No. Tevez time with us is over.
We should replace him with a more physically imposing clinical finisher.

I'm not going to wheel out the speech I usually give each time this type of thread comes up, in short:
Unstable character.
STILL can't speak English.
2 years left, so we should sell him while he is still a capable player and can get a price for him.
HUGE wages for someone who isn't even integral to our team.
In (very basic) theory:
Sell Tevez for ~£30m and pay an extra £10m for Cavani/Falcao. We get a younger, hungrier player who is already at the level Tevez is. No doubt he played a huge role in where we are now, but he shamed us on the world stage.

Isnt integral to our team? If Aguero got injured I wouldnt trust Balo or Dzeko to come in and start everyweek (still needs to prove himself when starting). Imo Balotelli should leave well before Tevez. I would try and get him to sign a one year extension on his contract and sell him in two years.
If Balotelli or Dzeko actually got the chance to play every week then they'd score just as much goals, if not more, than Tevez.
Balotelli and Dzeko get a rediculously hard time on here considering they appear to be 3rd and 4th striker at the minute, meaning if they start and don't score then they'll be back on the bench for the next few games until they get another start.
Last season we won the title with Aguero, Balotelli and Dzeko as our strikers. Why can, all of a sudden, can we no longer rely on them?
Granted, he's a good player but he definitely isn't irreplacable as we proved last season, especially if we could get some cash for him and use that (plus his wages) to get a replacement. If we could get £20m from someone we should bite their hands off, you just know he is going to run his contract down and walk on a free otherwise for his last payday.
He's put in two transfer requests, publicly slagged off just about everyone at the club and the city itself, run off to South America for 6 months and only came crawling back with his tail between his legs when we stopped paying him. If he was at any other club 99% of people here would be laughing their balls off at his antics and tut, tutting about how disgraceful it is and how that club should bin him, teach him a lesson etc.
He's 29 in February and with his weight problems he's going to find it harder to keep his weight down soon. Finally, he is the highest paid player at the club and is unlikely to accept lower wages so giving a longer contract extension probably just means we'll end up with a Blobby Fowler or Bellamy scenario with a player who is low-mid 30's (who isn't first choice striker) on huge wages that we can't shift who is getting the odd start and 20 minute sub appearances.
That's a no from me if you hadn't guessed :)

We can get another Tevez with the money we have, what we can't afford is another 6 months without a striker we desperately need.
What he did might be a way back, but whoever thinks that this is an isolated incident is in for a rude awakening.
tolmie's hairdoo said:We are certainly going to need him in January.
His wages in comparison to the transfer value we require, makes no sense to offer him a new deal, however.
He earns £10m a year x contract 2years - £20m
That's the fee we have struggled to recoup and he won't be worth that in two years, even if he tears it up for us.
His wages ensure that. The best scenario for me is Carlos busts his balls for the next two seasons, without gripe, and in return, his gratitude is realised in goals and trophies.
On the caveat, he can only return to Boca.

Not sure about that, Tevez was a surplus because the club already bought his replacement " Aguero" earlier and were ready to sell him.
And the club already gave Mancini +90 Million Pound to invest on strikers (Dzeko 27m, Balotelli 24m & Aguero 38m) thats more than any club in the EPL, and I don't think that Mancini can use Tevez excuse if he failed last season because thats why the club bought Aguero.
