Tevez [Merged]

This looks promising:

Carlos Tevez has informed Sir Alex ­Ferguson that he has no plans to return to Manchester United despite the club's renewed efforts to persuade him to reject Manchester City's overtures.

Ferguson has interrupted his holiday in the south of France several times over the past two weeks to ring Tevez and appeal to him to think carefully about the consequences of leaving a club of United's standing, but the Argentinian has now told the manager that he planned to sever his ties with the ­Premier League champions.

That is unlikely to prevent Ferguson trying to persuade him from changing his mind before the striker officially becomes a free agent on 30 June, but United's management are realistic about the situation and increasingly fear that Tevez will soon confirm he is following Cristiano Ronaldo out of the club.

City have offered Tevez a 75% pay rise, meaning a £140,000-a-week salary, and the chance to re-establish himself as a first-choice player, whereas, tellingly, in all the various discussions with Ferguson there has been no indication from the managerTevez can expect to play in more of ­United's key games this season.

Tevez's main grievance is the frequency with which he was left out of United's bigger matches last season and he has come to feel disenchanted because of the way the club's chief executive, David Gill, has ­handled his proposed signing, repeatedly postponing talks before publicly stating that he thought Tevez was over-priced. That has left the way clear for City to capitalise and, unless Ferguson can convince Tevez otherwise,the Abu Dhabi-owned club confidently expect to pull off one of their biggest transfer coups of modern times despite Liverpool also maintaining their own interest in Tevez.

City have the advantage because they can afford to pay Tevez the higher salary and have informed the consortium that owns the player's economic rights they will pay the £25.5m fee in one sum whereas Liverpool's proposal is to drag it out with instalments over the course of his contract.

Tevez is also aware that moving to Anfield would irreparably tarnish his standing among those United supporters who have been campaigning for him to stay at Old Trafford. The player is described as "tribal" and is aware of the intense rivalry between United and Liverpool but, in his mind, he does not believe it would cause so much bad feeling if he went to City.
 
I think that the problem is that we on this site feed too much on the total bollocks we read in the press - the majority of which is simply made up. We slag articles off - we slag sources such as goal, tribal, NOTW, Sun etc off - but we still then make loads of posts and even argue with each other.

We have been jumping on this Tevez story for weeks but the only factual things I have heard are the statements he has clearly made

1/ I do not want to discuss future until end of season
2/ I want to concentrate on the CL final and not be distracted
3/ (After not returning with the scum from ROME) I am only going to concentrate on the internationals for my country and will not discuss my future until afterwards

Today marks the start of the working week following him now being available GUYS - PERHAPS HE WAS JUST TELLING THE TRUTH!!! - Oh FUCK IT LETS JUST INVENT SOME MORE REASONS TO BE NEGATIVE TO TO FEED US AGAIN

He may come - he may not - this is why we need to have a number of irons in the fire and why we need to get some other squad players in - we cannot put all our eggs in marquee baskets and then find if they do not come we have more or less the same squad as last year
 
Tevez will be holding talking with RAGS, City, Chelsea, Liverpool(favourites) one Spanish and Italian club over the next couple of days and the transfer could be done this week to one of the following.

not at all mate, i just couldnt think of a better log in

And why are Liverpool favourites to spend £30 million despite very public financial problems? Unless of course Torres and Gerrard are moving on?
