Bobby Manc and Tevez!!

[Nelly's Left Foot]

The Tevez stories will probably go on for ever because of his agent and the gutter press. Of course Mancini is fed up having to answer questions about it and will always say nothing of any consequence in his answers to them which he is very good at.

As for the idea of Silva as striker ,I am not sure I have heard anything so crazy for a while:)

Let's have it right, anyone with a modicum of intelligence knows he's doing a lord Lucan in the summer, and if we win something I'll gladly cheer his name for ever more but don't hide the fact that an agreement was in place after the initial transfer request, be folly to think otherwise...... What's gripping my goater is I have a terrible feeling shrek is lingering in the background.

Incidentally, a Samuel eto or David villa would score more goals in our team.

I am very disapointed by the continual Tevez is leaving stories, but 50 goals in 73 games speaks for its self , we must do all we can to keep a genuine class player,for me Ballotelli and Dzeko havent quite done it yet and I would be a little worried if we had to really on them 2 at the moment ,pay Tevez what he wants and sign him up for life he is worth it , but get him and his agent to keep quiet

So Tevez is now bigger than the club? You don't think we have the resources to replace him with someone else who might be more of a team player, and who doesn't give the impression that he is doing us a massive favour just by turning up?

He reminds of a spoilt little rich kid who thinks the world is just there for his convenience - if he wants to go, then fine. The Rags have moved on without him and seem to be doing ok, as do Liverpool without Torres.

Funny, when Shrek scored that goal I turned to my rag mates and said "remember Torres suddenly finding magic in his boots against Chelsea..."

FWIW, I don't think Carlos will go in the summer...

Ridiculous story!

The writer says "Kia Joorabchian is quoated as saying..." than doesn't include the quote. No quote = bull shit 100% of the time, without exception. Then Mancini is quoted as saying "I don't know how long he will stay..." which is in no way saying he will leave. That's just what the writer gas tried to make everyone think with his choice of language around the quites which say nothing!

I actually think Carlos will be off in the summer but this story isn't any part of the reason why because it's a poor story!

Lets not be blinkered at look at the facts here,
Who else is available to us that can score 50 in 73 games, we dont have the lure yet of Barca or Milan so count out Ronaldo or Villa for the time being, Etoo maybe yeh.
If Tevez goes he will be missed, he is currently 1 of the top strikers in the world, and he is in our Blue, regardless of what he or his agent has said or done he will be missed by us, even when the request was in his on pitch performance never dropped.
I hope we keep him because it will be a long time before we ever get another like him in our shirt.

I'm pretty well at peace now with the fact that Tevez will be off in the summer - I've done the angst and frustration bit, and now I'm just of the opinion that we should make the most of him for his last few months here, enjoy his goals, and hope they fire us to a Champions League place and hopefully to a trophy.

Then it will be a case of so long, and thanks for the memories.

But Shrek? I can't get my swede around that one, no matter how hard I try.

Literally the player I hate most in football at the moment, and he's fucking useless anyway these days. That would be a fuck up of monumental proportions, and it would seriously stretch my loyalty having to get behind that horrible little **** week after week.

I agree that we could actually find a striker who suits our style of play better than Tevez (probably won't score as many goals, but would fit the team better), so him leaving could actually help the rest of the team, but that player is not and never will be Shrek.

The mere thought of it makes me shudder!

I don`t think he will leave in the summer, but if he does, thankyou carlos for all the effort and entertainment you have given us.

More words of insight and wisdom from our illustrious leader:

"He is important, but in the squad there are more than 20 players who are all important.It is normal when you have a striker like Carlos, or Mario (Balotelli) or (Edin) Dzeko, that it is important they play."

I wonder if he says to his wife when she offers him the salt when they have their tea "Yes. This is normal. It is important to have the salt on the pasta.". I presume he starts the only sentance he seems capable of uttering with that same old slight roll of the eyes and half-shrug, as though the questioner is a nutcase.
