Himself and yer man Kia Joorabchian are a pair of s**t-stirrers.

Fergie. Sign him up
Fergie Fergie. Sign him up.

LOL tbh.

Supposedly wants to raise his kid back home In Buenos Aires, has he made enough buck to go play for Boca already ?

IvySlayer

I am starting to see why Ferguson shipped him out of United.

Dolph Starbeam

Such a waste of a player with so much potential, would Mourinho fancy him at Real? He needs a manager with some balls to tell him who the boss is.

Trampas

what arg team can afford him?

he is a just a cry baby. I want to go home.

He should be so lucky to have what he has

Hardly a big shock tbh.

mike65

Transfer? I thought he just wanted to go home.

flahavaj

Delicious.

Yakult

lol, off with him I say.

Im pretty sure city wont mind either, they have the cash to replace him 5 times over.

Good player tho.

Considering he's spent about a year and a half at the richest club in the world's best player, I would say so, yes.
He wouldn't have been on coppers at United, either.

I'm sure they will mind tbh.

City should dump him into the reserves rather then sell him, not like they need the money.

He's used to a lavish lifestyle and he has a good life ahead of him yet so I wouldn't be so sure, a lot of Argentinians and Brazilians can just totally leave the game, no coaching or tv work so he is relying on the money he makes between now and the end of his career to see him over for life.

Of course they will. They're hugely over reliant on him.

Is Kia just his agent now or does he still own bits of Tevez ?

MagicMarker

lol, diriculous.

Blatter

There's no official confirmation yet regarding this,

I'm taking this with a pinch of salt until I get some.

Yeah, like his brain.

he saw a cow in a field and liked it

39 goals in 60 games for Manchester City. He's going to be a massive loss.

you being serious? It not like they would be paying him the Argentinian minimum wage....

Sick enough, not really shocking.

City are better off without him.

He'd be very welcome at Galway United

He's been pretty open about the fact that he came to Europe for the cash and will return to South America as soon as he's made enough money and he will retire early. I say good on him. Its like walking into a casino and realising you are great at poker, clean the casino out then walk away and enjoy your winnings, never to return.

Shipped him out by offering him a contract extension?

Tevez leaving and City possibly at the top of the table at xmas makes for an interesting transfer window this Xmas:D

EDIT: or near the top!! (don't wanna be too optomistic)

The story is being reported from other sources now. Seems he doesn't see eye to eye with Mancini at all. It's strange that he has hinted at retirement more than once. Why on earth would a top player like him, on top of his game and on massive wages, even consider such a thing? Must be stuff going on here that we don't know about. Big blow to City all the same, just when it was looking like they might actually be title contenders. Apparently he didn't even attend the Christmas party, so relations between him and RM must be pretty much bust.

CARLOS TEVEZ WANTS MAN CITY EXIT

Carlos Tevez wants to leave Manchester City.

Reports emerged on Saturday evening that Tevez had handed in a written transfer request and this has been confirmed to Press Association Sport, even though neither party has made any official comment.

Tevez is believed to have taken the action amid growing turmoil in his private life, although it is not yet known whether City will accept his request or not.


It is not known exactly what Tevez's plans are. However, he desperately misses his two daughters who are back home in Argentina, and returning to South America is one option, as is retirement, even though in an interview with City's official club magazine published earlier this week, Tevez insisted he had no such intention.

There is also a deteriorating relationship with Blues boss Roberto Mancini.

The Italian may have made Tevez his captain at the start of the season but there is no particular bond between the pair.

A short break in Argentina did little to silence rumours about them both not getting on while Tevez's reaction after he was substituted against Bolton last week was not that of a man who is at one with his manager.

The pair exchanged angry words on the touchline, with Tevez clearly annoyed at Mancini's decision to replace him with James Milner despite the fact he had scored the only goal.

Subsequently, Tevez did not attend the players' Christmas party.

If Tevez does leave, it will blow a massive hole in City's Premier League title challenge.

Although the striker missed today's win at West Ham due to suspension, he has been a hugely influential figure for the Blues since his controversial move from Manchester United in 18 months ago.

His winner against Bolton was his 39th goal in 60 appearances for the Blues, emphasising just how much they rely upon his output.

As doubts remain over the maturity of Mario Balotelli in the wake of the Italian's petulant reaction to being substituted for his own good at Upton Park and Emmanuel Adebayor seemingly destined to leave in January after failing to make the bench today, losing Tevez would be a massive blow.

It would also be unpopular among the City faithful, who have taken the 26-year-old to their hearts and would be distraught if Tevez was merely moving on to another club.

At present, it is uncertain whether that will be the case, although there are only a select few in Europe who could afford the player if City were to demand the full market rate.

Tevez's controversial third-party ownership status - that caused West Ham so many problems when he arrived in England in 2005 - has now been scrapped, meaning that City could demand any fee they wish.

I mean if they have a disruptive player who wants to leave, then he should be chucked.

Does this really deserve it's own thread?

Guess money doesn't buy you happiness.

The Volt

Tevez has been by far their most important player this season and to having him leave would be a huge blow.

He's a great footballer, but I get the impression he's as thick as pig**** and his advisors happily take the piss and milk every penny they can out of him.

The Balotelli one is interesting as well, I was listening to the commentary on 5 live on the way home and they said he couldn't give a ****, also he was one of the few players Moriniho openly criticised.

There's definately unrest, but the Sheik won't mind if they staty at the top of the league.

rossie1977

course he was going to leave, after all he doesn't have anyone to look out at from his apartment window now that masch and insua are gone :P

SantryRed

How is Tevez a moan bag? I can't remember reading many articles about him complaining or anything.

Great player, don't like him for obvious reasons but nobody can say the guy isn't giving it his all. I think his heart clearly isn't in football, I don't even think he has been that bothered to learn English, he knows he's heading back. I wouldn't be surprised to see him being loaned back to Boca then they purchase him somehow. I can't see this saga being quite over yet. Maybe City will drive a truck full of money to his house and he'll change his mind. He's that kind of guy after all.

lordgoat

Carlos Tevez has demanded his own subforum so he can have all tevez related threads in one place. Making it easier for everyone involved.

Le King

Sent to me from a certain United fan... Begins with a H or something.

Tevez has been under a huge amount of pressure and scrutiny from a very early age. While Messi was being hidden away from the world in La Masia, Tevez had all eyes on him, telling him how he'd be the greatest since Maradona etc. He seems to be quite unstable for it.

Tbh, knowing very little about his personal situation, I'd kind of blame his family for his instability, they don't seem to have done a great job of supporting him through all his ups and downs. But then that could be reading it wrong...

Mind you there's still a chance this could all be posturing (afterall, City supposedly did turn down offers in the Summer). Make his situation at City so untenable that they'll be forced to sell to one of the big heavy weights in order to recoup some of their fee.
