My abiding memory is of his very deliberate and pointed rejection of all City scarves, hats, flags etc when he went up the steps to collect the FA Cup. I raged for days afterwards and the thought of it still makes me angry now. In a very public way this said loud and clear what he thought about the club and us the fans. In spite of all the goals this is why he does not deserve the sobriquet 'City Legend.'

Totally agree his behaviour at the end of the FA Cup was appalling and even though at times this year he was one of our best players I will never forgive him for his actions that day. Total disrespect for us.

Weird move, Pelle must have had some say and you woudl really hope that we woudl not let him go without knowing something is in the pipeline immediately.

From a Napoli PoV, it could be said that ADL has wummed himself by insisting on the full Cavani fee, if by doing so we have sold Tevez to Juve and strengthened one of their main rivals, and he still doesn't have the €54m in his bank. Maybe it would have happened anyway but strange how some things turn out.

I would have thought Tevez had it in his mind to do one last year before going to South America, or even MCFC New York, a great little retirement bonus for him there. Which makes me think he has been pushed, or encouraged, to go, by us. Which in turn suggests wheels are in motion.

MNo way we can get away with Dzeko, Aguero and Guidetti going in to a new season - last year a lack of goals was our downfall and if you were really skeptical you could say that in Navas we have signed another great creator, but we'll have that same problem of lots of nice little passes but no end product.

Thanks Carlos, some great memories.

I would have liked to have seen us draw in more around the £15m mark for a player of his quality. I think we have seen his best years, thanks for the goals and effort Carlos.

Price is set to rise to 17mill should juve win the league and get to the semis of the cl<br /><br />-- Wed Jun 26, 2013 10:18 am --<br /><br />

Loved the guy for his performances on the pitch and loved the Welcome to Manchester, but him signing for another team after stating that all he as ever wanted was to return to Boca really tells it all about the person he actually is.

IMO he plays the tune and expects everyone to follow.

I blame his agent he is one sneaky Cnut !! I think tevez would have gladly went back to his home land only for that snake talking in his ear

Cheers Carlos thanks for the memories.....well most of them!

Sad to see Carlos go but bearing in mind he could leave for free next summer and looks unlikely to sign a new deal anytime soon it's no great surprise the club have decided to sell.

Regardless of what happened under Mancini Carlos will always be remembered as one of the first real superstars to join and carry the vision of the club.

Thanks Carlos

 

[The Man With The Stick]

Gracias Carlos, adios y buena suerte!

 

[ElMatador]

Buenos nochos él ćinco Carlitos.

 

[paphos-mcfc]

Thanks Carlito, but if your going outbound, who's coming inbound?

 

[Oyster28catcher]

Cheers to Carlos, he was part of it. Time to move on. Good luck.

 

[sergiokun]

Gutted he is leaving good luck Carlos

 

[CTID1988]

What happened to him going back to Argentina!?

 

[cibaman]

Why is it being treated like a done deal? I thought he still had to agree terms (and supposedly take a large pay cut)?

 

[peoffrey]

Absolutely delighted that Tevez is going from both a business and footballing view point.

The financial benefits of him leaving are there for all to see but I think it'll benefit us massively from a footballing perspective too. Personally and I know many disagree but I thought his inclusion slowed the whole team down last season because he always comes too deep for the ball, which means Silva, Nasri and Yaya have no option but to play a simple 5 yard sideways pass because there's no movement in front of them other than Aguero who also likes to come deep a lot of the time. To me it's always been a case of Aguero or Tevez rather than both and in my mind there's no point discussing that because Aguero wins hands down every single time.

They could play together. They were sublime at Norwich away. Providing one held back and one got forward then the damage they did was incredible.

Carlos Two-face.

Carlos Tevez is still one of the best players in the world. I remember that world cup game in Germany against Serbia where he and Messi absolutely tore the Serbian defense apart. Then they were considered as the two brightest prospects in Argentina and the gap between the players in terms of talent was not perceived by the mainstream to be too distant at least at that moment in time. Obviously Messi has turned out to be something distinguishable and is one of the worlds best ever talent but I will still assert that the current gap between the players although marked is not as wide as people may think.

Tevez is an incredible footballer and on his day he is absolutely unplayable. His raging bull- esque approach, work rate, pace, overwhelming strength, balance and aggression, his vision, creativity, passing ability, versatility, finishing, set piece proficiency and his cheer bravery is something that can certainly be classified as distinguishable or distinguished. And ever since he made the (rather dodgy) deal to come to England, he has done naught but gather acclaim, respect and reputation as a world class player that always gives his absolute best. He made instant and memorable impact in West ham, where he inspired and led a fantastic relegation survival fight; he made great contribution to Manchester Utd, where he was part of a title and champions league winning season and of course he made a great impact in Manchester city where he became the greatest premier league goal scorer the club has ever seen. He was a player that truly can be regarded as a White Knight on the pitch as everybody- the media, the fans , the society were sold and impressed by the thoroughness and supposed honesty of his approach and work rate.

But if you turn the other cheek, then the reality of his complicated and incomprehensible mannerisms and personality will become way too obvious to ignore and thus must be factored in as part of the complete picture.

Carlos Tevez being the player that he is has surprisingly not been in the Argentinian national team for a number of years. For reasons I don't accurately know or understand but cannot speculate but you will expect a player of that caliber to be in that team. Despite his incredible stint as Man Utd, he was still deemed a risk or surplus to requirement by Ferguson and also for reasons I am in no position to discuss or speculate.

What I can definitely intimate on is his time at Manchester City. I will be straight forward and start with Carlos Tevez was a player I never trusted and relied upon as I identified that his emotions towards the club were not genuine. He came to the club after harboring the disappointment and anger of being rejected by Man utd as well as having genuine affection and connection for West Ham Utd and her fans as that was his first club and his first experience in England. So based on my informed psychiatric background I can conclude that Carlos Tevez is a West Ham fan, Has a grudge against Manchester United because he felt he was betrayed and rejected and has no affiliation or connection with Manchester City and only so us as a club that can meet his financial needs and give him opportunity to showcase what Man Utd are missing or have missed by letting him go.

I once described him as a lone bulldog raging and barking around the place with no feelings or emotion save the need to portray an impression of cheer dedication and absoluteness, not to win for City but to prove that those that wronged him were unwise to do so. He didn't care for the other players and always looked to do everything himself, looking downwards and just went for it with no regard for team work and coordination. Obviously and naturally we benefited from that attitude and emotion of Tevez as he always did his best, gave 100%, chased everything down and was absolutely impressive to watch. He is truly one of the greatest players to ever wear a city shirt. But someone once said that ''the heart of the matter is always the matter of the heart'' and I'm afraid Carlos heart was never with City and he has never respected the club. He seized every opportunity or instability e.g. the Firing of Mark Hughes to express the frustrations of being a Manchester City player by picking fights with the new manager . He showed his emotional detachment and lack of empathy for the club in multiple occasions not least in Munich and his remorseless golfing adventure in Argentina while the team was fighting during the incredible and memorable 2011/2012 season. He only came back because of legal requirements and stipulations but once he did he was able to turn the other cheek and impress us with his important contributions in the final stint of that season.

But as I said, it is all about his heart and since it was not for City you will all now realize that he was not able to deliver at really important moments like Aguero, Dzeko and even Balotelli because he was conflicted by his emotions and was not able to be clutch when required. Roberto Mancini has his flaws but I believe he is a good judge of character and even him identified that Tevez cannot be relied upon in really crucial moments and that is why his justified cynicism and distrust compelled him to substitute him after 60 minutes when we are really struggling or looking for a breakthrough. I will assert that if Carlos Tevez was on the pitch on the 13th of May 2012 for the last 10 minutes when we were 2-1 down against QPR, Manchester Utd would have been the champions that year. He scored a lot of goals for city, had a lot of man of the match performances but even players like Balotelli will have more affixed memories and moments and I mean really important moments in the hearts of the fans that Tevez.

Carlos Tevez is a great player and will have a great impact in his new club but your appreciation and respect for him will really depend on which side of his face you want to look at.

Needless to say that we still have to acknowledge his contributions and I thank him for all the positive things he did for the club and I wish him all the best for the future but I can't help but breath a sign of relief that he is finally gone.

 

[Blue Bowler]

I realise this might be a controversial thread to some people however it cannot be ignored that he made a big contribution to the rise of Manchester City. His first 2 seasons were really good and he lead by example on the pitch and drove the team forward while also captaining the side to the FA cup. Obviously he had a massive blip when he was away but once the problems were sorted he came back to help the team win the title and without him we may well never have won it. Love him or hate him he was always giving 100% on the pitch and perhaps one of the most talented players to play for the club.

Good luck at Juventus.

Im with you apart from the blip he has always given 100%

 

[bluesteve1964]

Thanks for giving 100% on field. Pissed me off in Munich although we didn't know about it til after game.
On a personal note thanks from my lad for this below. Have the shirt and this pic framed.

 

[Dzekolol]

Loved his commitment on the pitch.

£10million, absolute daylight robbery.

Thanks Carlito. Best of luck

Good luck.
