Tevez....

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

Good, I hope this is the case it would be foolish not to use a player who we are paying £200K a week too.

Tevez will always give his all when he plays and I maintain that this was a hasty decision made by Tevez on the spur of the minute and one he no doubt regrets.

Everyone deserves a second chance. Him coming back in and playing is win win for all concerned.

I only know what I saw and what I heard him say straight after that game but it seemed pre-meditated and planned to me.

Re: Today's the day

'I apoligise to the fans, manchester has 3 restaurants.'

Just thought...if he'd identified such a glaring lack of eateries in the area, why hasn't he opened his own?

Who'd actually go?? Take away the thousands of blues who wouldnt step in the place and the 12 or so Rags who actually live in Manchester and he would be fooked before he started :-)

it was dried out, mind we had waited an hour for it, then 15 minutes for bearnaise sauce and im still waiting for the two fried eggs to turn up a month later. 2nd time ive been and the 2nd time it been very poor.

Not trying to be a smart arse but, why would a steak house be frying eggs?
Serious question. The reason I ask, is that I just got back from Spain and everything had a fried egg on it. Now I love a nice egg, but on top of my bowl of fettucini?

because steak and eggs happen to be my favourite meal

Cheers, it hadn't crossed my mind that it was a breakfast place.

Right now: Aguero > Dzeko > Balotelli > Tevez

Collymore does have some good views on Footballers because I understand he used to be one himself - but this isn't one of them.

Are you pissed?

Are you? Dzeko had a bad game last night but, for the benefit of the team overrall, he starts in front of Balotelli.

I doubt he will on Sunday. I like Dzeko, and didn't think he was that bad last night, his finishing was poor, but otherwise his game was ok. However I'd start Balo on Sunday, because he can do a lot more in a game like this than Dzeko, the only worry for me, is will he ?

His first touch was poor last night... but those saying he was shit really bother me...
5 attempts at goal, 3 on target.
Unlucky with the sweeping half volley that the keep clawed away... Good save from the one on one.. on another night he could have had 3...

He will be back soon enough...

 

[kiam06]

I think a fit Tevez could win us the league if he is firing on all cylinders and genuinely remorseful for his actions. I'm happy to back Mancini he is the boss and only he should decide.

Tough decision but that's what Roberto gets paid to do.

[mat]

difficult one if Bobby picks him and he smacks a hat trick at the swamp...

 

[andrewmswift]

Are we seriously still talking about Tevez?

 

[collie40]

I will, never applaud him again,may jump up if he scores but thats just cos city have scored and natural reaction, but never if he warms up(right in front of me) goes on or comes off. We need 4 top class strikers, Edin blows hot and cold(confidence) but Mario and Kun hit the ground running better, get a reasonable amount for Tevez( 30 mill+ or swap for wesley or the Bayern lad) and move on! Tevez gives the other players a mercenary tag, but most have come for the football and challenge ahead, with the prospect of being at the start of something big! Just look at David Silva or Kun Aguaro, they could of gone to the BIG 2 in Spain(reduced tax) but came here for footballing reasons!

 

[Comrade Buka]

ON THE FIELD, he will give the club his all.
Don't worry

Well, that's just it? Any ideas on how to get him ON the field?

Nobody is going to pay 30 million for him now, we'll be lucky if we can get 10 I reckon.

 

[SilvaAnnie]

Of course someone will pay 20 million plus for him. Despite his off field antics he is one of the best players in the world or have you all forgotten the goals he's scored for us over the past 2 years.
Reading some of these posts I wonder, have none of you ever done stupid things, I know I have. For goodness sake he didn't murder anyone. Move on, forgive and forget.
I wish Tevez luck wherever he goes and thank him for his big contribution to our beloved club.

He's a selfish prick.

 

[nijinskybell]

What's the official outcome of the hearing - or when is it due if not out already?

is the Souness Tweet that Tevez was offered a way back but refused to apologise legit?

 

[the goats backside]

ok i have relented, lets give him his 10th chance or is it 11 i dont read papers so i dont know. He will be our saviour sunday cant wait for the video on saturday when he is there beaming and telling us in perfect english how he will win the game for us

 

[Dubai Blue]

The guy's a Grade A knobhead and needs to be got rid of ASAP.

BUT......................no one is bigger than Manchester City, and that cuts both ways; Manchester City's short-term interests far outweigh the need to prove a point to a stroppy Argentinian twat or to the wider football world as a whole. Therefore, if he's needed, he should be utilised. It would be madness to send ourselves into a self-imposed striker crisis out of sheer bloody mindedness.

We still get rid as soon as we can, but while he's here and being paid a fucking fortune, we should at least have him available to play IF we need him to.

Completely disagree

If we play him it will do more damage to the Manchester City brand than you can imagine

Mancini will look like a fool

And the club will be seen as a soft touch which will escalate into any player who wants to throw his rattle will do so knowing that no matter how much they take the piss we will back down.

The media would also destroy us

We need to make a stand against player power and we are probably the best placed club in the world to do so

So you'd play with no striker in a crucial Champions League or Premier League game if Aguero, Balo and Dzeko were all unavailable for some reason rather than use the guy we pay 250k a week to?

If they were the circumstances we were operating under, I couldn't give a shit what the media think. They'd love us to fuck ourselves up like that when deep down they'd know the sensible thing would be to play him.
