Fingers crossed he can overcome his hamstring problems as he is a promising player.

Fair enough we are all entitled to our opinion. Though as a De Jong hater check out the game last season away at Newcastle.
If you can recall this was the game in many City fans eyes we won the league. He came on as a sub allowing Yaya to push forward, and he then dominated that midfield like a true predator, an awesome display.
The fact that City then subsequently made a mountain out of a mole hill against QPR has nothing to with with it.
IMO Nigel De Jong was class and a great servant to MCFC!!

It's got a bit off topic in this thread I know, but can anyone really argue De Jong didn't do the job he was bought for at City extremely well?

I do like carlos but if he has to go to allow others to come in then so be it to be honest. I think in our team already let alone new signings cavani would score 30-40 goals and is one of the few on the planet who would actually suit our style of play!
Do not be fooled into thinking it is easy and inexpensive to replace Carlos Tevez. He is a tried and tested premier league player of utmost high quality and I think some of us seem to take that for granted. Remember for a moment the league in which Cavani is scoring his goals, it's softer and slower than ours - there's a world of difference, and there's no guarantee he'll be the same force in England (but I believe he will). I'm not saying I don't want Cavani because I'd love him at City, but Carlos has proved himself top drawer at 3 Premier League clubs and is incredibly invaluable to us. Would be a massive mistake not to offer him a new deal.

What wages is Tevez on? Could probably cover Ferdandinho and Thiago?

Hes worth every penny. It will be a sad day when Carlos Tevez leaves City. Many fans called for his head after last years problems, but he as apoligised, knuckled down, and got on with the job. If we sign the right players in this transfer window and Tevez continues to give 100% as he as done then I really believe we be in for a fantastic season.

with mancini gone tevez will be absolutely flying. keep him at all costs.
IMO it's vital that we keep him. Can't believe a few of you would happily let him go. Last season i'd say he was our most influential striker, despite not scoring prolifically. He's our most versatile striker as well, playing in the deeper role a lot as well. Aguero doesn't provide what Tevez has (incredible work rate when no one else can be arsed).There's been a fair few times which he's dragged us through games with the 3 points this season, sealing 2nd place inevitably. ( wigan, swansea home? )

To have the choice of Aguero,Tevez and if we can get him Cavani is mouth watering , hopefully Carlos will stay on at least one more season .

I agree with people saying we should try to keep him. But only on the condition he signs a new contract. Under no circumstances can we let him stay 1 more year and leave on a free when his current contract runs out. If he is intending to leave we have to sell him this summer.

If he doesn't want to sign a new contract this summer and intends to leave next year I can't see how we are going to be able to sell him.
Every club that wants him will just wait until next year when he is a free signing.
The only hope we had was Monaco.

Even if he has not got his shooting boots on his general play and work rate is outstanding.
I still firmly believe he would get into any team in the world, either as a striker or as a creative midfielder! We have to keep him for another year at least in my opinion.

he is making all the right noies about staying with us, maybe life really is better for him now and with bob gone, he may wnt to try and forge a role with pelli.
what puzzled me was why the kit unveiling in new york had carlos in it if he hadnt committed to staying longer? who made that decision?

Can't see us allowing him to play out his last year.
He'll either sign an extension or be sold, I'm sure that there will be a few teams happy to pay 10-15mil for him this summer.
Personally I get the feeling he'll fancy sticking around for another year now that Bob has gone.

Here's my issue with Tevez, bearing in mind the wages he's on (highest at the club):
- If he's a striker, he's no longer clinical enough. Joint 3rd most wasteful player in the league last year with 15% of chances converted. He misses a LOT of chances and is our most wasteful striker.
- If he's an attacking midfielder, he lacks the creativity of some actual attacking midfielders (rather than a converted attacking midfielder) we could sign on lower wages. Not on the list of most chances created for top Premier League players (Silva is though) and 8 assists.
Carlos has great workrate but just to play Devil's advocate here (as I'll be happy if he stays), I can understand why the club might want to get his £200,000/week wages off the books since he seems to neither be a top striker or top attacking midfielder, just a mix of both who can do a good job. For £200,000/week you perhaps expect him to be at the same level he was a few years ago.
