Should Tevez contract be extended

Its a no brainer really, he's 28 which is usually the peak of a strikers powers therefore if we don't get him to agree a contact we risk losing a potentially 20 million striker for nought. He might not be at the top of his form but he is still very very effective. Forget what happened in the past now. Since coming back in he has worked hard and performed. We need to sign him up on maybe a three year contract with perhaps the carrot of a free move to Boca (and Boca only) at the end of it when his value will have decreased substantially anyway.
 
I just have the feeling that he may want to go back to Argentina,as much as I would love him to sign a new contract.
Perhaps once he sorted his head out,after his golfing holiday,this was on his agenda,keep his head down,no upsets,work well,lose weight,all of which have contributed to his successful season so far,in terms of playing ability,but not his goal scoring,as per prvious seasons.
Far too good to keep leaving on the bench,IMO and would love to see him given a decent run.
 
If he wants a contract does that not tell us he wants to stay and play for the club and its supporters i know he gets paid shit loads but could get that anywhere i personally don't think he's motivated by money.

its a no brainer for me sign him up he would get in any team in the world.

Yes - providing Mancini and Soriano are also convinced. They see him at closer quarters than we do. He certainly looks happier and far more settled while his on-pitch commitment has always been second to none. A repacement of equivalent quality woud cost over £30m in transfer fee alone, even in the FFP era.

One of the finest players ever to have worn the sky blue shirt in my view. Some have flair, some have work rate. Tevez combines the two better than almost anyone.

That was my view back in September and Tevez has done nothing to alter it. If the whole team had the same on-pitch attitude as Vinnie, Zab and him, we might be 7 points ahead of the rags instead of 7 behind.

One change in the meantime is that Mancini's position can no longer be taken for granted. That means additional inputs may or may not be needed when taking a forward look, if you catch my drift.

It will be a commercial decision too and any contract extension would have to be buttoned down properly. I am sure we have the right people in place to do just that.

Good post back then and another good post now.

Unless Real Madrid want him (which I very much doubt) then the best thing Carlos can do is sign a new contract with us and continue to keep his head down.

A year really is a long time in football when you look at what's happened with Carlos and Balo ...

For most a week is a long time in football.

There are two main reasons we are 7 points behind Manure at present

1/. Our injuries /suspensions to key personnel and the length of time they have taken to recover from those injuries only in some cases to get injured again as they start to build some momentum.

2/.The finishing of Van Persie.

If either or both were to change in the remaining 17 games then its a fair bet so will our push for the title.

No.

He's the highest paid player at the club in a time where we are trying to reduce costs and as we proved last season, we can still get by fine without him. He'll be 30 in two years time which for a striker like him means he'll have one or maybe two good years left in him.

I don't think paying a 30 year old over a quarter of a million pound a week in a time when we are looking at dropping the wage bill is a very clever idea.
like when we went 8 points behind with 6 games left until he came back?
 
If he is willing to sign a 12 month extension it would be madness not to sign him up, but if he doesn't then we need to sell in the Summer, the last thing we want is for him to leave on a free transfer.
 
Absolutely yes.

Works his socks off every game, frightens defences more than any other player we have and has shown a complete willingness to adapt his position to playing slightly deeper in the hole (though I dont think this si his best position)

Absolute no brainer that we should extend his contract.....if he is 28 (?) Id give him at least another 2 years if he wants it.......
 
I'd extend it however he's going to need to take a considerable pay cut.

He'll never be a first choice for us anymore in which case you can't be paying him 200k per week. TBH I can't see anyone offering him big dollar nowadays so it wouldn't surprise me if we thrashed out an extension but on a contract similar to Silva's with a basic of around 100k plus bonuses.
