Do you want Tevez to stay?

Re: Tevez deserves to stay

I know everyone is pissed at tevez here.He has no right to refuse to come but the circumstances and constant snubbing by mancini boiled down to this disgusting event.It was clear in the sidelines of the 1st half when the match was well under 45 min and when tevez was warming up,he expected to start the 2nd half or atleast 10 min from the starting given the fact that we were 2 goal down.I dont know what mancini said to the team in the dressing room but how the team started the 2nd half it became evident that we were not pressing the ball with much zeal and enthusiasm from the word go ,though it should have been the opposite.Then came the sub of dzeko which i think was rightly played by mancini but for a striker sitting on the bench and seeing a defensive mid going for a forward adds to your frustration when you are ready to play and are eager to have an impact on the game especially when you are 2 down.Mancini could have explained to tevez about his gameplan of "calming the game" which is puzzling given the situation, beforehand through his training or coaching staff to tevez that he would go on as a 2nd sub rather than leaving him to ponder and vent his frustration on these confusing substitutions.This reminds me of the fulham game when he was brought on the 80th min rather than 15 min before when he could have more of an impact ,rather than trying to pull a frenzied effort to impress the gaffer and thus playing nervously with an added burden around him to score.This was the same scene with Napoli game where also he could have been introduced much earlier to have an impact.
I totally agree with the fellow bluemooners that what he did today is totally unacceptable given the fact what he said about our club and the entire summer saga which went on but the constant belittling and deriding of tevez by mancini during press interviews where he said he was not fit enough initially and then not good enough to be even the 3rd striker goes way above my head.The initial statement is true to an extent since his absence from preseason tour and return from Copa America but mancini's constant reference lately that he is still not 100% fit and well not good enough to start or atleast get subbed after 60 min is kind of a personal vendetta between the coach and the player.He was our top scorer last season and whatever be the issue off the pitch,i have never seen a more committed player in the squad than him when he comes on the pitch.I dont know what personal lesson mancini is hellbent on giving to tevez but it has taken the toll on team's performance and unity.It would be wrong to say its totally Tevez's fault ,mancini is no saint either.
So i hope city board ponders over this issue with due diligence and calm before giving a hasty decision.This issue between the player and the coach should be resolved now given that tevez's personal family issues have settled for the moment and the player has expressed his desire to stay.His passion and faith for the club should not be questioned even though he is made to sit at the bench when he should have been playing in the first place.

terwat.

Re: Carlos Tevez [Merged]

He should train on his own. I don't want him influencing reserves/youngsters till xmas if he doesnt train he doesnt get paid. When xmas comes we sell him to the highest bidder, though who will sign this pillock now?

Re: Tevez

not sure what to make of this...

Carlos Tevez has denied refusing to play for Manchester City in the Champions League clash against Bayern Munich on Tuesday night.

City boss Roberto Mancini claims the Argentine striker refused to warm up when asked during the second half at the Allianz Arena, and says his position at the club is now untenable.

Tevez though, has released a statement claiming the incident was a "misunderstanding", and claiming he was ready to play.

He said: "I would like to apologise to the Manchester City supporters, with whom I have always had a strong relationship, for any misunderstanding that occurred in Munich.

"They understand that when I'm on the pitch I have always given my best for the club. In Munich on Tuesday I had warmed up and I was ready to play.

"This is not the right time to go into specific details as to why this did not happen but I wish to state I never refused to play. There was some confusion on the bench and I believe my position was misunderstood.

"Going forward, I am ready to play when required and to fulfil my obligations."

Re: Carlos Tevez [Merged]

To me it is obvious that Tevez is doing all these shenanigans so his price tag will go down considerably. By now he is worth 25mil? I think Kia is accessorizing him on this, now Corinthians can buy him and Kia can do more shady business with them..

I want him out of the club for good....I gave him a second chance when he came back after summer.....BUT we dont need this in the club and his very presence is disrupting the team and could cost us. Tell him to fuck off, take his dummy and never come near the club again. The fans who forked out alot of money to go to munich derserve better, the fans who shell out money week in week out deserve better....I could not give a toss if he scored 100 goals, the club is bigger than a player....just sell him to anyone FFS!

Re: So what are you gona do with your Teves gear???

take a permanent marker and replace the name Tevez with C##T on the back. Spend too much hard earned money on the 3rd shirt to go with the other ones and I certainly am not burning or binning or ripping up or shredding or shitting on or doing anything of that nature to a City top. His name gone and replaced with C##T should work.

To be fair the one I threw out was the "once a blue" tevez t-shirt. The proper kits cost too much to just throw em out!

Carlos Tevez Statement.

Here is a statement released this morning from the Tevez camp. For me this makes things worse for him as he is now backtracking. we have to isolate him away from the squad. However. I would bring him on for the last 5 minutes against Blackburn so the fans can boo him.



Carlos Tevez has denied accusations claiming he refused to come on in Manchester City's 2-0 defeat to Bayern Munich on Tuesday.

The Argentine striker appeared to have refused to leave the substitutes' bench during a UEFA Champions League clash at the Allianz Arena.

Roberto Mancini was said to be keen to bring the striker on and was left angered when it became clear that no change would be happening.

The Italian coach later claimed that Tevez was 'finished' at City and would never play for him again.

Mancini revealed that he would be speaking with the club's owner and board before deciding what action to take.

Tevez, though, insists that he did not refuse to play and is ready to be called upon when required.

"In Munich on Tuesday I had warmed up and was ready to play. This is not the right time to get into specific details as to why this did not happen. But I wish to state that I never refused to play."
