Tevez finally apologises

[dmason1]

You cant talk your way out of problems your behaviour got you into Carlos !!

As if he's come out and made this off his own back.

he's only done it, cause he's been forced into it.

he'll hand in another transfer request come summer, and it will all start again.

I don't understand this thinking. Lets be clear, Tevez is not here to make City fans happy. He is here because he can't be anywhere else, and needs to prove himself valuable for prospective buyers. And City is accepting is apology, not because they are ALL benevolent, but because there is a likelihood he might be needed in the run in, if some of our players lose form or fall to injury.

Both sides have something to gain. Clearly Tevez more than City, but both do. So lets stop pretending Tevez is some guy trying to trick City fans into believing he loves it here. He doesn't. Haven't for a long time, and for the first time in 2 years City will be fine without him when he leaves, and he will be fine with the better weather (or whatever floats his boat) when he leaves.

We all know that. So we should stop acting like we don't. The apology is to clear the air. It doesn't change how Tevez feels about the town, or where he would like to be. And it doesn't change what City intends to do come summer (sell him.) He wants out, and City management will prefer he is out in the summer. But while we are in the season and can't do anything about it, he may as well lend a helping hand to the cause.

FFS that is what he is getting paid for!

No, he doesn't (we are actually top of the league - I don't understand the desperation of some on here), and I don't think he wants to.

it wasn't the signing of Rodney what cost city the title, it wasn't Rodney's fault we lost the title, it was person picking the side what cost city the title, if they had kept Wynn Davies in the side we would have pissed it, he played a deep laying centre forward position, dropping short when needed too, but most of all he was one of the hardest men to walk on a football pitch, but rodney was a carrier of the ball he could beat people for fun but his teammates were left for long periods without the ball being released to them, this ruined city's style of play, you have to remember their was only one substitute and tactics were what you had trained all week, not what could be changed through substitute tinkering. No not Rodney's fault the people who picked the side.


Later on after Big Mal left,he claimed that he should never have signed him,at that particular time.

I accept your argument that these decisions are down to managers and that Mancini would ultimately be responsible if he plays Tevez and it fails. However, my point was and is that having a decent player (as Marsh was) in a team doesn't necessarily make it better if it upsets a winning team. Too few people are seeing this and see only that Tevez is a quality player and therefore inevitably makes us stronger. The reality may be more complicated than that.

The problem with this is that I’m struggling to see what the club has to gain. you’re right when you say that there is no doubt that his reasons for wanting out haven’t changed. He thinks the weather, country, city and club are shit and he thinks the manager and fans are a bunch of cunts, evidenced by the fact that he’s treated them as such.

If he was at the top of his game, he may get into the team ahead of who? Aguerro? - that’s the role he plays and it was Aguerro who was bought to replace him.

He is back for two reasons. Firstly, the money - even to an imbecile like him, £10m is a tough penalty and doesn’t help him feed his entourage. Secondly, if he’s nowhere near the first team, potential suitors will eventually ask the question of if he can ever regain top form so he may never get the move he covets.

We don’t need him and we should not dance to his tune. We’ve come a long way since he was top dog - now he’s just a dog and should be treated accordingly. His re-appearance can cause disruption and unrest in the squad and resentment amongst the fans at the most crucial moment.

Fuck him off as soon as possible, keep him away from the squad and for the sake of us all, do not put his name anywhere near the first team sheet.

Having slept on it I still think he's a ****.

 

[member222]

my opinion is that the guy is a cancer to the squad. Even this apology, it took him a 2nd attempt (first attempt he undermined the manager instead with the "treated me like a dog" comments) to get the apology right. You can trust this guy all you want, but I'm not having any of it. He's shown his true identity, and I don't want to give him any type of chance of messing up our 1st place standing!

I'm encouraged that the following actions and words sound like actions/words of a manager who doesn't want Tevez anywhere near his squad, bc he realizes Tevez is a cancer for the team.

"The City boss took issue at the comments and Tevez has been training alone upon his return to Carrington.

Mancini is preparing his side for a Europa League clash with Porto and he did not want to talk about Tevez.

"I am here to talk about Porto," he said when asked about Tevez's role.

And when asked if a meeting was planned with Tevez, Mancini said: "There is a meeting tomorrow, against Porto."'<br /><br />-- Wed Feb 22, 2012 1:54 am --<br /><br />on the same note, it would be a total slap in the face for all the players in the squad that have fought this whole season to allow this guy back in, a guy that abondoned his team!

Yes he is, no words can change the man, he is just one, ahem, "sorry" **** now. But still a ****.

i agree. keeping him away from the team is paramount. tevez is trouble and has been for some time.

i suppose being away from his family isn,t the be and end all now is it? or the training sessions he used to moan about..maybe the restaurants aren,t that bad...he,ll put all that to one side for the chance of a title winners medal. fuck off tevez.the rest of the squad has got us to the top of the league, with no help from yourself........you just expect to turn up at the business end of the season and carry on as though nothing has happened...your so thick you couldn,t even work out why mancini took the captaincy off you. ffs!!!

 

[Marvin]

If Tevez had got his move to Milan in the transfer window (his favoured club.....allegedly)......does anyone seriously think he would have made this "apology"?

Carlos Tevez has, and has always had , his own interests at heart.

But they coincide with ours for now.

 

[Bill]

Let's face it he and his advisors took on the wrong club and got burnt. They thought this works everytime, we will move on and get weighed in.

Wrong club you fucking idiots.
