Yes,if at all possible,i'd love him back here,he's the real deal and definitely the one that got away.
Not quite as naturally gifted but currently far more reliable and consistent than Mario,however,i actually think together,along with Aguero,they'd be awesome.
You have to wonder where it would leave Dzeko,and also Guidetti,though.....
City are also planning a £20m swoop to bring Chelsea striker Daniel Sturridge back to the club. The 22-year-old left the Etihad-outfit three-years ago.
under 24 so not in scope for a Bosman, likely to be the next England media darling at the Euros and a pacy left-sided club trained striker who would be an excellent addition to our squad if Dzeko/Tevez/Balotelli move on. A bargain at £11m - which is what we'd have to pay on a buy-back.bluezippy said:A poor man's Kalou (who incedently is available on a Bosman if we really needed this type of player!)
Chelsea are a much better team without him!
Well and truely beleives his own hype, which has been created by the same British media which results in anybody young and English being labelled as worth 3-4 times their true value.
I would be extrealmy dissappointed if he was really one of our top targets

If you bought him back to do what he's been doing at Chelsea you'd have the same problem (or he wouldn't go back in the first place).
This. And the obvious fact that he left us after not getting his own way, got what he wanted at Chelsea (more money) and has now found something else to complain about to engineer a move away. Would you honestly not put money on him complaining in a couple of seasons about always playing second fiddle to Aguero/Balotelli and wanting to move elsewhere?
He's a billy big bollocks, frankly nowhere near as good as he thinks he is, and unless he grows up general trouble. The only bonus he would have is being an academy graduate.

Balo or Sturridge?
I'd take him back, and right now, if it was a choice of playing him or Balo up top, it'd have to be him....
And if Tevez doesn't want to stay, or throws his toys out of the pram again a couple of months into the new season? Thread not over.Stoned Rose said:Keep Tevez. Stop being ridiculous. Thread over.
