No one can afford his fee or wages. Players of his age look to get their final contract with a w
big wage packet - not lowering his wages.
Winning the PL confirmed Tevez stay IMO, he will feel he can win some serious trophies now at City, he wants to be part of the prject and he is getting payed very well! He won't want to change that.

Rooney will do what he's told. Nah seriously, he played as a lone striker in 2009/10 and had a great time of it. He doesn't demand to play in the hole.
I would be very surprised if we got both Kagawa and Hazard, that makes little sense to me. Although if we offloaded Anderson, it would start to make some sense.
No Rooney spoke about it, he hated it, he scored tonnes of goals there but he said he didn't enjoy it, that it marginalised him from getting involved in the game.
Although you do think that your pursuit of Kagawa meant that Rooney was always going to be the main striker next season.
One thing Kagawa & Hazard are not & that is central midfielders. Anderson has been a central midfielder for you, Anderson leaving should have little impact on how you manage to fit Kagawa & Hazard in, who would both cost over £20m
Yes, Kagawa is in his last year of his contract but, Dortmund have already rejected one bid. Neuer went for £20m with a year left on his contract & there are other suitors for Kagawa, which means that they're not likely to accept a smaller offer early in the summer.
You still have Park, Valencia & Nani, you have just bought Young..
All of this & you're latest a/c's didn't look too clever.
Which is why I'd be shocked if you were to sign Kagawa AND Hazard, but stranger things have happened

I assume Hazard's concerns about game time are the prospect of being rotated with Silva and Nasri if he joins us. We need more options out wide so perhaps it is time to move on; unless Mancini is thinking of having less in the way of out and out strikers.
Don't get this obsession with width to be honest.
Flexibilty and interchange of movement wins the day.
Barcalona, City ....
I think the rags supposed interest in Hazard says more about a possible change in formation for them than anything else.
Didn't one of the City coaching staff say in Italy that we were looking for wingers? Flexibility and interchange are great and I'm all for that but having the option of playing with proper wingers could improve the team's tactically flexibility and I thought that was what they were trying to do.

I love Tevez. But I don't really think trophies have a lot to do with his decision making. I am pretty sure he just looks out for number 1. If he stays great, but I could see him leaving for sure. I think there are some teams out there that would pay him.

He is too high risk mate, he might get 1 year into a contract then want to go back home when a club will have payed 25m and 250k a week for him - City have apparently offered him to stay 1 more year then go on a free back home.
Conjuring up a partnership with Kun as well might be his ticket back into the national side as well.

You'd think he was Messi, the way he goes on.
