if he's that homesick why has he handed in a transfer request? that would suggest he wants a move to another club which is surely bollocks as he stated under a week ago that he was happy in manchester....he's lived up here getting on for 4 yrs now hasn't he, wouldn't a move to madrid and having to settle in a new country and house and everything be the very worse thing he could possibly do to try and rid his homesickness?.....him wanting a move could only be down to his relationship with mancini and him constantly getting substituted...but then you here the stories of his disillusionment with football so if he didn't enjoy it why does he look the happiest man on earth after scoring a goal? and why is he getting fucked off coming off the pitch if he hates football and the system/tactics mancini plays?.....none of what the papers report make sense to me as it's usually blown out of all proportion and considering most of the article links in this thread are quoting 'unnamed sources' who are 'close' to carlos then i would suggest that this is of similar substance as 99% of the shit they print on a daily basis. i thought the interview with carlos on the site last week would put a stop to the tevez wants to leave stories but then at mancini's press conference before the west ham game some journo prick asked him about it again and was given the answer that tevez would be here for many years.....yet here, just a day later, we are again!!!!..........if he's going then fuckin tell us he's going if he isn't then somebody at the club put a fuckin stop to these rumours because it's getting ridiculous now.
