Well put

Tevez says he wants out = no loaylty bonus/pay off

Tevez says he wants to stay = top price for club, pay off for Tevez, pay day for Kia

RVP = World Class

Totally agree. Naive in the extreme to take Tevez's public utterances of loyalty at face value after what happened last season. Time to fuck him off and bring in RVP.

And what about Mancini's comments?

Tevez is a better player, or at least comparable as all players have different strengths and weaknesses. He is also younger than RVP. It makes no sense from a footballing or commercial point of view.

I understand but don't believe in Tolmie's interpretation of bluff and double bluff.

 

[rickmcfc]

Tevez hit 4 goals last season and is 28 years old
RVP hit 30 goals last season and is 28 years old
We could sell Tevez for 25 mill and sign RVP for 17 mil and save a fortune on wages, thats a no brainer for me.

Tevez fits into our team and everyone knows how he plays

RVP is a good player, but he isnt in the same league as Tevez. I will be fuming if we get rid of tevez and get RVP in his place.

If you're hoping to sell a car you don't say 'this is a really unreliable car and I can't wait to see the back of it'. you say 'I love this car, but if the right offer came in'. It's naive to expect Mancini to say anything else other than that he wants to keep Tevez. I don't believe him for one second.

Mancini says Tevez is to stay = club doesn't get shafted on transfer fee.

Tevez may be 6 or so months younger than RVP, but has also stated on many occasions that he intends to retire or return to Argentina at 30 or before.

I sort of disagree, they are each different players both have different strengths and weaknesses. I believe it does make sense commercially, if Tevez leaves he will go for nothing, if we sign RVP over say 4 years and after three decide to sell him he will have a value to the club, shirts, sponsorship all that stuff but also some resale value even if it is only a couple of million quid. I am also in agreement with TH we are dealing with AC and they are the biggest wind up merchants you can get and are good a mind games and double bluff, just wish we weren't dealing with them.

Well said that!

I see on the other thread that Pedro is on the transfer list by Barca, if we signed him do you think he would be good enough to offer the width we need and supply the crosses for RVP or Dzeko?

Not much, this is Pedro were talking about.

Yes. I used to think that Pedro wasn't 'all that', and initially on his return from injury, he seemed to have lost some of his pace. However, towards then end of the season he showed his quality, his end product is top drawer and during the euros he looked fitter and quicker than in say, February, as you may expect.

Sorry should have put a smiley on the end of my post. I know a lot of people on here have been banging on all the time about Bale and a class wide player well it will be interesting whether we are in for this lad. IMO it would certainly help our forwards no end.

 

[Ray78]

Pedro will be quality signing if we are interested.

Definitely on the transfer list or just bullshit rumour? Would be beyond a no brainer if he were available. Superb player.

Be good for Dave as he´s a fellow Canarian

They have to find the funds to land Neymar and Martinez.

 

[SPIDERBOY]

On the subject of TH's video, I've a feeling that we're trying to sign a big player from one of the massive clubs, clubs that are known more for taking players from clubs then having players taken from them.

i think this could be spot on.....tolm said in one of his posts"city will once again be ruining football"....did we not firs get accused of that when we supposedly bid £109 mil for kaka?

RVP wants the same wages as Tevez if not more, he wants that 200-250k a week lucrative contract now!

We should keep Tevez as he is part of the Champions winning squad whether anybody likes it, he is proven in our team, part of the argie trio and works well with Kun.

RVP is getting old, injury prone (1 OK year does not count) and has a huge ego! We need a younger option if we are going for a striker - I thought we are creating a dynasty not a quick fix!

 

[mancityscot]

whowever we sign i hope we dont get rid of dzeko. his touch can improve and he scores goals and is a top player. seems a lovely lad too. would be such a shame to get rid of him.

They are 6 months apart age wise (Tevez and RVP) it's not like Van Persie is on the cusp of retirement.
