Makes you think - if you're Aguero, Balo, or Dzeko who have worked their ass out for the entire season for this team, and you get dropped at any point in the remainder of the season for this immoral as&hole - how would YOU react???
In fact, this is the least concerning thing for me.
There is no way in the world a fit Aguero gets dropped for a half fit Tevez, unless Aguero has gone off the boil to a spectacular extent. I don't see that happening any time soon, but if it did, I think Aguero would be his own harshest critic, and would understand the decision to replace him with Tevez.
Replacing Balo or Dzeko with Tevez seems more likely to me. Neither would I think take that decision particularly well: but if there is one manager who can reach out to Balo, and one coach that Balo respects, it is RM. So, however reluctantly, I think Balo would accept the decision.
So far as Dzeko is concerned, in my view he is an exceptional professional and a decent bloke (so far as you can tell if you don't know him). If he made way for Tevez, he wouldn't like it but IMO he is too professional to blow a gasket over the issue.
But as with Aguero, to replace a fit Balo/Dzeko with a half fit Tevez isnt going to happen unless someone has a real drop off in form. And when Tevez regains match fitness, if he is impressing in training more than they are, all three are IMO professional enough - with RM's help - to accept that.
I think that in the long term, all three know their futures at MCFC are secure, whereas Tevez will be out on his arse in the Summer. If the price of a championship is that one makes way for Tevez, I'd expect them to understand that.
Don't get me wrong, I have a lot of other objections to Tevez' return to the fold, but the reaction of these three isn't a concern for me.
