Something Odd Going on with Tevez

[SWP's back]

Players get sent to outside specialists all the time. Every club does it. You can't hire a new member of staff for each body part just in case of injury.

He didn't get sent out to see a specialist. And for what? A fucking dead leg? He was granted leave to return back to Argentina for personal problems, and has been allowed to stay a bit longer

Carlos, I have personal problems.

We lost three derbies last year in the last minute.

And we missed out on the champions league.

Any chance you can help?

Paper reports Pfft.

Uknown quack? You're wuming here mate. Do you expect tevez is getting treatment in some 3rd world red cross drop in centre?

He's not getting treatment from City's own staff and specialists.

Why would City risk their prize asset with someone they don't know, with the champions league millions at stake.

As I said, something odd's going on.

What none of you are addressing is Brian Kidd's comment.

If he had treatment from Harley Street, City's own staff and specialists wouldnt take for granted that it was what he needed...do you honestly believe they'll blindly accept treatment from anyone outside the club on one of their crucial assets without any kind of follow up?. Also, Kidd's comment was (intentionally) vague and could mean anything. Pretty hard to address but if youre the worrying type its pretty easy to see you'll think the worst.

errm - he has a wife and baby over there that he rarely gets chance to see? - we should let him go every chance the fixture list allows

True, I know its been reported how much he misses his familly.
But why doesnt his familly visit him for a couple of months? (or is his daughter still too poorly to travel?)

What none of you are addressing is Brian Kidd's comment.

He could simply have been referring to the agreement between them both for Tevez to go back to Argentina for a bit rather than to any argument between them.

And as I understand it, the "unknown quack" is the Argentinian national sides physio.

The dead leg will have prevented him from training for several days anyway and the rest of the squad then go off to Poland. Why not let him rest up with his family in a place he clearly misses while getting physio off a top-notch professional?

 

[GStar]

He didn't go home for treatment, he went home to see family whilst injured... that was my understadning.

If he gets back here on thursday, thats the best part of a week before the derby game, how is that "not enough time".

I don't smell anything other than rank arsed journos.

You pissed Dave?

Paper reports Pfft.

It's always just 'paper reports' when it's something we don't want to or like to hear, but then it's more than just 'paper reports' when it's something to get excited about. It's fickle.

First the reports confirmed by a few people last year that he spoke out about Mancini's training 'methods', then he spoke out about the training 'schedule', then the 'not happy with football, thinking of retiring', then the 'half time bust up', then the santa cruz interview re-iterating he is homesick, then reports again re-iterating he might quit football at some point in the near future, now having to return to Argentina for personal reasons'.

Let me guess, just a huge anti-city agenda by the media. The guy always give's 100%, has been phenomenal for us, goal ratio is top class, but it is becoming ever more clearer, that something isn't right. Whether it's Mancini, the club, Manchester, family problems, fair play to him for continuing to produce consistent performances, but Didsbury Dave is right to question this. Furthermore, what really baffled me was David Platt's quote last week, 'he definitely won't be fit for Saturday, but would have had a great chance had the game be a day later on the sunday' - I mean what the fuck is that, the games would have been less than 24 hours apart, and he goes from having absolutely no chance, to a great chance. These 'dead leg's are complex injuries alright

So why did Kidd say "noone knows what went on but the two of them"?

Why didn't he just say he has personal problems, or a dead leg or whatever?

He may well have used an ill advised method of stopping any further questions about Tevez and Mancini.

If he had said - "I dont want to say anything further" the conspiracy theorists would have jumped all over that.

If asked he had said "No comment" then the same would have happened.

Kiddo was in a lose/lose scenario there and I personally think the papers are making hay whilst they can.

I predict that Tevez will be back in time for the Derby which is likely what Mancini wanted in the end but didnt want to go public with as it allowed 'special treatment' for Tevez.
