the difference is between baloteli and tevez is simple, baloteli doesnt come out every week saying he wants away, saying he is going to hand in a transfer request (apart from his agent who doesnt like keeping his mouth shut) where as tevez might have put 100% on the pitch in his time with us but how many times has he come out and said he has wanted out at the club? how many times have we forgiven him for doing this? he has treated us fans like shit, he rarely comes out and talks about the fans and how well we have treated him. you only have to look at the home coming after we won the fa cup, city had to practically drag him out and when it came to him asking to say a few words to the city fans all it was was 'thanks' (yes i know balo wasnt there)
i can forgive baloteli for some of the stuff he has done he is young, stupid and will grow out of those stuff given time!
for me personally the things tevez has done is far beyond repair. do you for one minute think he's coming back to help the club push for the title? is he hell! he is doing it so if he gets some match time other clubs can see that he is still what he used to be like! (dont get me wrong tevez is a brilliant player) then in the summer it will be the same old tevez wanting away!
the team has got this far without him why should we want him back?
obviously people are going to have different opinions on the matter but i feel very strongly about it and dont want this waste of space anywhere near the club
It really doesn't matter how many times he says he wants out. Once he has said it, we know he does. Especially considering he said it when he was still the best and most well treated player on the squad.
To use the wife Analogy many often like using here. If your wife comes to you for a divorce, but you both can't get it done due to the financial cost, but she wants to move back in the house and help care for the kids until the divorce is settled. While you might be within your right to say No coz your feelings are hurt. It is quite okay to say yes for the sake of the kids, until you are both able to make the divorce final and move on.
That is where City is in regards to Tevez. No one is of the illusion he is here for the love of the club. Nor are any of the players for that matter. None of our players today would have come to CIty 10 years ago. So pretending anyone is here out of love for CIty is silly. They are here for the opportunity to be part of something great, as well as make a very good salary while they are at it.
But so long as they are here and are willing to do their jobs, they should be allowed to do it.
