Fraiser Daynton on SSN said that item had been filmed a while ago....if that's true,then it makes me think City waited tactically for their moment to put it on the OS.
Either way,this whole thing stinks.The timing of Tevez' toys-out is shocking.
Why couldn't he and his odious agent do the decent thing and wait until the end of the season?
And "transfer request" means just that....for sale,transfer to another club.Not "retirement" or "homesick."
So let's see who's got the bollocks and the £80million transfer fee that Tevez is worth as one of the top five players in the world.
Put up or shut up, Kia.
And well done to the club for not letting the little Tevez cartel shaft them the way Rooney did to the scum.
And please...if anyone from the club is reading this thread-Under no circumstances must Tevez be allowed to return to Argentina on loan, with us picking up the tab.Never,ever.
He should be forced to serve behind the bottle bar near 111 for the rest of his contract first.
Been trying to figure this out too, if the club are serious about meeting the FFP, we can't afford to let Tevez go cheap (he's basically our biggest asset in the playing squad) then splash out on a big money replacement. Money spent this January will still influence our ability to comply with the new regulations, a Tevez replacement really has to be funded by selling Tevez.simon23 said: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??????

To me this just smacks of his representatives pushing for more money. They have told Carlos to follow this course of action and hand in the transfer request. If Carlos really wanted to quit playing, or just quit City, or even buy out his contract and retire, then why was a one year extension requested recently?
It is important that Carlos is not made to feel alienated now. He's been a great player for us, is our captain and inspiration, and we are so close to achieving what seemed impossible just a few seasons ago, and actually winning something.
But his agent and other representatives should take note - we won't be held to ransom. We don't need to be now. Torres, Aguero, Dzeko, all realistic replacements if we were pushed that way.
But let's not panic or overreact - the dream has not died, we are right up there, and the door is open for Carlos to return. I feel the club will continue to go out of it's way to offer him support and help where needed, be it extended leave or whatever, and I doubt he'd get that same treatment off any other club. He only gets it here because he is so special to us. Carlos, do not throw that away. Work with us to solve any problems, and surely the taste of silverware with Man City, the fact that you helped build this legacy from nothing, would be one of the greatest things you could ever achieve?

I loved Tevez, but i'm not going to shed a tear nor am i going to loose some sleep over this. The way i see it is he can be apart of big things but instead he allows that snake-oil merchant of an agent to control him like a puppet on strings. We as a club need to (unlike the shitty rags) need to take a stand against this blackmailing, Tevez is one of the best paid football players in the world and if thats not enough our manager fitted his whole tactics around him while he hurls abuse and shows dissent against our manager publicly. We as a club don't owe him shit. This might hurt a lesser team but not Manchester City we are bigger now we have the resources and ambition to buy tens of world class strikers at our whim (yes rags eat you heart out). Come champions league football next season we'll have high profile world class players knocking on our doorstep. I'm just sorry you're gonna miss out on all the history we're going to make Carlos, tood'loo.

Lets take a moment to shed some positives on this....
Firstly I'm gutted Carlos has handed in a transfer request but there is no way this was handed in at 11pm last night, meaning that the players knew about it BEFORE the West Ham game. The players went out and did the job and got the three points convincingly and more importantly as a unit.
Secondly, the West Ham game just showed that we can function without Tevez (who has been amazing for us, that's not up for question!). It would have been a much worrying affair if we looked clueless without him and THEN this bombshell was dropped.
We despatched a battling Premier League side, away from home without Tevez, scoring three goals in the process, so lets look at the positives yeah?
Oh and have I mentioned we're (joint) top of the league? UP THE BLUES!

Don't really care about the ins and outs of this affair, he's handed in a transfer request and as far as I'm concerned he's shit his pot full. Our club HAS to be bigger than any of the players.
We can, and we will replace him with similar or better quality. I will neither thank him nor berate him, he's an employee, payed a kings ransom to kick a bag of wind. Lets move on and forward.

absolutely gutted, but get rid of the fucker. i have took so much stick on here for saying hes been carrying the club in recent times, and that honestly how i have felt. i even stuck up for him last week. i give stick to people who stand by balo , yet iv always done the same with tevez. we will miss him, but this is completely different from the rooney situation, because we have the money to replace him. its an absolute master-stroke coming out with the statement this morning, just as it was when fergie came out and did that interview. fair play to the club for that. i just hope we break the bank for torres and dzeko now

Higuain + Xabi Alonso and you've got a deal!
