Carlos hands in transfer request

[Plain Speaking]

There are similarities with the war United had with Rooneys agent and the United management, prior to him re-signing his contract. I believe United released the story that Rooney had slept with the prostitute because they thought Rooney was leaving and they knew the united fans would be split between loyalty for Fergie and Rooney.

City ban Kia as "persona non gratis" and his agent immediately retaliates with well "if you wont allow me to be here my player is not staying either" I know Tevez is a troubled character who is difficult to keep happy but it is more than coincidence that the week his agent is banned he puts in a transfer request. There is talk from his agent he is staying in Europe when he leaves City, so the family issues are just secondary. The City management must have known Kia would not take his ban lying down and I only hope we have some top strikers lined up for the jan transfer window.

Distressing situation. I would never have thought it possible!
There is only one reason why this have happened. And this reason can only cause damage to the club. The positin in the leaugue table is not an excuse. It's quiet normal situation when the player who deserves to play have no chance to prove himself, or he has just 30 minutes, or he's on loan. We are losing our best players and buying Balos. An it's a real pain.

WTF are you going on about?

"We are losing our best players"?

Go on then, tell us who it is we have lost exactly?

Joint top of the league and that with losing our best players....

What a fucking croc of shit, sorry pal but it is!

I just don't get it , how can he go from doing an interview in the city mag stating the rumours he is unhappy as lies ... to then handing in a transfer request !!!

transfer means move to another club......rather then terminate contract IMO. If thats case, and he is homesick who could afford him in S Amercia?

This smells of a Robby move, get a loan deal to your home club....collect wages or maybe its all agent bull for a move elsewhere.....football today.

He wants out, fair enough, thanks carlos, wish you well and bye.

We have enough quality and resources to plug gap and it might make us stronger not relying on one player!

This can be a very positive move for us, new capt, new players, new approach.....this might be just what we need!!

(then again our season could fall apart and other players will want away and no new players will want to come)

THIS THIS THIS.

Agree completely, as much as i like Tevez we can not allow the club to be raped like Rooney did with the rags, if this happens who will be next.

we need to take a stand and i am happy how we are dealing with this, we could not accept his request or else his value would drop significantly. however by confirming the request we have confirmed he is available at the right price.

This will allow us to attract another top striker in January now, also i think this will free up the captains armband for Kompany ( i have never understood how he didn't get the armband this season.)

There was a time when we thought we would not be able to survive without Robiniho. before he went missing in action.

One thing is for sure, if he goes his replacement will be world class. we can afford anyone we want and it is looking more and more likely that we will also be able to offer champions league football as well.

We are bigger than any one player no matter how good they are.

How long before the rags come up with a "goodbye from Manchester" poster.

Go Tevez! You soft shite. Loads of people with normal jobs work in enviroments where they hate getting up in the mornings to go to work. We nearly all have managers we cannot stand but we have to work for. But because Mancini wont bend over to please you you throw a strop.
I have to tell my little boy who worships you that you no longer want to play for gods own club because you dont get on with your boss.

Pissed off :(

 

[Kompanyon]

its very sad..but if we decide too sell Tevez he is worth atleast 50m these days.the question is what club in the world can afford him ??

Ok. Let it be) No Superman, Bellers, SWP is about to leave, Weiss is on loan, Adebayor. What about Adam? But on the other hand Balo's behaviour is just normal?! And Adam has to improve. Hah. Almost every time he scores, he shows his desire to give his best. And he gives his best! What a performance every time! But he has to improve. Like others. It's unfair.

apparently Neil Ashton (from NOTW that released the story and is obviously talking to Tevez's agent Kia), was on five live last night and said the interview was done before the Bolton game. It was said tevez was very unhappy that City had released the "old" interview. Catch it on "listen again" BBC radio about 12.20am 11/12/10.

 

[simon23]

if he goes....where will he go...????

this is what i cannt get my head around

chelsea are the only team in the prem that can afford him - but would he stay in the prem IF its all about being closer to his family??? and would we sell to a rival?

real madrid/barca??? not really that much closer than the uk ( a couple of hrs closer maybe but thats about it)

who else could possibly afford him??????

The way I see the timing of events are:

1/ Carlos has had an issue with Mancini for some time - but it is not the end of the world - if only Kia would stop stirring - with him leaking out all sorts of stuff that he hears from Carlos.

2/ The Rooney situation demonstrates the opportunity to Kia to renegotiate 'his' player's deal - he has probably been behind the Ya Ya crap as well to unsettle his player and to get the remit to negotiate

3/ CITY recognise the need to put an end to rumours and do the 2 part interview - stating several days earlier that the interview will be issued on the site - and therefore unable to not put it out

4/ Then comes the substitution against Bolton after which Carlos says he wants out - what can CITY do then? They cannot retract the issue of the interview - they do the sensible thing and let him head off to Argentina hoping that it all calms down and can be handled - so they go ahead with the publishing the interview - no doubt discussing frantically behind the scenes how to handle things and keep it all private

5/ But this does not suit Kia - he wants it out to pile the pressure on CITY and make a wedge. I would not be surprised if he has had discussions with Madrid to pave the way and that they think that they can roll CITY over and get Tevez on the cheap.

It is simply not logical that any Argentine club could afford Tevez, only the like of RM and Barca could - but they could not compete with CITY unless the position was destabilised so we ended up caving in - typical Kia stuff and I would not be surprised if Madrid have not 'had a word' with Kia after having failed to get Rooney

I would say to Carlos (because he is that important) that a) we will allow him an extended break in Argentina every 6 weeks in line with the priority of our games, b) that we will allow him a major break at the end of the season and limit his need to be on pre-season tour etc and c) confirm that we will renegotiate his contract at the mid -term and ensure that he remains the bast paid player at the club and in the prem.....

I would get Kahldoon or Gary to have the chat personally - this will at least blow all the hidden stuff out into the open and strip things back to the basics = likely that the agent wants to secure a major pay rise for his client

This is a pivotal point - CITY need to be firm but fair and flexible - we do not need to be hard-arsed - just firm - be sensitive - be caring - but do not be mugged.

The good news is that we have the January window around the corner - our defence and midfield are performing well - we could get a lead striker in (Dzeko for me) that would be a good acquisition anyway should Tevez stay and if he does not provide cover - in short CITY are beyond the point where we will be derailed by an issue with 1 player - I think that we can win the title with any combination of Tevez, Mario and Dzeko in front of the best performing defence and MF in the country
