dishonoured the generousity of Mansoor and Khaldoon in your hissy fit in January and now you dishonour everyone else now.
Go to Italy or Spain, take your family with you and don't darken our doorsteps again. God help you if you come to Manchester in a Champions League match against us or the rags. You will be met with the some attitude from all of us that you have thrown back in everyone's faces over the last few years.
A genius on the ball you may be - but a whore in life you most certain are.

Spot on.

The Guardian journo said basically the same thing.

I know the transfer fee is a huge deal to many on here, but I just don't care as long as he's not wearing blue and, worst of all, the captain's armband in our first match. I think I will vomit if he ever wears that armband again.

Damage was done for me when he handed in his transfer request and revealed his true character (again). Not fussed if he leaves but I'd only take £50 million +.

Bye.

 

[manimanc]

i`d rather he came out and said i`ve done another two years at another club and now i want to do the same at madrid or milan instead of lying through his buckled teeth about his family..

and i`m sure when he was banging that tart in tenerife,missing his kids and wanting to be with them at every opportunity was the furtherest thing from his tiny mind...

a very mixed up fella who`s left foot doesn`t know what the right foot is doing and who has shot himself in the foot bigtime..

over to you carlos....

Senario: Bear with me:

Several Years ago Chelsea had Winston Bogarde, he lived in Amsterdam & used to fly over daily to train with the team & fly back again afterwards.

When Owen was at Newcastle he alledgedly flew via chopper to Tyneside everyday from his cheshire home.

Tevez wants to be somewhere where his kids can "adapt"

He earns £1m per month....


Is there any chance he could live in Madrid with his family & commute 1st class daily?

It's approx 2 & a quarter hours from Manchester to Madrid. He could fly at 7 (9am Spain time) & be at carrington for 10, for training. Catch the 1pm flight home & be back in madrid for 5ish their time.

Is that a viable short term solution????

Hi Kev

I think Tevez is sincere in what he says, but it is not a great idea to keep putting the club under pressure like this. He is making us look like idiots.
