This is all part of an ongoing plan by Tevez and Kia. After just 18 months, Tevez wanted out. Since then, he has given different reasons every time and his statement after the game on Tuesday night and then his complete contradictory statement in the morning are yet more examples of this.
All he wants is to go back to South America, whether it be to Brazil or Argentina. No one in Europe will have him now - having shown total disrespect for the manager, his team mates, club, fans as well as every other professional football player. City will not want a long drawn out legal battle, but I reckon if Corinthians come up with £25m, City will let him go and move on.
All that Tevez is doing is forcing the situation to a head. He desperately hoped for one of the European clubs would come in for him, but none of them would ever contemplate meeting him anywhere near his financial demands. Tevez is the one reason any club would proabably go over the new UEFA Financial thresholds. By behaving like this, it might cost him a bit to move on (less wages, signing on fees etc) but remember, he is banking approx £220,000 each and every week - AFTER TAX plus endorsements etc and he must be sitting on at least £25m - which in South America is worth x 50++.
HE DOES NOT GIVE A SHIT. He wants out and I would place my house on the fact that he will end up somewhere in South America by the next transfer window.
Remember, he is also out of favour with his country team because of his 'bigger than god' attitude. This is a player who is probably the 4th or 5th highest paid player on the planet, but in all reality, is probably just sratching the top 20 strikers of you compare all of their virtues. But because he is banking more money than God, he is almost pathological and most certainly mentally deluded in his understanding of the world around him.
So, as long as City can get some kind of 'commercial' compensation and FIFA or who ever would oversee any situation like this and get him banned from playing for any European Club for at least 6/12 months, then he should just get on the next boat down to the Amazon!
