Tevez to return (Merged)

Welcomed back open armed -the past is history

would make Mancini look like a complete push-over.

Dont think so... Mancini has come out the winner

Re: 10.30 tonight...

What have they got say?

The only thing it could say is that given his conduct in the interview he can stay where he is.

Stop trusting Sky Sports News FFS! Read the real transcript, he didnt say anything wrong.

I read every tweet of the translator live and I therefore arrive at that conclusion.

I think you're in the minority.

In fairness he didn't say anything THAT bad, a lot of people jumping the gun. The real problem for me was the lack of apology.

 

[Danamy]

Then he just sends him to train with the EDS lads, just like Ade, Onuoha and Bridge had to do.

Still gets paid but no need to wear the shirt ever again............

What we don't need though is the negative press that goes with the fucker being around Carrington, at such a crucial time of the season.

The next few days is going to be funny watching all of this unravel.

It would go against everything he stands for if he's forced to play him from above, ironically Tevez's return could be the end of Mancini if he sticks to his principles.

Welcomed back open armed -the past is history

The past is also what we fashion the future out of. This would be an appalling precedent to set....

 

[SWP's back]

The more I think of it, if Tevez plays again this season I'd probably want Mancini out, too.

I have to say that I can't believe I've just read that. How so fella?

 

[I'm Blue]

gotta say i was 70/30 in favour of him not playing for us again, the 30% of me came down to us winning the league.
after reading that, i want him nowhere near our squad, 100%.
i was expecting some sort of apology, maybe even abit of remorse, but all we got were excuses, no remorse and the rag comments are beyond belief, might as well just spit in mancini face.
bye carlos, you won't be missed.

 

[Cheadle Blue]

If it winds them red c--ts up I'd welcome back gary glitter to stiffen up the back four.

exactly. win the league at all costs

Has anyone got a transcript or video of the original interview in spanish? I'll see how much i can translate

Well, here is a translation by an unbiased, native Argentinian.

TEVEZ: "I decided not to talk to the media for the last four months. Last time I spoke was right after the Bayern Munich game"

TEVEZ: "It was a delicate situation. I decided to say nothing about it during all this time"

TEVEZ: I want to go back to Manchester and win over the City fans back. People turned their back on me but it's normal. I didn't understand

TEVEZ: "I didn't understand City fans burning my shirt. It hurt. It's normal they react like that because they read all sorts of thing"

TEVEZ: I've decided to return to City. I know I have what it takes to revert the situation. I know it'll be hard, but it's a nice challenge

TEVEZ on the Bayern episode: "I have warmed up during the 1st half. Then went to dressing room. For 2nd half I was ready"

TEVEZ: "In that 2nd half MANCINI decides to replace DZEKO with DE JONG. It was a defensive sub. I didn't understand. DZEKO argued w/MANCINI"

TEVEZ: "I decided to sit. MANCINI was upset for arguing with DZEKO. Then he looks at me and asks me to warm up"

TEVEZ: "MANCINI told me all sorts of things there. I don't know why. I was relaxed. I was talking to ZABALETA. I had no problems"

TEVEZ: "I never refused to play. I refused to keep warming up. The club investigated and then they fined me"

TEVEZ: "I was worried about my future after that 2-week fine. That fine was OK. But I want people to know the truth. They didn't want to"

TEVEZ: "The club statement protected the manager. I got a lot of heat from the media in England, Argentina, everywhere".

TEVEZ: "Everytime I wanted to take my daughter to school I had 5 journalists on my back. Trained with the reserves. It was uncomfortable"

TEVEZ: "I was affected because of this situation. I wanted to find shelter with my family".

TEVEZ: "It is true that AC Milan had an interest in me. City didn't want to lose $. It wasn't good for City having me away in Buenos Aires"

TEVEZ: "I have been training on my own. I know I can be back on the pitch in 2 weeks. I'm willing to play"

TEVEZ: "It was really emotional being back at La Bombonera (Boca Jrs stadium) for the Martín PALERMO testimonial. It was moving"

TEVEZ: "If it's true that MANCINI said he will welcome me back if I'm fit, then I like those quotes. But if he only said it for the media...

TEVEZ: "But he also said I was never going to be playing for him again. So I don't know. I'll do my best to be available and play"

TEVEZ: MANCINI's position got stronger when Kun AGUERO arrived. I don't know if he would have done the things he did if this was last season

TEVEZ: Last season we almost exchanged punches! But he never said anything. He got a better team this season & felt like making the decision

TEVEZ: "Now that I have a cooler head, I understand City fans. Back in the heat of the moment I didn't. I did a lot of things for City"

TEVEZ: "To be insulted by fans after what happened in Munich was something I didn't deserve"

TEVEZ: "I was very upset by everything and maybe I wasn't seeing things clearly. That Bayern episode could have been avoided"

TEVEZ: "They could have kicked me out of the club without saying all the things they said. Deal with the situation in a different way"

TEVEZ: "I think that's where MANCINI got things wrong. If we had a problem, we could have sorted it out in a different way"

TEVEZ: "Last season, after a home game vs. Newcastle, we almost hit each other in the dressing room. But we spoke the following day"

TEVEZ: "MANCINI is a winner. And I'm a winner too. None of us like to lose"

TEVEZ "My first few months in England (West Ham), I felt terrible. I wanted out. I wasn't playing. But I worked hard & turned things around"

TEVEZ: "I love the English league. I think it's the best in the world. I have a problem with Christmas and New Year's Day. You have to play"

TEVEZ: "Going to train on 24 December, sometimes play on the 25th. It's tough. I didn't like that"

TEVEZ: "There's no need for City to make me have 2 training sessions a day. I'll do it myself."

TEVEZ: "I picture myself going back on the pitch and I know I have to play better than I ever did"

TEVEZ: "I suffered a lot with the national team too. I saw myself out of Copa America. I came here and I wasn't prepared to play that Copa"

TEVEZ: "I felt I wasn't going to be considered. So I didn't prepare. But I came back here and people showed me a lot of love"

TEVEZ: "Fans here in Argentina have always been great to me. I will keep playing because I'm still hungry for more glory"

TEVEZ: "I train in the mornings. I play a lot of golf. In England it's the middle of winter now so I won't be able to play much. I love it"

TEVEZ: "My first goal now is to be back at full fitness. I have trained on my own but lost contact with the ball. Gotta get that back"

TEVEZ: "It's tough to talk about City's title challenge now. I feel like I'm out the squad. I wish I can go back there and help them win"

TEVEZ: "I know FERGUSON really doesn't want to lose this title race. I think FERGUSON and BIELSA are the best managers"

TEVEZ: "I know FERGUSON didn't have the best relationship with me but together with BIELSA, those two are the best managers I had"

TEVEZ: "Paul SCHOLES is the best professional. Him ROONEY and GIGGS...I have no words. They were excellent to me"

TEVEZ: "I know I have a huge challenge ahead. I'm full of energy. Thanks to all the people that were with me during these last 4 months..."

TEVEZ: "...I have discovered the love for the game again. I want to play again. I want to train. Things I've lost 4 months ago"

TEVEZ: "I'll do my best to do that. I said I was going to retire at 28 and was thinking about it, but not anymore. I want to succeed again"

 

[SWP's back]

Is it really that hard to say sorry?

If your boss publicly accused you of doing something that you hadn't done and stated that you'd never work for him again, would you be in a hurry to apologise to him?

I'm not interested in his boss - at least in relation to an apology. I'm interested in the supporters of this football club who forked out their hard earned money to go to Munich.

And lost it all for a very nervy half hour

 

[blue 68]

This whole Tevez saga still makes me angry, hope to God we never see the judas turd ever play for us again. If, and I seriously don't think it'll happen, he does get selected again then I will simply not be willing to accept him back, even if it means skipping games until he is gone.
