How unpopular can I make myself in the next few lines? Doesn't really matter. This is the truth.
Tevez showed his true colours last year. 26 goals. It's thanks to him that we played this game tonight.
In return management spoilt him, treated him like a prodigy and helicoptered him to the airport 20 mins after each game to be with his family.
A previous poster said "Good bad apple". Very true. But apples don't go bad if you keep them properly.
We have one of the most gifted strikers the past two decades have seen (and with Kun that makes two). We let him take an extra two weeks holiday and run to seed. Now he's overweight and feeling f**ked off because he's being punished by being sent the the bench - the naughty step in his mind. All he wants to be doing is jinking through defenders and finding millimetres to score the miracle goals that we've all watched.
Of course we don't need Tevez anymore, because we've got Edin. 6 goals in 3 games. August awards player. And he is a great player. But he's not Tevez. And how strange that smiling happy hard working team man Edin has now suddenly lost his rag with the manager.
Kun, a natural, he will be a great player for us. Balo, brilliant reflex shot and goal against Everton, desperately wants to be loved by every fan, hope he will be great for us, Dzeko, in spite of his scoring record so far he is not in CL league class from what I have seen.
But Tevez. 12 months ago he was the Ace in our pack and we have somehow managed to turn him in the Joker. He doesn't hate City. He loves City. He just hates being left out. And if you'e looking for the guy who will score from nowhere, well that's Tevez.
The last post I made like this I received the comment "Obviously not a City fan".
So Fire Away
