Let the Players Decide on Tevez.................

Will Micah, Dzeko, Balotelli, and others would welcome him back? I don't think so.

Richards: Tevez in the wrong
Richards told The People: "Carlos' reaction in Munich was wrong. It was something he shouldn't have done. There was always going to be a bit of tension because Carlos is a top player and hasn't been getting in the team. But there was no sign that he was going to do what he did.

"I like Carlos. He's probably still the best player that I have played with and I'll always be grateful he came to City and helped us achieve what we did last season. He's been our best player for the last couple of years and won't be happy the manager has been picking other strikers ahead of him.

"But we are a top team now. We can't just be about one or two players because if you want to challenge for the big trophies it has to be about the strength of your squad. There's a lesson for us to learn here. If we want to be a top team then as individuals we have to sacrifice ourselves.

"I went through it myself. I might not be a big name like Carlos Tevez but I am an England international and I thought I should be playing in every game. You do get emotional. Your pride does hurt. I found it hard when I wasn't in the team and at times I did struggle to just keep my head down and say nothing.

"I've been rotating with Pablo Zabaleta. At left-back it's been Kolarov and Clichy. It's the same with the midfielders and the forwards. Aguero and Dzeko have been on fire this season and when Balotelli came on last week against Everton he scored an important goal.

"I thought Carlos was just waiting for his chance to show what he could do. You're never happy if you aren't playing, but we've got a big squad and we've all just got to use it."

Are some people that blind when they say "we don't need him" we're trailing by 1 point FFS (Admittedly a game in hand, but still only 2 points ahead if we win) and he's guaranteed to get you goals. As much as I like Dzeko he is a confidence player so it's risky playing him again the bigger teams in the league, he will come on though Edin he isn't another Torres type. Aguero has expressed how much of a shame it was that he hasn't got to play along side him at club level and Micah has said he's the best player he's ever played with.

If the manager wants him back and Carlos apologies to him and the squad then bring him back until the end of the season in my opinion.

That's what makes me laugh about the pro-Tevez camp! He hasn't kicked a ball for months, and don't forget that his form from February last year to his exile was dire too.

I'm pretty sure it was a well known fact that Tevez under Hughes that he didn't do much in training anyway and just look at the amount of goals he scored in that period. Despite all of the pictures we've seen of him playing golf and sitting on the beach sipping cocktails etc I seriously doubt he's been doing that for 4 months straight there would've been some kind of fitness activity going on to. He's a naturally fit player would only take him 3-4 weeks in my mind to get back to match fitness.
 
How do you know that he will score goals?

He hasn't played in ages and the last time we saw him play some matches after what one or two months off he looked miserable, especially in our team set-up. Now's he's been out twice as long and I wouldn't fancy him to have a significant impact on our season in the few months left.

People say bring Tevez back is a guarantor of success. Is it fuck. Could upset the balance of the team, our style of play, our togetherness. Too many simplistic arguments on this forum.
Couldnt agree more, if anything the bullshit surrounding the twat would destabilise us, the dynamic in the dressing room would change and I cant imagine for the better. We would be much better hiding the fucker in the attic like an embarrassing relative until we can finally get shot of him in the summer.

lol!

Let the players decide?

Don't talk such nonsense.
Why is that nonsense? The players are the first people Bobby should ask, the team spirit we have built up since that incident in Munich can be the ONLY thing that Tevez coming back can ruin. If he's put on the bench or in the team, our football won't be affected negatively, but if all the players stand up and say they don't want him back then that's that. If they say they will accept him back then so should our fans.
 
Tevez could completely derail our title challenge imo

He wasn't arsed before he fucked off and deserted us and he won't be arsed if he comes back

What does he care if City win the title? He just wants out.

I'd rather have 11 people on the pitch that actually want to play for City and want to try and win the league title

There is no way that he will bust a not inconsiderable gut for MCFC

Fuck him
 
Having tevez on the bench is worth 30 million to the club, he will not replace any if the current strikers, he will get about 5 substitute appearances at most and if we progress a couple of Europa starts, let bobby manage guys, the only people who are going to upset the team on the pitch are the supporters, please guys do not fk up what could be our greatest season, we are on the verge of something magnificent that we could only dream of 13 years back.

Like someone pointed out earlier (only using it as bait for his ego) if we win the title, he would love to be able to say that he was the one to push/drag us over the line.

Personally I don't like the fact that if he plays enough & we do win the title, then he'll get his hands on another winner's medal and get in all the pictures dancing around with the trophy (just like the FA Cup last season).

But if there is one thing I've learned from the last two seasons, it's this - trust Mancini
 
i think the whole tevez saga has been the making of us.the moment he did it seems to have cemented the rest of the teams morale and strenghthened bobs posistion.maybe inadvertantly tevez could have won us the league
