NFR: Woy on the Tevez Affair

" If anyone is capable of dealing with it, it will be Roberto, because he's worked in Italy and he knows the Italian mentality"

Nice on Woy  :drums:



Mick MacCarthy " What he did was completely worn, and, er, I might have left him on the tarmac "

Italian mentality?  Isn't Tevez Argentinian?

Er, lots of Argentinians have Italian ancestors!

Apparently, Argentinians see themselves as spanish speaking Italians.

Pretty sure this whole thing wa started due to Man City holding the player at the club against his will even despite an offer of £30 million (£5 mill more than they paid for him) being officially offered and rejected. Am I the only one who thinks Tevez is well within his right cconsidering how obvious it was that he wanted to leave and the offerbeing offered?!

Probably in the minority

Nope. He signed a contract for x number of years. Whether he wants to leave or not is barely the question. He has a contract, earns money so he needs to respect his paymasters (as they need to respect him). If the other club cannot cough up the money they want for him, that's tough luck. And if they buy Aguero who looks like an improved version of Tevez (and a scoring one this season), then you don't need to be grumpy you aren't number 1 any more.
Personally I think Tevez should be checked by a psychologist. Two years ago or so he decided to quit playing football, didn't he?

Pretty sure they ended up paying £43m for him

You may very well be the only one who thinks this, sir. A contract is a promise. You fulfill it; that's your part of the bargain. Plus, this being a team game, you don't refuse to help your teammates because your feelings were hurt.
