Tevez named in 25 man squad

[hgblue]

I argued at the time that Mancini should have handled the Tevez situation differently, and that we may need him at some stage. Admittedly, my opinion was very much a minority one, and the majority supported Mancini's tough stance. Fair enough, Mancini asserted his authority and effectively cut Tevez adrift from the fold. The upside of that was it seemed to bring the squad together and the manager was a happier man without Tevez around. The downside however, is that it's now impossible for Tevez to play for us again without Mancini looking weak (Tevez will not apologise because he thinks he's been treated badly by the manager), and there are serious question marks over whether Tevez's heart would be in it.

hgblue you maybe in the minority but everyone has their opinion and Im with Mancini. While you can't argue Carlos Tevez was a good player for us you feel that through misguidance of his agent and so called family matters to put it loosely Tevez had been building things up and was wanting out. So with this and other certain players who tried to disrupt things along with the anti City media and inept refereeing Mancini has handled a very tricky season so far with everything thrown at him, well. The team are still top and have played well, scored lots of goals and conceded very few without Tevez. We now move into a very crucial stage of the season where every City fan should forget all their differences and just get behind the club.Certain players in the present squad have dipped in form just get behind them and lets get the blues over the winning post. I feel that City have to include Tevez in the twenty five so the little spoilt brat has no ammo to fire in saying that he has not been isolated and its down to him not wanting to come back to Manchester. FORZA MANCINI.....FORZA CITY !!!!!!!!

Very good post. Totally agree.

Only Tevez's ego prevents him from playing football.

Ball is in his court. He took himself off to Argentina. If he wants to play football, then he can start the long road back to recovery. But he will be forever tainted. He has a small window of time to recover the tatters of his reputation. I hope he or Joorabchian picks up the phone and says he wants to return to training. We condemned him for walking away from City. The only way back is he has a change of heart

or some believe winning isn't everything and that winning with a side you can be proud of is more worthwhile. I wonder how some here got through the bad times if winning means so much to you.

The pro tevez camp seem to be of the opinion that no Tevez = 2nd, with Tevez = Title.

I don't see any reason to think this way?

Eh?

This is NOTHING to do with being pro-Tevez!

I wanted Tevez sold LAST season! My point is that we trust the manager to make that decision and back him. That's all.

But to read the stuff on here, Tevez comes off the bench and the stadium is going to empty!

If you don't want Tevez to appear in a City shirt ever again, then all Mancini has to do is not play him.

Or are the numpties on here going to boo the manager as well if he makes that choice?

I find it interesting that you chose to jump all over my use of a phrase rather than address the point.

But, to explain the phrase for you, there are those who would welcome a Tevez return (pro Tevez) and those who are against it (anti Tevez)

Hope this helps.

I always wondered where the "Bitter" name came from and some on this thread fit snugly into this catergory,
"If" Tevez did come back and Mancini saw fit to play him i would not Boo him "i never boo a blue" If Bobby thinks he's good enough to play then that is good enough for me! Forza Mancini

Seriously who would give the Title to the Rags because you dont like 1 player ???

Another one who thinks Tevez not playing will hand the title to the rags.

Well let me do the honors then. I for one don't even necessarily believe City WILL win the league with Tevez, without him. We could bring Tevez back and still finish 2nd or even 3rd. And the same could happen if we still kept him at arms length.

This is irrelevant to me, what is relevant is that we give it our best shot. Which in my opinion includes having at our gametime disposal ALL our best talents. Of which Tevez is very much one.

I think we have a better chance of winning the league with Tevez in the squad, it is not a guarantee. Just like we have a better chance if Vinnie plays most games, and Silva plays most games and Yaya plays most games and Hart plays most games and Micah plays most games. When the above names are available, our chances of winning each particular game they are in are greater. When Balo can come of the bench, ur chances of winning such a game a greater. It is my believe that when Tevez is available as a sub option, our chances also get better.

So why on God's earth would I want to limit City's chances. or be FOR any position that limits City's chances?

I understand there have been issues, and they may very well be unsolvable long term. I get that. But there is a reality here: Tevez cannot leave until summer. And one of the reasons City couldn't improve more this January was coz Tevez could not be sold. So knowing that the 2 sides are stuck with each other till May, why would I want to reduce City's chance when a player of Tevez's Caliber could be on their bench.

i think you are heavily underrating what build a team ethic means. a player more or less means really nothing , a mentality means all. you can't build a team winning mentality by allowing shits like the ones tevez has done to city.

I reckon he'll be in the squad for Saturday.

how can he be if he hasn't trained?

I'd take an Untrained Tevez over a Trained Dzeko

Then you're an idiot who knows nowt about the game, club or the players involved.

I didnt say that Tevez would hand us the title! I actually said people who say they would rather come second than watch Tevez in Blue ever again are Daft!
Personally i wouldnt like to see him back But i would never Boo a Blue!
